Take a look around, most people format their list more like this

1 Tactical Squad x 10
- Missile Launcher
- Plasma Gun
- Vet Sergeant with Plasma Pistol/Chainsword

Next, I don't think your list is legal.
For the most part, stick to 2 HQ choices max with at least 2 troops.

Then, with DA, you should basically ignore Greens unless you focus on them with the Banner of Devastation. Otherwise you could play normal SM and have better tools.
This then leads to picking either Deathwing, Ravenwing or a mix of both.
Your list does not only not hold its own, it is pretty bad. But don't fret, thats mostly due to your not yet existing experience.
If you have the DV set, grab it as is and play a few games - you will get more of a feel for what might work with every game you play. Think on your choices and ask yourself: How does this unit follow the strategy that I plan to implement? Do I have adequate tools for handling different threats? Is this unit worth the point costs?

Take a look around the army list forum, there are some good lists, some bad lists and, with some games under your belt, read the critique offered.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508135.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508135.page GMT Help building a Dark Angels list please :-) I was going to go down the whole Deathwing route, buying Belial and then maybe in the future some Land Raiders. But I've been reading round that Deathwing doesn't really do that well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508201.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508201.page GMT Help building a Dark Angels list please :-)

He didnt post an army list he was posting what he has to make a list from........

what make the dark angels special are the DW and RW. Without that they are poorly equiped space marines(with stubborn). You should play to those strengths and sadly DW lists are not as strong as they once were due to the mass of AP2 weapons out there now. If you had landraiders i would say fill them up with terminators and go for it due to your lack of bikes but a list that holds its own against what is currently out there will include IMO 2 squads of bikes(mainly black knights). On the other hand DW may get it handed to them often they are fun to play and when things go right they really go right. Building a list off of that since you have lots of terms would be the way to go. Just make a custom belial from your terminators

Its done well in the first 2 turns but then it all goes wrong as they all start to die. (Especially to centurions, I hate those things). So any ideas on what I can do with that without having to fork out the hundreds of pounds on Land Raiders which is looking pretty inevitable now? :/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508246.page GMT Re:Help building a Dark Angels list please :-) gens or drop pods so let me know what your interested in and i will try to help. other then that to get better find the best players in your area and idly tournament players and ask them to point out your mistakes and talk you through what you do wrong its the best way to improve so good luck ;-).

Quick side note on land riaders my FLGS is selling them at 30% off http://www.4tk.co.uk/store/department/11/Warhammer-40K/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508280.page GMT Help building a Dark Angels list please :-) GW do play 1500.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578020/6508297.page GMT Help building a Dark Angels list please :-)
