Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

  Hello battle brothers! It is my pleasure to bring you the news of a list that placed in the top ten at Cherokee Open! Benjamin Rubenstein from team Battle For Salvation placed 9th out of 248 at the super-major in Cherokee, North Carolina. It's always exciting to see a Dark Angels list do well, so let's take a look at this one and see what we can learn from it! Here's the short version of the list: Ironstorm Spearhead Azrael Librarian in Phobos Armor: Master of the Machine War Techmarine: Target Augury Web Techmarine: Adept of the Omnissiah Assault Intercessor Squad: 5 choppy boys Inceptor Squad: 3 plasma boys Infiltrators: 5 sneaky boys Ravenwing Darkshroud Redemptor Dreadnought Repulsor Executioner: macro plasma incinerator Repulsor Executioner: heavy laser destroyer Repulsor Executioner: heavy laser destroyer Stormraven Gunship Callidus Assassin There are definitely some familiar elements to this list: Azrael, the Darkshroud, the Stormraven, a Redemptor for the Stormrav...

Good day, battle brothers! I'm pleased to bring you news of our esteemed legion  chapter taking first place at a Grand Tournament! This auspicious event took place in the United Kingdom (Cardiff, Wales to be specific), at Renegades Open: Echoes Of War 6, where Chris Lewis of Vale Renegades took a Vanguard Spearhead and went undefeated. Good job, brother Chris! The Vanguard Spearhead is one of the detachments that Space Marine players seem to be able to lean on to get tournament wins. Chris' list has some conventional choices, but also some I didn't expect to see in a Vanguard. The quick version of his list is as follows: Azrael Chaplain in Terminator Armor wt The Blade Driven Deep Librarian in Phobos Armor wt Ghostweave Cloak Lieutenant Centurion Devastator Squad: 6 CentDevs Deathwing Knights: 10 Knights Hellblaster Squad: 10 plasma boys Infiltrator Squad: 5 sneaky boys Scout Squad: 5 sneaky lads Scout Squad: 5 sneaky lads Scout Squad: 5 sneaky lads Land Raider Redeemer Aw,...
