Bounding Dark Angels Assault Marine




Berkeley Springs, West Virginia

Hey everyone. Looking at going to a new comers event and taking my Dark Angels, seeing as I have most of it done already.

Here are the rules that the event will be going by:
Spoiler:
1250pts

Army Build Special Rules:
- 2 source maximum
- No super heavies except 1 Imperial Knight Titan (traitor or normal)
- No Gargantuan Monstrous Creature



Table size?
4x6
What are the missions?
OBJECTIVE PLACEMENT:
Place 4 Maelstrom Objectives in the
center of each table quarter and
number them 1-4.
Players place one Emperor’s Will
Objective in their deployment zone.
All objectives must be at least 3
inches from any table edge and/or
any other objective.

Primary Objective: Maelstrom of War
At the start of each player turn the player will roll two d6 to select two
different Tactical Objectives from the chart below. Completing a Maelstrom task earns 1 Objective Point. Objective
points are scored at the END of each player turn. The player with the most Objective Points at the end of the game
will be awarded 18 Battle Points, 9 if tied.
1 – Control Maelstrom Objective 1 OR Destroy a building, vehicle, or monstrous creature.
2 – Control Maelstrom Objective 2 OR Destroy one of your opponent’s non-Independent Character Units
3 – Control Maelstrom Objective 3 OR Destroy one of your opponent’s Independent Characters
4 – Control Maelstrom Objective 4 OR Issue a Challenge
5 – Control Your Emperor’s Will Objective OR Have a unit in your opponent’s Deployment Zone
6 – Control Your Opponent’s Emperor’s Will Objective OR Control the center of the table by having a unit within 3” of that point.

Secondary Objective: The Imperial Creed: Kill Points.
The player with the most kill points at the end of the game is awarded 8 Battle Points, 4 if tied.

Tertiary Objective: Join the Fray
Have no units in your deployment zone. If both players have no units in their own deployment zone the result is a
tie. 4 Battle Points for a win. 2 Battle Points for a tie.

Bonus Objectives:
First Blood (p133), Slay the Warlord (p133), Line breaker (p133).


Seeing as this is a obj base event I was thinking that the :Lions Blade would be the way to go. I am still relatively new..ish to the game so this list could just be terrible and just look good in my head. On the plus side I will be buying all the models for this list except for ( 20 Tacs, 1 Razor Back, The HQs, and 1 Assault squad.) So if this list is garbage I can always scrap it and go a whole other way. Here is the List that I was thinking about running, please throw some feedback out there. Thanks everyone!

I recommend using Assault Cannons on your Razorbacks - they're the same price as Lascannons and are an effective TAC option, as well as being decent against fliers. Your grav should be enough to damage vehicles, but even if there is sn armor heavy list, get your squads in cover and camp objectives.

Welcome to 40k and Dark Angels! This list is already decent.

It looks like you have two Drop Pods? Try to deploy an odd number so the majority arrive turn 1.

Try to line up transports with engagement ranges. Short-range weapons like melta-guns should ride in Drop Pods. Squads riding in tanks should have grav-cannons or plasma guns. Also consider combi-weapons for sergeants if you have points leftover.

Most Battle Company players give Devastator Squads two or one grav-cannons and roll them around in a Rhino. It offers a lot of mobility and protection, and grav-cannons are one of the best Infantry weapons in the game. You should even consider equipping Tactical Squads with grav-cannons in Rhinos as well.

Also you can find some inspiration from Brandon Grant's BAO-winning Lion's Blade. Note how lean most of the Battle Company units are.

@ Retrogamer I was feeling that Assault cannons could be helpful. Do you think that I should do a mix of Las cannon and Assault cannons? Or do you think it would be better to just outright switch them all to Assault Cannons?

@ Axisofentropy I wanted to run another Pod to put one of the assault squads in, Just don't have the third pod. Saddly to get my army up to what this list needs I will already be spending over 400$ so the 3rd pod will need to wait for now.

I do really like that list. Do you think that the assault squads would be better in the pods than the Dev Squads? if that's the case I can drop the jump packs off the squads and the Chaplain freeing up more points for other stuff.

I still cant get over how sexy that BAO list is.

Thinking about ditching some of my raven wing bikes for another set of black knights.

To many unpainted models to count.

I run a huge Lion's Blade with ten AC Razorbacks and they always perform well for me. The Rending is not to be underestimated, especially against fliers and vehicles, and huge volume of fire, usually wounding on 2s can really rip through MEQs and anything with a 4 armor save

Black Knights are by far the best unit in the Dark Angel codex.
