After seeing the list that won the first heat of the Warhammer GT, I thought I'd see if I could knock something together from my own collection of Dark Angels that would work similar to that list. This is what I came up with.

Detachment 2: Battalion Detachment
HQ:

Basically I would try to get as many units as possible inside of Azrael and the Lieutenant's auras, and the Darkshroud's as well for that -1 to hit them. The Repulsor is only in the list because I don't own enough AssCan Razorbacks; I know it's not really that good. Still, inside of Azrael's reroll bubble it should be fairly nasty and it does have the advantage of being able to fall back and still shoot if it ends up with somebody tagging a fender. Ezekiel is there for psychic defense as he can deny 2 powers every turn and throw a couple of his own. For those units that just won't fit within Azrael's bubble, the Company Master should give them at least a small buff. My main concern is things like Genestealer Cult lists that have ways to get CC units in my face quickly; I'd have to use the Tacs as bubble wrap, which means basically sacrificing them. Admittedly, the vehicles would then proceed to maul anything that killed the Tacs, but I'm still not sure it would work. There are other choices that seem not to make sense (like the Sergeants' loadouts) that are only the way they are due to the limits of my collection. Still, it's something new and different for me to eventually try.

I've used Intercessors and Scouts typically as bubble wrap. Usually they are squads of comparable cost. Ten man scout squads cover a litte more ground and because you can basically place them anywehre they are technically better, I just like how tough the intercessors are with azzy's bubble.

I think I'd swap the tac squads for scouts as well and through in devs. It'd be a lot easier to get them in the bubble which plays more to our strengths. I usually take 3 scout sniper units and that can pretty reliably deny deep strike for a turn at minimum. Plus every once in a while they can take out commissars, weird boyz, etc., which comes in handy right before you unload into some conscripts or have your Dark Talon within smite range. I've also considered finding a way to fit Celestine in there but am still on the fence about it.
