I currently have the dark vengeance set for the dark angels and recently picked up

10 tac marines (no sergeant)
10 deathwing knights
Venerable dreadnaught
Interrogator chaplain
Rhino

How can i build a viable list out of this

Do i need to have a sergeant in a unit of 10 tAc marines to make it a unit?

DV came with 5 termies 3 bikes 10 tacs librarian and the hq with the sword.

Do i need to invest in a land raider more bikes or a drop pod or is what i currently have ok for 1000 or even 1500 pts?


Thanks for all help!

If you are talking truly competitive, then the lions blade detachment and anything ravenwing (except the landspeeder vengeance) are worth a look.

I would recommend avoiding landraiders, due to how overcosted they are in today's meta, also they suffer greatly vs D weapons.
That said, your DW knights would be better off with one, unless you can get them a different delivery method.

Ok so only one unit of DW knights and don't deepstrike them? How do i give them FNP and what is a general list you would recommend. Thanks for reply.

Raven wing bikes with grav I find it makes killing stuff quite easy especially since I play vs GK and drop a Dreadknight a turn pretty much with a group of 6 bikes. id keep the landraider for if youre playing someone with no/very little D weapons.

Don't think there is any chance of feel no pain for them unfortunately, best you can do is make them t5, which isn't to be sniffed at mind you

What about interrogator chaplain?

He can get it and doesnt he give to unit of knights?

What is bedt loadout for him with the knights and should i do a unit of 10 + him footslogging up or deep strike

Only if you get that warlord trait and are within 3" of an objective, a unit of ten would become a very big target very quickly, so it would depend on what opponent you are playing. If for example they are IG with a lot of high strength weaponry such as demolisher cannons, you will more than likely get turned into mush before you make it into combat. Equipment wise a stormshield is a must have if he is going with the knights to make him t5, then take a powerfist and the default crozius so that you have the tactical flexibility to take out most opponents

Shroud of Heroes (the relic I assume you're talking about) only gives that model FnP, it does not confer to the unit (it would be a steal at 10pts if it did).
