Dark Angels Army

[fase1doughnut]

I'm pretty new to 40k and want to start a Dark Angels army. I have the Dark Vengance box set and the Dark Tallon but was wondering what else I should get so I have a competitive army.

Uh, deathwing maybe......

 

In all seriousness, my time on the Rock has taught me that the dark Angels are a very flexible army.

 

You want codex: take tacticals, devastators, assault squads, and fill out from there.

 

You want compact and hard hitting: Belial

deathwing knights, deathwing termies, and deathwing land raiders.

 

You want fast and flexible: go all raven wing.......don't forget your fliers

 

also, don't. Be afraid to branch out. Try some of the successor guys there are some great painting opportunities on the rock.

As already stated, the Dark Angels are a highly flexible army, if you want codex, as furioso-prime has stated, go with your tacs, devs and assaults and move on. If you want a (pun intended) Rock hitting power, go deathwing, knights and the stuff there terminators do. Or, if you want, you could combine the ravenwing, deathwing and codex to make a highly functioning army. Do what you would like to see on the table crushing the foes of the Emperor!
