Even Ravenwing Talonmasters in their specialised Land Speeders might want to give something a cheeky poke once in a while, so it’s a good job the Heavenfall blade can be taken by them, even though this unit is classed as a vehicle. With plenty of Wounds on hand to soak up damage, equipping the Talonmaster with an upgraded power sword makes it a fearsome close combat Character indeed. No Inner Circle/Jink– Takeing a Dark Angels successor with anything but the Inheritors of the Primarch successor trait means losing access to the Inner Circle and Jink rules. If you’re going heavy on Deathwing this can be a major loss, but it’s potentially less an issue for Ravenwing, especially post-Armour of Contempt. I tend to take very heavy Ravenwing-focused lists, and not having the 4++ invulnerable save via Jink, and not being able to take full advantage of Speed of the Raven is an issue from time to time. While many Psykers are content to use their mind-altering powers to merely shake the morale of their opponents, the master mental manipulators of the Dark Angels are able to shape their enemies’ fears into far more debilitating forms.

Ravenwing Attack Squadron

The value of Talonmasters has waned in Nephilim as changes to Look Out, Sir have made it much more difficult to protect them and at the same time losing the To the Last Secondary puts a further nail in the coffin, though part of the value was how these worked together. Armour of Contempt is another issue as they don’t have great AP. Generally speaking however, these guys go in every Ravenwing list. If the result of the Psychic test was equal to or greater than that unit’s Leadership characteristic, that unit cannot perform actions (if that unit is currently performing an action, it immediately fails).

Belial is the master of the Deathwing and has some solid rules to show that off. Along with the normal buffs provided by the Inner Circle, he has the space marine captain aura, giving re-rolls of 1s to hit for CORE units within 6″, plus he acts as a Chapter Master for Deathwing Core units. This basically gives you a 140-point Deathwing Specialist option for those of you who love running the boys in white. So we’ve run through every unit and rule in the book, let’s talk about playing this faction. The strength of Dark Angels – and what makes them one of the stronger marine factions – is in their unique units and the abilities around those units, as well as their unique secondary objectives, which makes it much easier for them to score VP in games. Because of their Chapter Tactic, Dark Angels armies tend to favor shooting a bit more over charging (though they’re perfectly capable of going on the offensive), and instead punish an opponent for crashing into their ranks. Building Lists None fight with more grim determination than the battle-brothers of the Dark Angels, and their renowned specialised companies – the Deathwing and the Ravenwing – are held in awe by their allies and enemies alike. Working in concert, the formations of the Dark Angels are devastating in battle. Yet behind their devotion to the Imperium lies a shadowy obsession. Haunted by their past, the Dark Angels and their successors – known collectively as the Unforgiven – wage a secret war for redemption, a millennia-long crusade of vengeance that will either lead to their final atonement… or eternal damnation.

On the vehicles, there isn’t quite as much reason to do it. The area you get the most value here is on a Plasma Redemptor, the unit that most had the outside chance of making a competitive list among the non-Deathwing units. Having the DEATHWING keyword means the Dreadnought can benefit from the Implacable Super Doctrine, giving it re-rolls to wound in melee against Characters or enemy units with 8+ wounds. It can also benefit from Belial’s Deathwing-exclusive chapter master re-rolls ability. Otherwise, that’s it, and if you didn’t think that was worth it well, you’re probably not wrong. These rules don’t see a ton of use, but a Deathwing Redemptor or two as support for a large group of terminators isn’t out of the question.

If you’ve been after full-on Primaris melee specialists, this is the unit for you – they’re tough as adamantium nails and will reliably carve a bloody path through anything in front of them. Welcome to the mysterious, gloomy land of the Dark Angels, one of the most enigmatic and complex factions in the renowned Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players are drawn to the mysterious, labyrinthine depths of The Dark Angels by their seductive blend of might and mystery, from the depths of their ancient mythology to the tactical complexity of their tabletop prowess. The same applies to smaller (or bigger and fragile, damn blast) units targetted by Desolation Marines, Aggressors or your vehicles of choice. Gladiator Lancers bring their own Re-rolls, as do Inceptors through Twin-Linked. Always be thinking about if you need Oath here or if you can have something smaller punch up a weight class. The Crypteks of the Necrons specialise in many different disciplines of hypertechnological arts. Psychomancers use their knowledge to overload and confound their foes with mental onslaughts, so if you’re looking to mess with your opponent’s gaming mojo, make sure you add one to your collection. psychic power cards - 6 from the Interromancy discipline found in Codex: Dark Angels, along with SmiteGrand Tourmament 2020/ 2021/ War Zone Nachmund/ War Zone Nephilim/ Arks of Omen • Munitorum Field Manual/ 2021/ 2022 • Tactical Deployment No, I think what we see here are DA Chapter specific push-fit models — possibly those that will be used in the 6th Edition 40K starter set.
