Dark Angels have plenty of bubble buffs like the dark shroud and the banners. Every one knows that a bike + dark shroud can give awesome cover saves. Another combo is the LRC with the devastation banner and the PFG.

My question is how would I best use Ezekielsl's WS boots with the chapter banner? It gives you a nice bubble that make even Tac squads a threat in combat.

if you really wanna spew some points a veterans squad loaded to the nines with power weapons and plasma pistols, and azreal = lots of attacks (4 on each on the charge with banner) at WS5 (WS 7 for azzy) re-rolls with prescience and a 4++ for everyone.

Or even in a squad of terminators having them WS5 is a blessing, hitting on 3s not 4s most of the time. Then you've got the problem of not being able to deepstrike!

Hes a nice character for the points but his uses are limited in this dex.

I forget what the chapter banner does but I've had good success with Ezekiel + 5 DW Knights + Land Raider Redeemer. Everyone's at WS6 now which means that you can feed your srgt into a challenge and most enemy ICs need 4s to hit. I roll twice on divination and try to get the "enemy rerolls all saves" malediction and prescience. His shooting power is situational at best (specially with LoS) and I usually keep the 3rd warp charge for force-activation.

Ezekiel should stay on the shelf where he belongs. WS 6 does DA no favours, and tactical marines should never be in close combat because they have a stunning one attack each.
A 65 Pt libbby does the job sufficiently.

Tbh I think thats a bit harsh, eziekiel is very gd in the right situation. Hes 145 points for ML3 psyker with artificer and BoSalvation. Meaning with terminators he can give them WS5 and prescience meaning re-rollable 3s to hit, and then he has another power available + if you dont use his mind worm (its a bit hit and miss) then you've always got 1 warp charge for force weapon available!

I agree, WS5 means one extra wound for a full TAC squad, not really worth much.

Ahh weapon skill 5 and re-rolls because hes pretty much always gonna have prescience! So that is more than likely most if not all hit.
