About this deal

Date Unknown: Battle of the Caliban System — The entirety of the Dark Angels chapter battles the combined fleet of Typhus and the Fallen Angel Astelan at the Caliban System to prevent them from bringing the Fallen into the present. [35] If you’re taking the Talonmaster you want to give it the Arbiter’s Gaze relic, which allows the Talonmaster to always hit on 2s – even in Overwatch. The speed of this model allows it to get whatever firing angles it needs, so making use of the relic shouldn’t be a problem. If there’s a downside to the model it’s that they’re pretty mediocre in melee, coming with only a power sword to try and fend off enemies who get too close. In the Outer Circle, terminators are still beloved. I like doing 5-man Squads with two Storm Shield, Thunder hammer terminators, two regular guys, and a Cyclone Missile Launcher. Remember, when we are building OC units, we are looking for every unit to have access to bolters and some sort of weapon that we want to Master Arts. The Cyclone Missile Launcher is perfect for this. The other interesting thing here is you may find yourself building Outer Circle lists without captains, as your entire army already has rerolled on your units. So, running these units very Storm Bolter heavy is not a sad thing either. A single unit of eight storm bolter carriers and two storm shields is one of my more common layouts. Now, this is also a fantastic example of the differences between an OC list and an Inner Circle list. These guys are nowhere near as durable as their Inner Circle brothers, but thanks to storm shields and cover, you can do a bit of a fake imitation. Not only that, but OC armies are more encouraged to run MSU versions of this unit. Five men with no upgrades other than a Sergeant with a Storm Shield and a Cyclone Missile Launcher. Mix this with the Stratagem Deathwing Assault where they get a bonus to wound as they land, and suddenly Storm Bolters in Tac doctrine become very scary. Start a unit on the table, put two in reserves and drop them in on 2 and 3. This is a unit that will really surprise people with what OC can do when it comes to offensive consistency.

This list is not dissimilar to several other builds which also generated top 4 placings; those tended to replace the Assault Terminators with Bladeguard Veterans and a Ravenwing Apothecary over a Deathwing Apothecary, but the general principle is the same. Wim Out’s Mixed Dark Angels In addition to the special rules available to all Space Marine chapters – you can find those rules in Start Competing: Space Marines– the Dark Angels have a larger number of special rules for their chapter, owing to its unique structure and the way the first and second companies operate. Dark Angels get the Angels of Death rule like other space marines, which gives them the following rules: Combat of All Kinds– From shooting to close combat, Dark Angels and their versatility can do it all. From the debilitating defensive stratagems like Line Unbreakable, or the supporting purer damage taken with Weapons of the Dark Age, the army can be effective in every stage of the game.The primary issue here is the cost-benefit analysis for the jet from the Dark Angels’ chapter tactic; unlike the Nephilim, the Dark Talon can hover, so you could conceivably fly it to where you want it to be and, if it survives, have it sit still and start hitting on 2s. The issue here – as with all aircraft and vehicles – is that without CORE the Dark Talon is missing consistency, and brining a Techmarine isn’t a particularly good solution. The mortal wound output is still worth looking at however, particularly in an environment flush with Scarab Occult Terminators, Deathshrouds, and even other Deathwing.

A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. M41 Siege of Vraks — Supreme Grand Master Azrael led nearly half of the chapter during the Siege. The force arrived on board the Battle Barge Angel of Retribution and the Strike Cruisers Sword of Caliban and Salvation and a small number of Escorts.

M37: Battle of Persembe — The 3rd Company under Master Baradiel battles the hordes of the Chaos Lord Potchek on the world of Persembe. [4g] Previously, in the last two 40K editions' starter sets puposely 'generic' non-Chapter Imperial Space Marine models have been used. The reason, quite sensibly, is that it gives the hobbyist more choice when it comes to painting his models. But my guess is that with a Dark Angel Codex in every starter box (as would seem likely) the use of generic models is a bit of a non-issue — as the DA commitment is inherent in the set anyway. The Lion isn’t as good as he looks: For 380 Points, it’s very difficult to justify that much on a model that controls as little space as the Lion does. While in Gladius he can advance and charge, and he will absolutely mow down most things he touches, his low wound count and middling resiliency for his points can often leave him on cleanup duty or struggling to cross the board in the face of armies with guns bristling. Definitely a fun unit and one that’s reasonably viable, but not one to expect to see on top tables any time soon.Until the start of your next Psychic phase, in the Fight phase, that unit is not eligible to fight until all other eligible units from your army have done so. A fantastic spell that can really put the pain on any unit your boys will be rolling up on. Toss this on some Deathwing Knights and what units disappear in front of you. All our units can make wonderful use of this. A

The organisation of the Dark Angels Chapter has been shaped primarily by events in its history, as a result it is different from that of any other. The Chapter is monastic in nature with much time being given over to worship and prayer. There are also many different levels within the Chapter that individuals may gradually rise through. On attaining each level, they find out a little more about the truth behind the Dark Angels' origins. Most Dark Angels themselves know nothing about the beginnings of the Chapter. It is only those at the very top who have learned the whole truth [Needs Citation]. psychic power cards - 6 from the Interromancy discipline found in Codex: Dark Angels, along with SmiteWith Dark Angels general prevalence towards anvil units and Lone Operatives, holding objectives is fairly trivial. Jam some Deathwing Knights or a Land Raider onto the ones closest to your opponent. Hold the sides with Scouts or Infiltrators with a Phobos Librarian. Do the same on your deployment objective, or put some artillery there like Desolation Marines or Whirlwinds/Thunderfire Cannons. Need to take an objective off your opponent? Inceptors are perfectly capable of doing so with their 3″ deep strike, or charge them with the a unit that will remove them with extreme prejudice. However what you’re really taking Azrael for is the Lion’s Helm, the helmet carried by his little goober attendant. This gives him an aura that gives a 4+ invulnerable save to all INFANTRY and BIKER units within 6″. That little Watcher in the Dark also allows him to make a single Deny the Witch attempt per battle, and he can re-roll the result if the caster was a CHAOS PSYKER. That said, he’s still a strong option for your warlord and the re-rolls are great to have. He’s not the auto-include he used to be, but it’s not uncommon to see Azrael leading Deathwing lists. So we’ve run through every unit and rule in the book, let’s talk about playing this faction. The strength of Dark Angels – and what makes them one of the stronger marine factions – is in their unique units and the abilities around those units, as well as their unique secondary objectives, which makes it much easier for them to score VP in games. Because of their Chapter Tactic, Dark Angels armies tend to favor shooting a bit more over charging (though they’re perfectly capable of going on the offensive), and instead punish an opponent for crashing into their ranks. Building Lists Stratagems, the Interromancy psychic discipline, Relics, and optional secondary objectives that define the ways that the Dark Angels wage war If the result of the Psychic test was equal to or greater than that unit’s Leadership characteristic, that unit cannot perform actions (if that unit is currently performing an action, it immediately fails).
