Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

  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'...

  Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a busy weekend for Dark Angels players. There weren't as many events over the weekend, but one of those was the Lone Star Open with over 300 players, and there were two more events with 100+ players, so as you can imagine we had quite a few fellow brethren fighting for the honor of the legion chapter! Our scores were more reasonable than the weekend before, but our fellows still managed to score some quite impressive results, including an event win! It is my genuine pleasure to review a sampling of those lists for you.  Apparently after plodding along with powerful-but-slow Deathwing Knights for most of 10th edition, we as a player body feel the need for speed, because all of the lists we're looking at today used a combination of the Company of Hunters and Darkflight Pursuit as their detachments, all of which with the Recon disposition. We'll start in the obvious place, with the event-winning list.  That list belongs to Ja...
