    It’s so nice to see the Dark Angels doing well with lists that aren’t just “use only Azrael, and because we’re using Azrael this has to be a Dark Angels army”. Still wish the Lion was a little better though. His current role is basically distraction carnifex Tywin Lannister edition.

    The last time I took the Lion I felt bad for my opponent.
    We discussed that we wanted to have a semi competitive friendly game and I bought into the whole "he is a points sink and fun, but not optimal ".
    Hooo boy. After he carved out two squads of custodian guards a unit of DWKs rapid ingressed along side him and had the entire custodes line back peddle from their own deployment zone.
    On the last turn I drew storm hostile objective and assasinate. The mad man took out a unit of wardens that were softened up by hellblaster fire and the blade champion leading them.
    He single handedly won me the game by scoring both secondaries on the last turn.
    He is very competative and if he keeps dying on you, you are not using him right.

    I love bringing my inner circles with Ezekiel granting that plus 1 to melee attacks. I also use Unforgiven task force and use unforgiven fury for lethal hits on their sweep profile. And as long as someone is battle shocked in your army you crit on a 5+. So when you combine everything with oath, you end up with. . . 36 attacks, 5+ crits, rerolls to hit, lethals plus sustained 2. Along with their new AP-2. They literally sweep everything off the table. Also for 1 cp you can use intractable to fallback, shoot and charge to ensure your fight first for anything that didn't die. P.s bring a bucket of dice for the wound rolls 😂

      Yeah I can see that from some reading but I’m not sure to what degree to “not get anything that is good now as it could be nerfed”. I know I’m new but I’m unsure “when” is the point at which to decide what to buy? This is a genuine question not a point or rhetorical e.g. after this points update will it be settled for a while?
      The only thing I have gleaned is that the deathwing were a fairly recent update as were primaris so in terms of models going out of date I’ve only really got to be careful of ravenwing units so I might hold off any investing in any of them.

      @@Tristan291990My strategy is to buy well costed boxes and then add anything that I think is super cool or something that would give me a cool combo. That way even if points go up I still got my models for a better than average price and I have models that I think look super cool or interact with one-another in an interesting way. Plus, with the regular changes, your models will probably become good again at some point. I feel that since I’m also a bit newer to the game I look at things more optimistically than older players but that’s still what I think. I hope this helped!

      @@Tristan291990 Historically, GW nerfs the points value of the units performing very well compared to other minis. All it means is DA units like deathwing knights and inner circle companions will cost more in points leaving less points available to round out your army. Doesn't mean you can't still fit them in. At times you want some kind of balance of kill-y units and scoring units.
      On the other hand, also historically GW is known to nerf the cool rules like -1 to damage defense buff to how Tyrannofex (I believe they had the same -1 to damage defense rule early 10th ed.) was nerfed.

      @Tristan291990 2 місяці тому

      To be honest, based off this and other videos and the “assumption” I can get a battle force box set, my intent was to get a box of heavy intercessors, possibly jump intercessors as they seem to be good all rounders. Then get the infiltrators (they seem popular in a lot of lists plus their deny to units deploying near them seems good for objective control). A box of each for my infantry and then an impulsor to move units, an azreal because he seems an auto include (hopefully he doesn’t get a points increase that makes him useless). A judiciar for the inner circle companions and a redemptor dreadnought for some decent firepower.
      The above isn’t intended to be a complete list but hopefully all of the above and the battle force box will be sufficient for somewhere between 60-80% of a 2000 point army and I can get more specific units following the points change.
      Hopefully this isn’t too bad an approach as I need to find a balance of getting some units and waiting for updates to get the more specific units for an optimal or close to army.

    Been having success at my local club with dark angels using Vanguard.
    Judiciar (Blade driven deep)
    Azareal
    6 man squad of ICCs
    3x Deathwing Knights, currently experimenting with loadouts on these, so far bringing 2 maces and 1 sword...but starting to feel maye all swords is the way
    Land Raider Redeemer
    Assault Intercessors (with power fist)
    6 devasator centurions with lascannons and missiles
    Scout squad
    Eversor Assassin
    Kind of meant to just brawl and yes, I do foot slog normally 2 of the deathwing knights up the field while 1 is in deep strike. The ICCs with the judiciar are often playing a game of ether just sitting on an obective the entire game and daring an opponent to come get it (out of line of sight so they got to get close) and redeemer doing redeemer things. It has so far been working out well, using the ability to pull units into strat-reserve is a major boon for any number of units in my army, allowing them to reposition at a moments notice when needed, even if there isn't many options for deeper placements it is still a massive gain for centurions to be able to completely alter their position ether to retreat from a potential charge issue and then realign sight lines for guns. The eversor so far has been a successful fire and forget missile though I do want to try and be more withdrawn with him in future. So far due to a rather funny set of occurences, I have faced tyranids alot recently...and so far he has clapped 3 broodlords and pretty sure each time he has taken a chunk out of the genestealer squad to boot too (his first performance was the broodlord AND 7 genestealers).
    Hopefully they aren't hit by any real changes but we'll find out huh.

ICC however can deal a ton of damage but lack defence in a lot of ways, easy to fold them. However the judiciar giving them fights first means they can easily park up on an objective that has no good LoS from your opponents army and just sit there challenging them to charge but due to fights first, you swing first and incredibly hard too.

So what we will see in the balance dataslate at the end of the month is that DWK's will get a big points increase alongside Azrael without fixing the core issues of the Codex Detachments just not being good enough compared to standard marine ones.

Mostly wounding on 2s to marines - 3s/4s on vehicles - depends on how you use the HQs but getting sustained on a unit of knights and the deep strike phase 1, you can set yourself up to sit on objectives for 2-3 turns and hopefully soak up some dmg. Everything pretty much has a 4+ FNP vs mortals at least once, more with the chaplains. Some base FNP with psychic if needed vs Tsons and grey knights.

    Thoughts on the points changes? They finall got Azrael but he needed a rest from carrying the faction this far through 10th. He's still great for what he brings. DWK is disappointing; I expected an increase but not that much. I think you'll still see them of course, but maybe not as many squads. Suddenly they are interested in getting people using Ravenwing. Meh, I still don't think what's there will result in much use (maybe the command squad). Lion? He's cheap now but a cheap middling Lion isn't what I personally wanted for that character. I'd much rather pay more for him but have him be truly terrifying. But hey, he's a popular character with a nice miniature so I'm sure people will try to make him (and Rob) work as best they can. At least the ICC emerged unscathed.

    I don’t know why we don’t see more in a circle companions with a captain and an apothecary in order to bring back all those fragile models.
    The other option is to take a lieutenant, but he doesn’t do much since they already have lethal hits. I don’t see benefit of the fallback shooting charge unless you’re looking to reactivate for charging.
    I was thinking of other characters you could place in the unit and apothecary with Lazarus came to mind considering he’s only 70 points, but his unit gets to fight on death on a 4+ and then the apothecary will bring back one destroyed model every command phase .
    I’ve been on a 40 K hiatus because of both of my armies either have too many nonviable detachments and I personally don’t like the current play style of my Necrons unless I’m playing the awaken dynasty because it’s the closest play style when it comes to playing old-school Necrons.
    I hate the lack of being able to pick a Dynasty and gaining a small bonus based on what their specialty is such as Mephrit.
    I also hate that the faction keeps getting constant rules changes on top of being one of the top factions when it comes to the amount of units and characters that were sent to legends, especially after I had made two recent forge world purchases.
    I’m still lamenting the loss of three epic heroes , why i it taken GW so long to make changes to the annihilation, legion and restricting the number of C’Tan?
    I’m also wondering why it’s taking them so long to print plastic night bringer and deceiver?
    The other general rule that bothers me is not being able to pick at least from a small list of psychic powers for characters who are able to use psychic powers .
    And I don’t even know where to start with my dark angels, which I’ve had zero motivation to assemble after I had made plans around building a Ravenwing list until they gutted a lot of the units leaving them only Samuel and a chaplain to take as leaders until GW realized they had the improvised And they allowed Ravenwing to keep the Ravenwing command squad, giving the champion the character keyword and making him a leader.
    Still doesn’t solve the problem of having a lack of Ravenwing captains to provide some CP reduction.
    Technically, you can take any space marine unit and put it in the company of hunters and they will gain the detachment bonus, but unfortunately five out of the six require that you target a Ravenwing unit and all 4 enhancements also require the bearer has the Ravenwing keyword.
    Ironically, in the dark angels supplement most of the time gaining the Ravenwing keyword ends up being a restriction, especially when it doesn’t impart any of the space, marine data sheets taken from the vanilla book, such as gaining a 5++ Which all of the unique Ravenwing units in the supplement currently possess, so that means no outriders or storm speeders, even after having lost access to a lot of bikes and land speeders would’ve thought with giving how underpowered outriders have become compared to their ninth edition data sheet, which gave them extra attacks on the charge.
    Also, I’m really nervous about the Ravenwing black nights that are still in their boxes wrapped in plastic because I’m afraid to open them since they are a first unit and are likely to be replaced relatively soon. The only reason they got to stay because so much was stripped from the Ravenwing Range.
    Even the rules for getting certain units the deathwing keyword has been implemented very clunky because they did not consider that certain characters that can gain death wing due to leading a death wing unit, which means they can’t take any of the enhancements since the keyword is given at a later state in the game.
    I think this is a problem for the Indominus captain with the relic shield who used to be considered somewhat of a blade guard, veteran captain because he could not lead a blade guard unit unless he took a shield in the space marine book. The data sheet has the option to take a relish shield but it also , replaces one of his weapons with a power weapon, making him closer towards being a death wing captain compared to all the other generic captains available.
    It’s sad There are so many cool units, but none of the dark angels detachments are close to being as good as the ones in the space, marine vanilla book, especially when we compare using our Ravenwing units in the storm lance attachment mostly because it does not require any Ravenwing keywords, which makes it a much more flexible detachment that a lot of other dark angels units will benefit from the special detachment ability Which is advance and charge.
    The deathwing knights would love having that up the entire battle, especially if you give one of them a death wing captain in terminator armor for the ability to re-roll charges, and since you took a captain, you’re allowed to take other certain characters as the terminator ancient which brings the Deathwing Knight unit up to a total of seven models.
    And my final criticism when it comes to death wing terminators is taking away there ability to mix and match assault terminators with their standard terminator unit.
    All they had to do was maybe change it so that every five models in the unit can pick a pair of lightning clause or a thunder hammer with shield which makes the unit a little more flexible and the sergeant is also given a power weapon.
    It still hurts that they got rid of the death wing command, squad, and speaking of the assault terminators where the heck are they?
    I suppose I could take the new terminators and simply grab the assault weapons from my prior box of deathwing terminators, which contain enough assault weapons that I should be able to field a unit of 10 assault terminators all equipped with a mix of lightning claws and hammersto.
    Their data sheets still exists in the new vanilla space marine book so it’s not like I’m using the legends unit and I might be able to get some mileage out of them depending on which leader assign

    I’m still trying to figure out why the inner circle companions have an icon bearer with no rules… I bet get one point GW head designed a once per game ability or it added some kind of reroll, but then they either forgot or decided to ditch the rule shortly before they were released.
    Some say that the inner circle companions were supposed to be released earlier with the lion, but apparently they weren’t ready so they stuffed in three blade guard veterans which was kind of a slap in the face
