Reddit user akira_him's Dark Angels Hello honored battle brethren! As you may imagine, it was a pretty slow week for GTs, what with the Thanksgiving holiday being celebrated in the United States. As a result, only a small amount of Dark Angels lists were played at GTs, and only one of those performed well enough to meet my criteria for reporting on. One is better than none though, so let's take a look at this list! This week's list is a Stormlance Task Force that was played by Alex Stewart of Mid-Life Wargaming at the  Winchester 40K GT - November 2025, a 5-round, 47 player event held Winchester, England. You can see Alex's list on BCP. We'll analyze it below.  DA Stormlance 2000pts Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Ravenwing Command Squad Sammael Intercessor Squad: 5 bolter boys Deathwing Knights: 5 awesome chonky macey boys Deathwing Knights: 5 awesome chonky macey boys Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys S...

Hello honored battle brethren! It was an eventful weekend, with a solid pack of Dark Angels players and a number of lists that did quite well. The Stormlance had a particularly good weekend, with two of the best performing lists, including a event winner, and at a pretty big event to boot! It is my privilege to bring these lists to your attention, so without further ado, let's get to it! To begin with the top list of the weekend, let's look at the Stormlance list played by Scott Blegen of Advanced Warfare 40K, who went 5-0 and took the top spot at the RenegadeOpen2025 - 40K GT, a 5-round, 97 player event held in Minneapolis, MN.

Chapter Update: 11/10/2025 - 2025 World Championships and others

Hello honored battle brethren! It is my privilege to bring you news of our legion's chapter's performance over the weekend. The big event of the weekend was the 2025 World Championships of Warhammer, with 402 players, including most if not all of the best players currently in the game. A number of Dark Angels lists did quite well at that event, and plus a couple of our frequently-seen top performers did well at events more local to them.  The top Dark Angels player of the weekend - the Grand Master, let us say, was Midwest Monstars' Kye McCord. He went 6-2 and placed 8th at the 2025 World Championships. He made it into the 3rd Bracket, and not only was he the top Dark Angels player, but only one other Adeptus Astartes player placed higher than him! Here's Kyle's Wrath of the Rock list on BCP. Let's take a look at what he used to ascend to such lofty heights! Angels of the Roaring 🦁! Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Intercessor Squad: 5 b...
