I’ve been collecting DA for a while now, so I have several more models including Tactical Squads, Devastators, Terminators, Deathwing Knights, Land Speeders, Sammael on Sableclaw, Belial, Veteran Squads, can change the Land Speeder Vengeance into a Darkshroud, the Dark Talon into a Nephilim Jetfighter, and more. So, any suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.

I think it’s pretty cool. I am just coming back to the game after being out for a long time so I may not have the best advice. I think you should get the dark shroud in. Seems to be an autonincluse piece. The +1 to hit buff is real nice. Depending on how many points you free up I think the second thing I would try to include is sammael on sableclaw. I would limit my troop selection to 3 choices. Scouts ideally but intercessors with 2 wounds a piece are nice. Hope this helps a little

go with a single big squad of hellblasters to take full advantage of WoTDA. Get an ancient as well. Azzy, HBs, LT and Ancient huddle together and buff the HBs.

Redemptors are interesting. Never ran them in DA same with the Repulsor.

IMHO DA have better options then those 2 units. Dark Knights, Talon Masters, Sammy, Plasma Inceptors, dark shrouds and flyers synergize better for DA

Pardon my ignorance, but what does WoTDA stand for?

Thanks

Weapons of the Dark Age. It's one of the best DA strats check it out

But if you're running as many Hellblasters as you can (say four or more groups of them), that requires a Spearhead Detachment which only gives you 1CP.

Looks like a solid primaris list. I second the comment about the hellblaster, make one squad of 10 to make better use of the stratagem.

Personally when I hear DA, I think of the knights and shroud, supported by ancient. Just overload on plasma bikes and charge turn one, scary stuff lol.

Repulsors are cool, but they are huge bullet magnets. Rest assured that will be one of primary targets in your opponents shooting phase. If You take it, keep it in cover turn 1.

Wouldn't that kind of model (even at high point cost) be very useful in a Glass Cannon Alpha Strike army like Dark Angels are right now?

DA aren't as Glass Cannon as you think. They actually have built in things that make them pretty durable. Jink on Bikes and skimmers, Azzy and his 4++ buff.

The unit that will most likely die first to shooting with be the Repulser.
