Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Codex: Dark Angels

Product Information

The Dark Angels Combat Patrol boxjoinsthe Death Guard, Blood Angels, Deathwatch and Space Wolves in GW’s new range of ‘starter’ products, aimed both at new players keen to start a collection, and existing collectorslooking to bolster their ranks at a discount price. Something to keep in mind here when we start to talk about Dark Angels, is it’s just a type of way to play Space Marines. The faction rule is still going to be Oath of Moment, as shown on Warcom where we get to choose a unit to reroll all hits and wounds against for the battle round. Battle for Sularian Gate — Last major engagement of the Battle for Honoria. Librarian Ezekiel defeats Warboss Groblonik in a duel and kills him, shattering his Waaagh!. [2d] After powering through the HQ units, we arrive at the true stars of the Inner Circle. If you are looking to play Dark Angels competitively, these are the guys who will carry you through some of your hardest matchups. Coming in at 33 points a model, you get five T4, 3W, 2+/5++ guys who can never be wounded on better than a 4+ and benefit from Armour of Contempt. They are also CORE so they can benefit from an ocean of buffs, and to top it all off if you drop them in a Vanguard Detachment they can get Objective Secured.

If every unit in your army is Dark Angels, and you have a Vanguard Detachment with only DEATHWING and/or INNER CIRCLE units in it, those units gain the 1st Company ability. This gives Deathwing Terminator Squads, Terminator Squads, Terminator Assault Squads, and Relic Terminator Squads in this detachment the Objective Secured rule and makes it so if your WARLORD is in the Detachment, the Detachment’s Command benefits are changed to “+3 Command Points.” This is a set of 20 6-sided 16mm dice, in a variety of colours that represent the Dark Angels. Designed with square edges, with the pips perfectly flush with the surfaces, each features a skull in place of the 1 and a Dark Angels icon in the place of the 6: Each Index also needs the full Space Marines faction Index to operate, as they all benefit from the Oaths of Moment army rule and can deploy most of the same core troops and vehicles. Each Chapter also includes a unique Detachment, granting a characterful rule plus bespoke Enhancements and Stratagems to spruce up your Space Marine army. Lastly, I could say a thousand more words on Deathwing Knights than what was covered above, but simply put they’re one of the best datasheets in the game and are well worth your time. Add a Captain in Terminator Armour with Adept of the Codex to keep them in Tactical Doctrine when they don’t need to go supersonic, and consider an Ancient in Terminator Armour to bump up their low OC, and go to town.Date Unknown, Late M41: Battle for Honoria — The Dark Angels and their Imperial Guard allies battle Waaagh! Groblonik. Overall the Dark Angels have a wealth of options that they add to a fairly generic Gladius Task Force through their units. How to Score Points with Dark Angels From the grim darkness of the far future to one of the deepest, darkest places of the Mortal Realms – more specifically, Direchasm… Oath is hard to use for a multi-phased army: Make no mistake, as much as there are many viable combat options present for Dark Angels, this is still 10th Edition. You are going to run shooting elements of some (and often many) stripe. What that is depends a little bit on what you’re trying to build to beat, but Aggressors, Desolation Marines, and Inceptors (as well as some more exotic fare) all show up regularly in well performing Dark Angels lists. Oath of Moment is a resource, not an army wide buff. It’s on you as the player using it to figure out if you need to save it for your melee, or if you can pump up your shooting phase to full effect. In the earlier stages of the game where you’re not charging this is a lot easier, but knowing the breakpoints where you need it to make a crucial combat happen and where you can skip it will improve your performance significantly. Must Have Dark Angels Units

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. Inquisitor [4 PL, 65pts]: Chainsword, Frag & Krak grenades, Hereticus – Scourging, Inferno pistol, Ordo HereticusDark Angels are among the strongest chapters of space marines competitively, and while they aren’t a top-tier army, they frequently put up top 4 results at GT-sized 40k events. You can find more about their performance on 40kstats. Aversion (Malediction) – WC 6 – Select one enemy unit within 24″ of this PSYKER.
