So I am currently building a DA Lions blade formation and was curious about a few things.

1. Is it worth take a veteran squad and/or command squad with the Lion's Blade formation?

2. Is it worth taking the Ravenwing Silence Squadron?

3. If I do not run a full battle company can I run a Imperial Knight (have one already)?

4. Can I run a Fire Raptor or a Storm eagle (this would be run in a CAD instead of Lion's Blade) and is it worth it?

I thank you all for your constructed criticism and advise!

1. yes take all grav with the banner that gives them relenless for suicide

2. not really, you can go with cheap scouts and add some flavour of other codexes or you can go for the ravenwing formation

3. you can make a min maxed dark angels lions blade with free transports and then go cheap scouts and i think you can get a crusader knight

4. it seems like you catering away the lions blade. you want a fire raptor and storm eagle + knight+ silence. those are all very expensive, i think that you have to choose one (i would go with the knight)

bare in mind that i am not a dark angel player, all this info that i have is experience and studying other codecies. it would be easier to help you if you just make a list and tell us what you want to keep and want you want to add

I already have a list

I just though I would create a separate post about this.

I would not say both fire raptor and storm eagle just one or the other and not with a knight too. Like you said that would be to expensive. Yes it would take a way from the Lion's Blade but I would just then go with a CAD instead.

I was just looking for people opinions, thank you for your input. So what army do you play?

chaos space marines. but im looking to other armies and studied the d angles a lot

oh and ill have a look at the list

cool beans dude. Yea with the DA you would want to look at Ravenwing or do a Greenwing which is what I am building towards right now.

I would eventually would love to start working towards a Necron army.
