Hi people ! I have my first game with my DG tomorrow, 2k points. My opponent plays Dark Angels and the only thing I know about his list is that he has Azrael in it with a Land Raider with heavy flamer options. What do you think of my list ?

Looks solid. But, I would remove some poxwalkers to max out on blight launchers and a flail of corruption.

I may be mistaken, but I believe you cannot take warptime on your DP since you're playing DG, or you can take it but you lose the death guard buffs like 18" rapid fire, no loss of hit on heavy, and no loss when advancing with assault. Since warp time is CSM and not DG specfic that whole detachment cannot benefit. I believe you have to make separate "patrol" attachment that consists of the DP and like 20 cultists or regular CSM troops.

Good looking list but i normally find plague marines to be very ineffective points wise. If you have the models, I would recommend dropping the plague marines and the rhinos and pick up Typhus and more poxwalkers.

Gotta take the suppurating plate on one of the princes for sure. Personally, Id rather take more bodies than put marines in rhinos.
