Greyhunter77 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A new player has come to my regular gaming club and challenged my Woves to battle. It was a challenge I couldn't refuse as he's a Dark Angels player. I last fought the El'Johnsons traitors over 15 years ago so I'm calling upon my brothers for assistance. I know he has some Ravenwing and Deathwing, but no-one at the club has ever seen him play so I don't know what to expect. Does anyone have any more recent experience of fighting the Dark Angels?

Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 i dont know exact things to excpect, but my friend plays Dark angels and we always have our champions duel before each game, it is a time honoured tradition!

MalachiOfRuss Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A new player has come to my regular gaming club and challenged my Woves to battle.

I know he has some Ravenwing and Deathwing, but no-one at the club has ever seen him play so I don't know what to expect. Does anyone have any more recent experience of fighting the Dark Angels? I only know of 1 thing to be aware of: Deathwing Assault combined with Raven Wing Scout/Infiltration. All the Raven Wing units can Infiltrate and Scout move, and all of them have Teleportation Homers. So with RW you can Infiltrate far into the field, do a Scout move, then tp in Deathwing on Turn 1, potentially getting DW very close to you right off the start. However, a Chooser of the Slain well position will nullify most of that tactic. Beyond that I haven't found DA terribly impressive. They're suffering a lot under "old codex syndrome" I think.

Aeddon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 What do you have to bring? Asking for tactical advice is difficult without knowing what you're working with.

Jonny Wolf Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Remember to put out your chooser of the slain marker (if you have one) to deny his infiltrators getting too close. But apart from that...they're pansies in dresses that burn incense and chant to themselves. I would ensure all your models have a chainsword in one hand and a tankard in the other. Try not to fall asleep as you own him... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193451-calling-on-my-brothers-help/#findComment-2298237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Only thing to worry about is his speed if he goes pure ravenwing och doublewing. A friend of mine plays doublewing and my problem against him has always been that he is in my face turn 1 with lots of bike squads. Plasmas is your friend, and well as MLs to take down both bikes and speeders (and plasma for termies). If he gets first turn be prepared to lose your rhinos right away :D Scouts move + normal move is usually enough to get into good melta range. You own him in CC tough.

Ullr Direfang Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thats way over 1500pts!!! he was just listing what he has.... i would propbably take the dred, pred, and long fangs. other then that i would stay away from special characters, personally i don't think they are worth it. and fill you list in as you see fit, plase would probably be helpful against most things he would throw your way.
