I did very well at Adepticon's 400 point Combat Patrol event with:

Ravenwing Strike Force
Chaplain on bike
4x Black Knights (grenade launcher)
3x Black Knights (no launcher)

At 500 points you could just play three units of three Black Knights and maybe upgrade your Chaplain.

Ravenwing Sargents don't have two weapons so they don't have enough attacks to justify power weapons. You could give a chaplain a power fist tho. But Black Knights are all you need to shred anything you're likely to see at 500 points.

Keep in mind: If you're playing an elite army in tiny games, usually you're not playing the objectives. You're playing to table your opponent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690507/8648709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690507/8648709.page GMT [500] - Dark Angels - Sammael's hommies, do you see this as competitive for a small campaign?

As above: unfortunately putting 200 of 500 points into any one model is not a good play (unless it's a riptide!)

I agree as well you don't want to drop a lot of points in a small game, trust me I learn that lesson....unless its a Knight in the king of the hill game lol. But like axisofentropy wrote go Black Knights or if you can Ravenwing strike force (I think you can do it for 500 points). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690507/8653467.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690507/8653467.page GMT
