Good day folks! I have another Dark Angels army list for consideration. This time it's a Deathwing Vanguard. This is a resurrection of the 8th ed list I was playing beforoe the pandemic lockdowns began. The premise behind that list was basically that I had Land Raiders and I wanted to use them. Plus, there were all kinds of stackable buffs Deathwing could exploit at the time. Loved me a DWK squad with bonus attacks from both the Deathwing Ancient AND Asmodai. Anyway, the core of this list is still the 2 squads of Deathwing (one of Knights, the other of Terminators with THSS or LCs) riding in a LRC and a LR with their supporting characters. The idea is basically the same - run them right up my opponent's nose. Some of the other particulars have changed though. The old list was a Battalion because of how CP worked. This list is not. The old list also featured some Land Speeders for screening the Land Raider, and my Relic Sicaran to give opponents something besides the Land Raiders to shoot at. Plus I was using Scouts as my compulsory Troops and objective minders. This list is simpler. I have a Dreadnought with a plasma cannon to mind a backfield objective, which it ought to do fine unless an opponent gets an obsec unit there. Hopefully 2 LRs full of Deathwing close combat specialists plus a deep striking 10-man Deathwing Terminator Squad will keep them too busy to do so. Those other elements previously mentioned are not in the list because they'd break the Deathwing Vanguard command benefit. +++ NA 2K DW Vanguard (Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition) [108 PL, 10CP, 2,000pts] +++ ++ Vanguard Detachment -3CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Dark Angels) [108 PL, 10CP, 2,000pts] ++ + Configuration [12CP] + **Chapter Selection** . .
