Dark Angels is the army that I started with inside Warhammer 40K. I feel as though I would be doing this faction a diservice if I didn't fully try every aspect of the Dark Angels and its codex. I will be discussing the pro's and con's that I have come across inside the faction of the Dark Angels.

First, I would definitely try to bring up a pro for this Army. The pro is Belial and the Terminators... used correctly are feared by most armies that you play against. Everytime I bring out my terminators I can see a little sadness in my opponent. (Which is awesome ha ha). The ability to deep strike anywhere on the table without scattering using Belial is such a nasty effect, and this usally results in taking their Warlord or stopping his stradegy all together. Also, vengeful strike is another favorit of mine. Because they deep stirked, they strike with a vengeance and all their weapons become twin linked for that round. This creates a nasty affect even with just the storm bolters, STR 5, AP 4, 24" range, Assualt 2. So there is alot of shooting when they firsdt appear, and then obviously we would want to get them in close combat right away weilding either chain fist or power fist.

Now, the huge disadvantage about the same group that was a pro for the Dark Angels. The points are way to high. This is a huge problem across the army. Belial himself cost just as much as a land raider! I really like Belial and his abilities, but once you get done purchasing Belial and two troop choices which can be your terminators, your looking at a good 700 point Army, thats only 11 models! Although termies are strong and no one likes to face them, occasionally your gonna have something nasty come at you, or if you have bad rolls that day well there goes your entire army.

I believe that the Dark Angels have a chance but it relies heavily on the individual who is weilding those Dark Angels. It seems that other armies would havve better chances even with people who didn't know what they were doing. I am going to continue to play with the Dark Angels, and I will write more articles on the things that I finf usefull and things that you don't want to use. My goal as well as that other people would come to this site and ccomment freely on what there armies are doing and that way we can grow in battle. Thank you for reading!
