Hello, I have five Dark Angels Company Veterans, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a good loadout.

I've already got one of the five completely painted and armed with a bolter, but the rest have lost a few pieces over the last few years, and are open for rearmament.
I'd almost like to give them a melee focus, considering most of my army centers around shooting, but a little redundancy isn't always a bad thing..

I use a pack of them armed with power weapons and storm shields. They are my suicide squad. Expensive, but fun.

I was thinking Ezekiel might be a good addition to this unit, you tried it?

I'm planning on 2 ccw and saving points for azrael and eziekel, all in a raider. While they do get discounted storm shields, azzy makes it so you don't need to pay for an invulnerable, and with eziekel and azzy all buffing the unit you deal great damage.

A few fists make the unit less vulnerable to monsters and walkers, so I would put the 2 special weapons on those guys.

Company Veterans are way too expensive to do anything of any real value, you are better off taking a command squad with 5 special weapons imo.

I used to put a chaplain in the squad for the re-rolls and fearless. Ezekiel looks like a fascinating addition, especially using Mind Worm to ding the opposing character before an assault.

Not sure how I'm going to use them now.
