As a dark angels player I personally like to go for the theme if it has plasma it’s probably in the army, a lot of terminators and knightly units like blade guard

My First Born Dark Angels are built around plasma. Literally every unit that can have plasma does! Tactical squads with a plasma cannon, plasma gun and sergeant with plasma pistol. Dreadnought? Yeah, that’s got a plasma cannon. Company vets (obviously no longer usable) all with combi plasma guns. Even the Devasator squad has four plasma cannons and a sergeant with a combi plasma! This build goes back to the one and only time DA were actually good with the Weapons from the Dark Age strat.

Excited for the White Scars refresh so I can start my Ravenwing 😅

I started in 9th - and could see the writing on the wall for firstborn - so just focused on primaris greenwing. Have a 2k force of those so far. Now with the new Deathwing releases - I'm happily working on those. I'm guessing 11th ed will come with a Ravenwing refresh - so will likely start on those then (perhaps starting with some primaris stuff beforehand - storm speeders, ATV's etc.). It's all worked out rather well!

Just started a DA army this year and have built up the Deathwing and was able to get one of the older combat patrols as well!

I got lucky and got the last old combat patrol at my local Warhammer store. I guess I had perfect timing.

For the Lion!

Man, excellent video. Just what I was looking for. Will be referring back to this one on my DA army journey. Thanks for all videos you put out, has really helped me get my head around the nuts and bolts of the hobby.

Step 1. Throw away your beloved Talonmaster, Ravenwing Landspeeders and Deathwing Command Squads. Step 2. Take a deep breath.

I've been waiting for this video! Between you and Brushstroke Painting my DA are gonna be looking clean and mean, FOR THE LION!

I am going for a 2,000 point Inner Circle List. The DeathWing Assault box models, another squad of Terminators, a Land Raider Proteus(Land Raider Proxy), Land Raider Redeemer, six Blade Guard with a Lieutenant with Storm Shield, and a StormRaven. I know it may be a small list, but everything has three plus wounds. The Gunship just because I think it looks cool, probably one of my favorite models right now.

StormRavens are excellent this edition, they're great transports. Though, I'd recommend maybe dropping the extra termie squad for a Venerable Dreadnought. Excellent melee, good enough ranged weaponry, and cheap enough that it can take the squad's place. Plus, Storm Ravens can transport Dreadnoughts _alongside_ any units within (and with a transport capacity of 12, you're gonna be putting a LOT of guys in there)

I really enjoy this channel, also. I am also starting Dark Angels in 10th. They were my army way back in 2nd edition, but I've been playing Ultramarines since 98 or so. I will be honest, I'll probably paint them up as a custom chapter so I can swap in units and play them as generic adeptus astartes. Its probably just my fear of rules changes, but I really like the idea of having the option to play the Lion and his round table guys or Robert and his community planning brigade. Either way, I enjoy the channel, keep up the good work!!

Im new to dark angels and war hammer 40k as a whole so this was a big help thank you 🙂🙂🙂

Such a sneaky way to preview the points changes. We now know the points for Inner Circle Companions and Ravenwing Command Squads, as well as a smattering of others because those points are not from the current codex or the current Munitorium Field Manual

The Ravenwing army is close to what my friends and I have been discussing, other than the flyers. Chaplains on bikes are neat, if only for giving the unit dev wounds, and +1 to wound. We just want to see the points costs before we commit

i started with dark angels as my First army this year and i am really happy so far. awesome models and lore. the deathwing assault box and the old combat patrol let me put a good army on the field in no time. azrael is a no brainer so are hellblasters if you ask me

I got the old combat patrol at Christmas was going to get blood angels but decides to wait glad i did.

The dark Angel death wing knights could be painted to look like epic Black Templar terminators . You could do that too . I would do the swap myself as a DA and Custodes player .

It’s odd to me that the Dark Angels have no unique green wing models. Weirdly enough the majority of their unique models seem to be ravenwing. The chapter is supposed to have lots of plasma, and melee. Kind of wish we got some “normal space marine”models to reflect that. Could give them more of a DA flair as well with hoods and robes.

The only reason I, who have literally the exact same set of minis, aren't getting the combat patrol is because of the ten intercessors.

But I also really want the inner circle companions.

Not confirmed yet, but they aren't in the combat patrol magazine, so it's more than likely

Note for everyone who wants to buy Hellblasters to start a DA army: Don't. They *SUCK* to build. Each leg and torso piece could fit each other except for minor differences that not even the instruction booklet is 100% consistent with. And worse is the plasma gun assembly, it's so fiddly (the cabled variant is especially egregious).

It's just too expensive at this point, me and my 40k friends have grown up pretty well off but even we're starting to see it as unaffordable, how can they justify these prices?

GW not adding the generic marine stuff to the DA codex is a crime against decency. Rules should be free online in the first place, but at the very least, they should all be in their codex...

“REPEEEEENT!!!”

8:58 The Subreddit is NOT r/DarkAngels!!! You're looking for r/TheUnforgiven. Well you might be looking for both, but if you want the first Legion of Space Marines you're looking for the latter.

DA was the original 'that the legion I want' when I first got into 40k as a teen. Had a few kits and the Dark vengance box, was never really in a place to collect an army until the tail end of 8th, Ended up going Chaos/ xenos, and collecting basically everything that wasn't space marines because I was and still am Extremely salty about the Primaris lore and god damn havoc its wrought on the wrangle as a whole. With Firstborn/primaris agnostic Terminators/Sternguard in 10th, Figured id lean back in a bit, decided to go ahead and make that child-hood dream army with the deathwing box and some 3d prints of etsy. This was anther reminder how irritated I am by the primaris bullshit though, We are never gonna get a discount box with a land raider or a rhino in it again. Every Start collecting/combat patrol for marines will be forever poisoned with the same damn 5 repeating intercessors. Drop pod devastators with grav guns or plasma cannons will need to be hunted down for true scale prints to look right next hellblasters and tac squads will never again be relevant and probably end up getting phased out in an edition or two. It didn't have to be this way, they could have just updated the kit, the didnt need to molest the lore and now its going to take a hard reset that will inviatbly piss off half the fan-base to get things back on track.

'Promo SM'

How about the real Loyalists ? @Auspex Tactics, how about planning a Fallen army ? DA never speak of them yet are always chasing them. GW have made them integral to the DA backstory but the DA Codex and the CSM Codex ignore them bar a paragraph or two. The loyal Brethren need to be able to respond to Azrael's lies. Luthor held Caliban while Jonson went seeking personal glory. Yet he is called the traitor. There's many lore arguments as to whether Fallen even get access to Primaris. So what minis do we get ? First Born are on their way out and HH minis aren't recognised in 40K. The only Fallen applicable box is the SM DA Veteran box. Fallen is covered so badly, they're tabled to be played as anything a player wants, from regular SM to absolutely any chapter of CSM. We need conformity. We need an army. We need revenge !
