Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

  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 . Let's check it out! 🪽🛩️🏍️ Lion Dad - Warlord Sammael Ravenwing Command Squad: Recon Hunter     Attached: Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Techmarine Invader ATV: melta buggy Land Speeder Land Speeder Land Speeder Vengeance: Nightforged Battery Land Speeder Vengeance: Nightforged Ba...

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   ...

 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!
