Topic: Taking out the Dark Angels

[Crazy_Canuck]

Do any of you guys have godd experience against the Dark Angels? Cause my brother plays it and I play him once in a while and I could use some sweet ass tactics that could take him out the next time I play him. The last time I just pinned him for two turns and I just kept shooting at him then went into CC and killed him. But if there is something I could get from you guys that would be awesome

If you could give us an idea as to what he plays and what you play it would be helpful.

Ya sorry that would have been helpful. I have:

Archon (Punisher)
7 Incubi (Blaster, Shredder, Incubi Master)
Drazhar
Urien Rakarth
6 Grotesques (Usually uber grotesques)
2 raiders (1 disintegrator) +2 raider squads (Blasters, SC)
2 Warrior squads (Dark Lances, SC)
2 Wych Squads (shredders, agonizers, 2 succubus)
1 Scourge squad (Dark lances, SC)
1 Talos
2 Reaver Jetbike squads (Blasters, Shredders, Succubus)

My bros Dark Angels army:
Azariel
Ezekiel
1 Librarian
2 veteran marines
20 space marines (Flame, rocket launcher, veteran sergants)
predator
land speeder
rhino
Dreadnought
6 Deathwing Terminators
1 Scout squad

The last time I played my bro it was just to see who's HQ could beat each other.

Use one of the major advantages given to the Dark Kin.

Speed! Speed kills. Use your speed to isolate his units and destroy him piecemeal. Splinter Cannons can soften him up, possibly causing him to stand his ground, rather than assault. So, run circles around him and take him to town.

Might I suggest you invest in some slave snares in order to take captives? Otherwise you will never win a slave rai against one of the accursed Sons of the Lion.

Ok slave snares and lots of speed got it!
What do you guys feel about Grotesques and Warpbeasts? Do any of you DE players use them and do you like them? Cause I've been thinking of getting another squad of grotesques but I always think twice about it because i cant move them unless they pass a Ld test.

i dont think that this dark angels list stands a chnace but anyways, u might want to consider adding a ravager or two! lotta disintegrators makes lotta dead marines!

another thing i thought of is,... why would u want to move your grots? i would use them as shields for the snipersquads!

u already got incubis and two units of wyches, there really is no need to get into cc with your grots! ... and a talos, too!!!

anyways my brother also plays dark angels and his army gives me the creeps!
i try to get rid of his shooty stuff first, because he can outshoot me anytime!
so, as for u: pop his tanks first (and the land speeder and dread) after that theres not much left, to be afraid of, especially in your brothers case! with your list u simply eat his troops in close combat once his tanks r dead!

but be careful, these marines can carry alot of crazy heavy weapons around...
