Pictures will be posted tonight!

This seems solid. Classic and lore-friendly. Nothing to weak, nothing to OP. If you play it soon give us some news on how it went.

Can do I just need to paint up the assault cannon turrets but that shouldn’t take to long I’ll post as soon as the game concludes.

Those dreadnoughts will really be getting their hands dirty and moving around the board if you play the typical missions.

I anticipate them using the Wisdom of the Ancients stratagem often. It's quite likely that they will be operating independently and diving into key combats, moving away from Azrael's support. You can def make this list work against a variety of opponents.

I like the idea of having them as independent or even reinforcing any area that may come under scrutiny. Plus the extra firepower from the razorbacks and the land raider kind of being a tough egg to crack (I hope) will be fun. Plus the heavy fire from the predator tanks in support from the rear not to mention that 2+ hit roll once a unit gets situated.

I don't like the Veterans in any Dark Angel army and I feel that a Deathwing unit would be more fluffy (and a more fitting option to be in the Crusader).
But if you want to keep them, a Drop Pod may be interesting too.

Also, not a fan of Azrael in general ( for no specific reason aside the fact that he, like Guilliman, tends to be overrepresented on the battlefields of 40k). In this list I fell like he is more of a liability (if you use his aura, you're not using fully your transport capabilities and vice versa).
I think another Lieutenant will be more lore friendly and more efficient (so you can cover both Dreadnought and transported troops).

I don't think having more free seat un your transport than people to move around is so useful, you can easily drop all Razorback (or just keep one) and still have enough movement.

Love the Predators though.

Taken in the feedback and made a few changes to the list o Lt model I need to finish painting is the second LT he’s about 40% completed. (Had to finish putting my tacticals finally on the new base size). As for Azrael I’m gonna keep him in the list I’ve actually barely used him in the past mostly picking Belial Sammael or a normal Master in his place due to combination of army or just for points reasoning.
