Hi fellow hobbyists. I'm more of a painter than a 40k player still and I have never played with SM yet.
I'm preparing for a 1000 pts game against Imperial Guard with my new Dark Angels.
I'm working on a list and 1000pts are harder ti figure out than 2000 to me.
Do you have any advice for me or do you see glaring errors?

10 intercessors and an apothecary are a lot but I think that in this way they are able to reliably hold an objective and given the amount of fire force the opponent to make some choices.
I'm afraid I'm too light on anti-tank weapons.
