New Player Help :: Dark Angels - The Eskaton Imperative - 3,500pts


Recommended Posts

Hello All, 

 

I have no idea what I'm doing -- Luckily, New Recruit is incredibly helpful. 

I want to make a 3.5k list that isnt just infinite Knights Cenobium.
Would this be a fun list to play against? 

 

I'll take all feedback you think might help make something to this effect work! 

My idea is to wreck the field, slow push, bikes draw fire, and then use the Storm Eagle to drop Marduk + Interemptors (Troops) into back line, Deathstorm Drop Pod to hopefully pin any remaining in deployment zone.

I might be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but I think the army is illegal. Doesn't everything have to be Dreadwing in that Rite of War?

 

Otherwise, I see a few potential hiccups (from a guy who has played three games of this edition, so take with salt):

  • No Line units means you might not be able to score in missions where that matters
  • The Malcador just isn't great. I wish it was.
  • Dreadnoughts have no benefit from two chainfists. Take a chainfist and gravis fist for the same benefit plus options.
