This is my attempt at a pure dark angels list for ITC tournaments.
My worries are: my troops will just be blown out of the water turn 1 and I’ll lose all obsec, my hellblasters will be stuck in the back and take a turn to reach effective range, and that the repulsor may be too expensive.

I don't like the Repulser.

I would prefer to take the Repulser points and the Scout HW points and add in 2 squads of Agressors.

Run them with Azzy and the Hellblasters

Your concerns are justified. You actually have only 3.5 sources of real damage - the two dark talons and 1.5 squad of hellblasters.

Scouts drop like flies - I get best mileage out of them running naked with shotguns for screen.
Repulsor is very lackluster.

Right now you have two of three elements for a balanced army:
1. long range support (hellblasters)
2. close range harassment (dark talons)

You need a third mid range element that will 1. support the dark talons as they are getting lit up 2. soften up/finish off things that are getting lit up by hell blasters.

I think the suggested aggressors fill that slot very well.

You may want to include culexus assassins for ITC.

For fire power you may want to include aggressors 2x3.
I mean, why not 2x10 Hellblasters lol.

Drop repulsors, the point sink is just not worth it.
