Trying to figure out a good DA Command Squad load out, given the following:

* Azreal will be attached to the unit.
* will be using a Land Raider Prometheus from Forgeworld (specifically painted as 'Angelis Imperator' as pictured in Imperial Armour 2, 2nd Ed)
* I have the GW DA chapter banner bearer figure, this seems like running him with Azreal makes sense from a fluff perspective (chapter banner plus chainsword).

They will most likely be assaulting from a land raider, points will be big, so what would be a good/fun load out for the rest of the Dark Angels command squad?

Sounds like a fairly fluffy unit, I'd say:

1) champion with blade of Caliban
2) apothecary for FNP
3) banner bearer
4) and 5) a couple of PF wielding vets to go through 2+ armour and high T stuff while Azrael blends stuff.

Youre better off with company vets as you can bring more.

dont use azreal, hes worthless there i saved you 215p

Azreal with Angelis imperator is the whole point of the unit the Prometheus holds 10, so could fit 9 vets if I take a vet squad instead of command, definitely something to think about.

Toying with the idea of making them all power sword/shield, with the banner giving +1A, make them look cool. Maybe thunder hammers, but deathwing does that better... Then the question comes down to whether to take an apocathary or not...

This seems like the best setup for a command squad. If you really want to get maximize your points spending and pain you could also throw a librarian, chaplain and/or techmarine in there.

The more I think about, the more I agree... Appreciate all the responses

Take zeke and the banner for +2 attacks base, and he can get righteous repugnance off so that they get 2 attacks on the charge. Standard vet that would be 2+ 1 + 2 +2 seven attacks on the charge.
