Tbh, I created this list without knowing much about the game. I'm pretty new. This was also created out of the 6th edition codex, since I haven't bothered to buy 7th.

HQ:
Company Master: Perfidious Relic (105 points)
Librarian: no upgrades (65 points)

Troops:
10 man tac squad: meltagun, lascannon (170 points)
5 man tac squad: flamer (75 points)
Scout Squad: no upgrades (60 points)

Elites:
Dreadnought: Twin-linked lascannon, (125 points)

Fast Attack:
Ravenwing Attack Squadron: Ravenwing Attack Bike, two flamers (135 points)
Nephilim Jetfighter: no upgrades (180 points)
Assault Squad: 2x flamer, melta bombs (100 points)

Heavy Support:
Predator: twin-linked lascannon, heavy bolters (120 points)
10 man devastator squad: heavy bolter, lascannon, missile launcher, meltabombs (190 points)

Grand Total: 1333 points

Any feedback and help is appreciated. No limits on what models you pick, except for point costs obviously.

A few basic tips on dark angels:

Try and give each unit a focus for what it will shoot at (e.g. devastators should usually have just one type of heavy weapon in multiple, and the predator shouldn't mix lascannons with heavy bolters)

Generally overcosted units you're using in that list:
The captain (I'd just drop him completely)
Jetfighter (its points are too high for what it does)
The assault squad (ravenwing are better in near every way)
The dreadnought

With dark angels, generally the more ravenwing units you use, the stronger your list will be. I'd recommend a few decent sized bike squads, command squads and black knights. Landspeeders and the darkshroud are also strong units.

your using the old codex i see, company masters cant take relics of the unforgiven was what tipped me off also the cost of scouts and the cost of the dreadnaught. so theres lots of inconsistencies

prepare for a bonejarring experience when you read the 7th edition book because a lot of this is going to become a lot cheaper

dread, everything in your fast slot, company master, scouts

i actually run a similar list with the 7th edition codex at higher points brackets but i have opted for librarians over the CM and chappy. if you want i can share
