Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

 Greetings honored battle brethren! Another weekend full of exciting 40K action has passed, bringing a pleasant abundance of well-performing lists. I'm here to review my pick of them to keep you informed about what's doing well and hopefully why.  The bulk of the high-scoring lists were again Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit (Recon), which I'm sure comes as no surprise. I'm going to start us off with  Scott McCutcheon's list , with which he went 5-0 and took 1st out of 30 players at the KTC Summer GT held in Hurlford, Scotland. I picked Scott's list because he appears to have take the netlist that emerged as the best overall Dark Angels list and adapted it to Sammy and Recon Hunter each going up 10 points, so it seems likely to be the new netlist for a while.

 Greetings honored battle brethren! It is my pleasure to bring you the news of the weekend's GT's! It was a slower weekend than the previous one, with about half as many players, but that was still a pretty respectable amount, with many of them doing well and bringing honor to the legion chapter! We'll look at a sampling of those lists and see what we can learn from them.  The top list of the week belongs to Chris Irvine, who brought a Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit list (Recon dispo) to the Surrey Primarchs GW Golden Ticket Event held in Smallfield, England, where he went 5-0 and took 1st out of 66 players! Let's check out his list!

  Hello honored battle brethren! It was a big weekend for 40K, with three big events and over 1600 players at all the GTs being played worldwide! With Dark Angels being one of the top armies in the game at the moment, that means a lot of Dark Angels lists did well! Let's take a look at three of those lists. One of those lists is, of course, going to be a Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit list. There were a lot of those lists that performed well over the weekend, but there was one obvious choice. It wasn't played at one of the bigger events, but it was both an event-winning list and it won the most games out of all the lists I had to choose from. This particular list belongs to Cris Hernandez, and with it he went 6-0 and beat 45 other players at the Hole in the Wall GT held in Universal City, TX. Let's check it out.

 Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a much slower weekend than the last two, with less than half the players of the week before, but despite this Dark Angels players still made their presence felt! We had a number of lists do well, including 2 event winners, so let's check them out! This first list actually appeared at two separate events, taking 1st out of 47 at Keelhaul Gaming First Contact held in Roebuck, SC; and 4th out of 135 at The Utah Cup 2026 - Warhammer 40K held in Farmington, UT. The two players, Luke Henderson and Treynor Wolfe respectively, aren't part of the same team, and the most direct route between the two cities is almost 2000 miles, so it seems unlikely these two stalwarts crossed paths. The most likely conclusion is that these fellows picked up the list from a shared 40K coach or it's a list that's been published by a 40K influencer or something, but it is possible they both came up with the same list independently. Just to be clear, I'...
