Hey there people, so I've had a project going for a while where I'm trying to build an entire Full battle Company of Dark Angels Space Marines.

The Company I've gone for is the 4th Company.

I don't want to include the new primaris style marines as I've already built the bulk of the army.

My question is what people would do for the load outs of the Devastator Squads and what special and Heavy weapons to give the Tactical squads?

I'd go with a bit of everything, but consider that plasma is (for some reason) a big Dark Angels thing and you have stratagems based around it.

Yeah, plasma is both effective and fluffy. Dark Angels are supposed to have a very well stocked armory, so I think anything would be reasonable, but ancient plasma weapons is sort of the thing they are known for.

Nice! I’m doing the 3rd company and I use plasma in the tacticals, and lascannons and heavy bolters for the devestators, with my 6th company comprised of a little of everything. Weapons should be customizable as the dangles are smart tacticians and wouldn’t leave out any advantages. Also, tacs will probably have a lot of different weapons as well, since the dangle codex has them holding different weapons.

Also, I use a lot of dreadnoughts with the majority being lascannon and fist and a few with the FW plascannon and fist. I also keep a little bin of Dreadnought heavy weapons, I’d reccomend buying from eBay just for different options.

One squad full Plasma Cannon, One Squad 2 Las/Two Missile launcher.

Tac Squads ~

1 Flamer/Heavy Bolter - Srg Combi flamer/CCW

2 Flamer/Heavy Bolter Srg Combi Flamer/CCW

3 Plasma/Lascannon Srg Stormbolter

4 Plasma/Lascannon Srg Stormbolter

5 Melta/ Missle launcher Srg - Combi Melta/CCW

6 Melta/ Missile launcher Srg - Combi Melta/CCW

I've painted an entire Battle Company in a few evenings

(Although it's much easier and maybe cheating a bit with Epic/6mm )
