Twin-linked assault cannon – lascannon and lascannon with TL plasma gun are not cheaper. You said yourselves that the razorback costs 55pts (15 more than in other books) So, when a TL lascannon costs here 20pts it’s not cheaper because the 15 points are already included in the vahicle itself. The only option cheaper is the TL heavy flamer (which still is kinda nice – it’s easier to burn all those heretics, mutants and unclean ones)

Another good vid. Agree with bubbles15 though think you’re being a bit hard on tac squads. Are they as good as a GK strike squad no, but they are 30- 50pts cheaper than one depending on the weapon options. Agree wholeheartedly on the sniper scouts, arguably one of the Best Sm units around, especially considering how cheap even a 10 man unit actually is. 130pts with camo cloaks by my count Bargain Quick Q , ‘You say depends what you put in it’ for how good is a drop pod? What In the DA book would you put in it?… Read more »

Ok this is gunna sound sorta ranty and not sure it should be here but whatever. Do you guys think that the Dark Angels have lost alot of their uniqueness not due to them changing but because other codex’s have basically taken rules from them. For example all terminator armies used to be something that only dark angels could do, now spacewolves and greyknights can aswell. Like wise with the all bikes thing. I fully understand why gw would want to do that (so they can sell more stuff if i’m being too subtle) but i think it has hurt… Read more »

Yes, actually, I do disagree with the whole tactical marine buisness:

1. You have to put these guys in perspective here: 13pts, 3+ AS, T4… That’s pretty damn good. In total these guys end up being 20 pts cheaper than your Vanilla marines, 10 if you want a vet sarge.

2. The ability to take a heavy weapon with 5 guys is HUGE! For 85 points, you have 5 dudes with a plasma cannon/ML. So, for 510 points (which ain’t much), you have 30 scoring marines with 6 Plasma Cannons! Whoop, whoop!

Yeah when you disembark from a vehicle in 6th you do have to take difficult and dangerous tests as normal – page 79.

a lot of those spec and heavy weapons in the tac squad cost a bit more than in the standard marine dex…although the cheaper squad even with the vet sarge might counter this… spec if my understanding that only need 5 men to take those weapons is correct. scouts seem cheaper though and agree sniper scouts are great! but those two units are basically just re-pointed codex marines which is just disappointing to be honest i was hoping greenwing allies would be a cool alternative to my codex marines… plus i really like the dark vengeance tac squad but dont… Read more »

Guys why are you knocking the massive 100% increase in troop choice

Still I think I prefered Scouts in last dex as an elite choice with the better BS

Put the salvo banner into a Land Raider with a dozer blade and the venerable option , put a tech marine with a force field generator inside as well and you are good to go. The vehicle extends the range of the salvo banner and the 4+ invulnerable save. The land raider itself will be very hard to take out. If your opponent does not have any templates, all your Tactical Squads can huddle inside the force field as well. One or two Scout Squads can infiltrate to extend the range of their bolters into the enemy deployment zone first… Read more »

Regarding the twin-linked heavy flamer for a Razorback; since there isn’t actually a model piece for this weapon, I’ve taken to using the BAAL flamestorm cannon as the weapon. As it was pointed out, the weapon is on the back off the Razorback, but this is an effective way to increase the range for the twin-linked heavy flamer. Nothing illegal about it providing it’s the said weapon in your army list and pointed out to your opponent. Every gamer has been okay with it, in my experience. It’s been hard to get them into such close a range, many times.… Read more »

Why does Warren keep touching Darryl all the time now ??

on 6:34, homeboy starts talking about how Chaos Space marines have flavor by fielding Slanesh armys, or Tzenche, Nurgal, Khorn, ETC. and says you can mix and match and that makes them exciting. Then says that this book Dark Angels dosn’t bring any of that. My question is has he even read the book? It has just as much flavor as the Chaos book. Example, You can have a full Terminator army. You can have a full Biker army. You can have a full Greenwing army. OR like he even said with the Chaos Space Marines, you can mix and… Read more »

Great videos so far guys, really enjoying them!

Good to see Warren getting involved, I think the three of you work well together.

Darrell saids Andy uses a marine with two pistols over a powerfist
marine vs marine

3 A at 4+ to hit with 4+ to wound with no AP
vs
2 A at 4+ to hit with 2+ to wound with AP2
why is this better?
