Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

  Greetings, honored battle brethren! First of all, let me apologize for this article taking so long to get to you. I had sort of a perfect storm of there being a LOT of Dark Angels players over the weekend of 9/26-9/27, the windows of opportunity I usually have for gathering the data and working on the article not happening this week, and preparing to attend an 8-round event myself the weekend of 10/10 (Battle for Salvation). So, this one is likely coming to you a week late. When I said there were a lot of Dark Angels players over the weekend, I mean a LOT of Dark Angels players. It was the weekend of the London Grand Tournament, which drew 1051 players, 64 of whom were Dark Angels players. That's like twice as many as attended events the weekend prior. All told, there were 100 Dark Angels players who attended big  The top Dark Angels list of the weekend, Jack Murphy's Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit (Recon) list , went 8-1 and placed 4th out of those 1051 players at...

  Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a slower week on the GT front, with only 21 players representing the legion chapter, but they still gave us some lists to examine, so let's have a look at those. Hands down the most successful Dark Angels list of the weekend was Josh Pope's Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit (Recon) list , with which he went 6-0 and placed 2nd out of 85 players at  Roll for Damage GT - Presented by Dragon's Lair. Let's check out his list!  DA hunters r4d Sammael - Warlord Ravenwing Command Squad: Recon Hunter     Attached:  Ravenwing Black Knights: 6 awesome plasma biker boys Ravenwing Command Squad: Recon Hunter     Attached: Ravenwing Black Knights: 6 awesome plasma biker boys Ravenwing Command Squad     Attached: Ravenwing Black Knights: 6 awesome plasma biker boys Techmarine Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Invader ATV: melta buggy Invader ATV: melta buggy Land ...

  Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a more measured weekend for the legion chapter, with a lower win rate than we've seen for the past several weeks, but we still had several lists do very well. As we've come to expect, the vast majority of those lists are Company of Hunters + Darkflight Pursuit (Recon) lists, but there were a couple oddballs that also managed to rise to my attention, so we'll take a look at those. First, though, we'll look at the top CoH+Darkflight list of the weekend, which can be a stand-in for all of them.  That speedy list belongs to Eirik Rokne Stensland, who piloted it to a 6-0 event record and 1st out of 106 players at  Invasion 2026 40k .

Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a big weekend for the legion chapter for one reason in particular - NOVA Open was held over the weekend. A full 28 Dark Angels players attended NOVA Open, and one legend among those went 8-1 and placed 4th out of 383 players! That's an obvious place to start for our weekly update, so let's get right into it. Said legend is Zach Point, and he accomplished this mighty feat of gamesmanship with a Company of Hunters + Darkflight (Recon) list . You may be thinking, oh yay, another one, but Zach's list is noteworthy because...well, you'll see in a minute.  Talk To Me Goose https://youtu.be/siwpn14IE7E?is=7wJXZ6ATlO9_CBdt **CoH/Darkflight NOVA Planes Lion Dad - Warlord Sammael Ravenwing Command Squad: Recon Hunter     Attached: Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Invader ATV: melta buggy Invader ATV: melta buggy Land Speeder Land Speeder Vengeance: Nightforged Battery Land Speeder Vengeance: Nightforged Battery Land Speeder Vengean...

 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. Let's check it out! Speeders goo fast. Zoom zoom Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael     Attached: Sternguard Veteran Squad: 5 awesome bolter boys Sammael Ravenwing Command Squad: Recon Hunter   ...
