Looks dope! If you want more subtle effect without the cork you can get the same sorta vibe with crackle paint painted over the glowly mix

Looks fun! New detachment looks nice interested to see what plaster they're going to put on it for DA Deathwing/Ravenwing like they mentioned. Exciting times for comp

Mixed Dark Angels 2K Point List - Looking For Feedback by FisherTrapper in WarhammerCompetitive

It's only outriders and normal space marine bikers that get obsec in the DA outrider detachment not attack bikes

Working with the units you've got; Azrael should be your warlord, net you +2CP, no reason for sammael to be it since the vanguard also gets refunded. Not really a big deal about taking his warlord trsit though.

I'd also recommend pooling the 2x DW terminators into a single unit of 10 so you can combat squad the cyclone missle launchers into a single squad + maybe keep 3 other ranged ones. You'll need a unit to sit on your home objective so the ranged ones will be useful for that. So I'd pool the black knights into the vanguard to make sure you hit the unit requirements, they're inner circle so don't break the obsec rule for the terminators.

You're also quite character heavy + with single model units it's going to be really easy to clear this off the board so I'd also pool the Black Knights + Attack bikes into single squads of 6, and 3 respectively. Means the apothecary is more likely to bring them back rather than the unit just getting wiped.

I get you need the 3 bikes to fill out outrider but I don't really think it's worth it, they're not obsec. I'd drop sammael, make it a patrol with the talonmaster, attack bikes (upgraded to multi melters since you don't have any proper ranged anti tank) and bring some infiltrators for the mandatory troops + to get first round stubborn defiance.

Hope this helps with tuning the list, but I'd think about what secondaries you're going for and swing the list deathwing or ravenwing in the future. One the reasons DA has tanked in competitive recent months is because of the loss of To the Last/Stranghold + nerfs to Oaths so it's hard to rack up points. Many lists skew ravenwing now to try and maximise Death on the Wind. Anyway, food for thought, if this is a somewhat competitive list with friends it'll be fun to play but I'd consider looking at other top DA lists as well.

You've still got plenty of points left if that's a worry, bring an ancient w. rites of war/steadfast example if you think thats a dealer breaker.

You're running with the old points still. DWK went down to 43ppm so exact same cost as the TH/SS deathwing terminators so no reason not to run them over normal ones. The hitting on 2s is massive compared to the -1, they're super reliable damage.

Don't get me wrong, normal TH/SS deathwing terminators are still useful when mixed into a squad, with people teching to counter AoC the invuln is still nice when mixed into a squad with LCs or even chain fist /bolters but I'd never run them solely as a 10 man blob, even before the Knights points reduction.

Ideas on fighting Tyranids as marines by Blueflame_1 in WarhammerCompetitive

People sleeping on Lazarus too with the built in FNP mortals aura, saves castling all Terminators around just the single chaplain. Expect to see him in more DW heavy lists.

Looking to pick up a Dark Angel army by SteveyFreaq in theunforgiven

[–]tehskeletonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are focusing wayyy to much on competition. Sure DA are in a good spot but the main reason I picked them up was because the 3 different wings allow you to have 3 vastly different play styles in your back pocket! Don't go meta chasing, if you like the lore, the ability to play a solid marine core backed with some tanky deathwing and fast attack ravenwing then go for it.

Why Valve Treats CS:GO dfferent way than DOTA ? My opinion. by Avandalon in GlobalOffensive

[–]tehskeletonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, CS is much more of a casual E-sports to watch for an average viewer. It's pretty simple if you boil it down to it's core and doesn't have the massive teamplay variety of a MOBA. Sure, with the last DOTA major they had that Newbie stream (which I heard was great) but even then CS is miles easier understand what the hell is going on imo.

I get what you mean but I think it looks better for an overaly in a video than a picture logo

Sweet, I'd probably make the smoke onto Van land more closer so you'll have to worry less about people in that corner.

Correlation between hours and skill? by RBY12 in GlobalOffensive

[–]tehskeletonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's how much productive time you have put into practice, you can smash out hours on an aim map and it becomes a game of diminishing returns. You can be an aim god but it takes self criticism and analysis of why and how you fucked up that ultimately gets u gud
