IIRC Cypher's dataslate says he can't be taken in the same army a Dark Angels unit, so no. You could make an army of Fallen Dark Angels using the Chaos Space Marine codex and put him in that. Somewhere on the internet there's a pretty cool Fallen Daemon Prince someone made

He's been ferried through hell on a ship that's ten thousand years old to some godforsaken, war-torn rock; He is one of ten million men snatched from his home to fight a war he barely understands; He wages war against devouring hiveminds, ravenous demons and hordes of hyper-advanced aliens with strange technologies and sorceries he never dreamed existed; no one will remember his sacrifice, there will be no records of his deeds, no glorious parades in his honor, and no remembrance of his name. All he will earn is a shallow, unmarked grave on a forgotten world untold lightyears from home.
Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is the Imperial Guard.
And he will hold the line.

Like Dalek said, not possible. You could play your Dark Angels with the Vanilla codex or something like that, but not with Codex: Dark Angels.

you just need to go unbound, his rules have no ruling vs unbound. in fact they go out of their way to only mention battle forged armies. cyoher would be broken in unboaund dark angels if terminators werent the worst units in the whole game

Go any other chapter tactic or chaos and theme your army as fallen angels.

It's actually the only thing you can't do in Unbound.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

incorrect, and my reference is the cypher data slate that comes with the LE dark Angels codex so nuts to this notion that it can't be done
Cypher can exist in a dark Angels unbound army and ride in transports and be effected by our magic and can even buff the deathwing (which is goofy as heck).
And I have photo graphic proof.

The down side is that would involve using the CSM codex.
Unless CSM have gotten better when I wasn't looking.
For show though, yeah it would be rad. Use guys with cloaks for veteran troops. I vaguely recall one of the older codices showing an unidentified traitor marine who was basically a robed dark angel.

Oh yeah, Unbound is also possible. Because Unbound is dumb.
