I play dark angles with blood angel allies and one of the guys at the club uses three dread knights in his list. I have not played him yet but it seems like its unbeatable. Also, would a imperial knight do the trick?

A Knight errant would force him to be pretty cautious. I don't wanna say a Imp Knight's a magic bullet. Cause it's not but it'll definatly help.

that said the biggest thing to be weary of is he's likely running his DKs with a personal teleporter (everyone does) so they'll be able to match you for speed, and do a once per game 30 inch shunt. watch for that and don't let him bait your knight out of position.

I use five deathwing knights and 10 deathwing terminators a full tactical squad , three raven wing bikers and a attack bike, I don't really want to use the imperial knight maybe another squad of terminators might work? my blood angels are just one squad of assault marines and a reclusiarch.

possiably, I don't know eneugh about how the dark angels run to say for sure, that said my gut feeling is that terminators won't trouble him too much. he'll proably be running with personal teleporters and thus be able to out manuver you. if it helps just think of the dreadknight as a big strength 8-10 terminator with 4 wounds and a jump pack. (ohh and the ability to hit at initative with a power fist type weapon)

He's still quite vulnerable to plasma and lazcannons.

DK's are tough to beat. Power fists, melta, and plasma weapons can do it but they are almost immune to small arms fire.

Once I faced a GK army with 2 DK's. My two units of Fire Dragons were able to get the job done.

I once used Scouts with sniper rifles to take one down.

Bet you wish you had grav weapons...

black knights should work quite well.
You put the DK to T5 then you have twin linked plasma shots so a unit of 5 should send 8 shots (one use grenade) meaning 7 hits, 6 wounds and 4 after the invul so its a One Shot.
repeat or get more units of black knights^^

Dealing with one is fine but three of them just seem they will cut most of my guys to pieces.I will think about the black knights thanx and/or the Imperial knight. two black knight boxes cost about one imp knight dollar wise.

Deathwing Knights also do good work. If they can catch it.

While I love Dreadknights, strong shooting armies will murder them. If you loaded up on plasma spam or went with the salvo banner to spam them with bolter shots, you'd easily kill the Dreadknights (and for fewer points).

Deathwing Knights, Black Knights, plasma, melta...
Don't panic, you'll be fine. They're nowhere near unbeatable.

If the DK's operate well with the rest of the GK army, they will even be harder to take them down.

Me and my brother faced 3 dread knights and 3 rip tides in an army where each player has 1000 points. My brothers mephiston destroyed 2 of them, and I handled the other with my wraith knight.
