I'm looking to start Dark Angels and here is my list so far. I'd stick the chaplain with the dev squad in order to tank wounds. I was thinking about dropping the rhinos all together in favour of drop pods and making it a null deploy list but I wouldn't know where to put the extra points. I was thinking a couple multi meltas in the dev squad?

The biggest problem here is that the deathwing redemption force is illegal. It requires two regular terminator squads and can take one optional command squad.

Also, you cannot have 2 Deathwing Apothecaries in the same army, although you could in theory have more than one DW Command Squad (but, as mentioned above, not in the Redemption Force).

If you haven't bought the Deathwing yet, know that they're not very competitive (tho they look awesome). A full Battle Company with free vehicles is very competitive, as are Ravenwing.

I agree. I love the Deathwing stuff and have the models for fun games if I'm just messing around but at tournaments I usually go with a double-demi Lion's Blade stocked full of Grav and Melta.

The deathwing detachment is supposed to be the Strike Force which has been edited. So with that in mind the deathwing detachment should be legal. Yeah I should've mentioned in the OP this isn't built for tournaments but if I was to attend one I would definitely be using the lions blade instead of deathwing. I'm using this slightly less casual games hence the heavy amount of grav weapons instead of a mix and match affair.
