Hi All

I am going to be playing my Friend who plays Dark Angels and he always takes the Darkshroud what is the best way to deal with this and the Dark Angels in general with Astra Millatarum Tallharn?

Thanks

You'd want to focus on the units it's protecting. Psychic Malestrom/Smite are decent if you can get them off and Hellhounds can help avoid the hit penalties.

Using the higher BS units such as tank commanders, or pask is a good idea to help limit the effectiveness of the negative to hit.

I run Dark Angels with a Dark Shroud sometimes, and I tend to lose it extremely fast!

It's not an especially durable unit, it's T6 with 9 wounds and a 3+

If you're struggling to take that down turn 1, even at -1 to hit, your list probably has bigger problems in all honesty. What units are you running?

It´s called the Imperial Guard, son. And now strap up your boot laces and bomb the Uber humans into the next stone age.

Focus the Darkshroud down with either strong BS units or weapons that dont care abouy to-hit rolls, they're not super tough so should go down fairly quickly. Barring that, try and force the DA's to break up so they can't make as effective use of it.

The Darkshroud has Fly, so it might be worth fielding a Hydra just to snipe the Darkshroud if you find yourself fighting it regularly.
