Hey guys and gals im starting up a dark angels army to give me a little break from my necrons and i was wondering about this list i made, just to try stuff out.

HQ:
Sammael, master of Ravenwing 205
Librarian Termie W/ force sword 145

Troops:
6 Ravenwing bikes W/ 2X plasma gun + Plasma pistol on sgt
1 Attack bike W/ Multi-Melta 315

6 Ravenwing bikes W/1 Apothecary W/ 2X plasma gun + Plasma pistol on sgt
1 Attack bike W/ Multi-Melta 330

3X 5 Tac marins W/ Rhino 375
1X 5 Tac marines (for defense line) 90

Elite:
2X 5 Deathwing Termies W/ 3X lightning Claws and 2X hammer and shield 1xCyclone missile launcher 470

Fortifications:
1 Aegis defense line W/Comms relay 70

Not too bad looking. Can't help but think that those terminators will get shot to pieces after their deep strike. I guess I'm just a fan of Land Raiders...

Yea i'm thinking that too, but they will at least get to shoot their missiles at something and i plan for the librarian to be attached with them and go pyro so hopefully they still still have an impact even if they do get shot to pieces.

Interesting list , i would use more thunderhammer stormshield terms. Also i would drop one of the 5 man squads with a rhino and instead use 2 10 man squads with missile launcher and meltagun you can combat squad them and make 4 squads and still have two squads in rhinos as well as 25 points left over for fun upgrades. i.e. drop a melta gun to a flamer and then you can afford two razorbacks for extra firepower

I would take a power weapon on the Ravenwing Sergeant instead of a Plasma Pistol. Only for DA will this give him one extra attack since it doesn't replace his bolt pistol. I would also drop the Deathwing for a couple of Vindicators.

Whatever you do, make sure to magnetize as much as you can. This book is bound to change very soon.

With 6th nerfing lightning claws, rid yourself of their baggage and throw down the sweet sweet sound of 3++. trust me, they will last longer if they have to footslog, and if nothing else, terrify your opponent into either a-devoting huge resources to shoot em down, or b-run away from em into your other guns.

I disagree. TH/SS are still easy enough to get rid of, you shoot them with alot of shots. Make them make a lot of saves they die just like LC's do.

I wousl stick with at least 2 sets of Claws. You will want them if you get bogged down in CC with a horde or something.

I might drop the libby to take Belial as well. Scoring Terminators is nice. Can then save points on the Tacs for some speeders and some vindies or Preds for support.

I have to aggree with you, i have the claws in there for horde armies as i play a lot vs nids and orkz.

I took the libby because i wanted to test out psycic powers but i might switch it to belial later. right now my Terminators whole goal is to deepstrike in and wreak havoc with any gun line or long ranged unit that doesnt want to move.

Sure I get that. Them wreaking havoc with beliel and apoth and the banner is even better. lol

I just think with units like ravenwing and deathwing you should be using them and not the TAC squads.

Here is my 2k List

Belial: LC's
Sammeal: Speeder

Dread: Plasma Cannon
Dread: Plasma Cannon

Terms:
Apoth: LC's
Banner: LC's
Sgt: TH/SS
LC's
LC's, CML

Terms: (Squads x2)
Sgt: TH/SS
LC's x2
LC's, CML
TH/SS

Bikes: x6
Sgt:
Apoth
2x Plasmaguns

Speeder: Typhoon, MM
Speeder: Typhoon, MM

Vindicator: Dozer
Vindicator: Dozer

Hope this sheds a different view on the matter.

I would drop one rhino and make those 4 tac squads into 2, then toss in a special weapon or two and combat squad them, you will lose the sergeants, but the net gain will be better, as you save 15 points per ten marines doing it this way. That 30 points saved equals out to 2 flamers and 2 missile launchers to be parceled out between those 20 marines. Something to think about.
