Angel's Keep: A 40K Dark Angels Blog

Hello battle brethren! The First Legion Unforgiven Chapter had a big weekend!  We actually had enough lists get X-results that I had to develop a criteria for which of them I'd include in an article. We even had an event winner, which obviously I'll start with. So, without further ado, here are the top Dark Angels lists of the weekend! The event winning list was played at Ironforged I, a 5-round, 32 player event held in Umeå, Sweden. Tim Nordin of Draknästet SK took the top spot with his Stormlance Task Force! Way to go Tim! You can see Tim's list on BCP. Our discussion of it is below.

Hello battle brethren! Another weekend is past us, and with it bitter defeats and glorious victories! We're here to discuss the latter, with my weekly roundup of the most successful Dark Angels lists of the weekend. Four lists went 4-1 over the weekend, with two of them being Wrath of the Rock lists, and the Stormlance Task Force coming back with the other two! We'll talk about the Stormlance lists first - get through discussing that grubby detachment that lesser chapters can use so we can get to the lists using our righteous bespoke detachment! The first of these was played at Capital Clash - Dakka Dakka!, a 5-round, 51 plyaer event held in Holt, ACT, Australia. Tim Neal of ACT 40K took 5th place with his Stormlance list. You can see the full list on BCP, and the short version starts off our discussion below.

Hello honored battle brethren! I'm back again to bring you the Dark Angels news of the weekend! We had four lists go X/1 at their events, plus two that went 4-2, mostly Wrath of the Rock lists, but also a couple of Companies of Hunters. It's nice to see brethren getting results with actual Dark Angels detachments! Let's have a look at these lists and see what we can learn from them! We'll start with the Wrath of the Rock lists. The first one we'll take a look at was played at the Geek Shack Farewell Taylor GT, a 5-round, 33 player event held in Las Cruces, NM. Edward Salas took 5th place with his Wrath list. You can see Edward's list on BCP. We'll discuss it below.

Hello battle brethren! It was a lighter weekend than usual due to the July 4th holiday over here in the United States, but the rest of the world didn't stop having 40K events. We had four lists go X/0 or X/1 over the weekend, and all of them were Wrath of the Rock lists. Over three times as many players played Wrath lists as all the other detachments combined over the weekend. So, let's take a look at those lists, see what we can learn from them, and celebrate the achievements of our battle brethren! I'd like to start at the Geelong 40k Town Open, a 5-round, 61 player event held in Victoria, Australia.I There, Jamie Wood of The Dirty D6 Dozen went 4-0-1 to take 2nd overall! Going undefeated at a GT is a major accomplishment! You can see Jamie's list on BCP. We'll discuss it below.   Jamie's list Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Chaplain in Terminator Armour Judiciar: Ancient Weapons Lieutenant: Tempered in Battle Intercessor Squad: 5 bolter boys Deathwing Knights: 5 a...

  Hello battle brethren! Another weekend is behind us, and over that weekend many of us did battle on tables worldwide (not me, I was NPCing a LARP). Statistics indicate that collectively we're struggling to keep our heads above water, but there are some good results to talk about. I have 4 lists I want to talk about, and 3 of them are bespoke Dark Angels detachments! Even more wild, 2 of them are Company of Hunters lists, and one of those lists is an event winner! Let's take a look at these lists and see what we can learn from them.  We'll do the logical thing and start with the event winner. Jofonz Blow of RBBR took 1st place with his Company of Hunters lists at Bigfoot GT, a 5-round, 22 player event held in Medford, OR. You can see Jofonz' list on BCP. We'll discuss it below. We are the Shadow Riders, born of night, We ride for the Emperor, wielders of might. Not for glory, nor for fame, In shadows deep, we etch His name. Our path is unseen, our strike is swift,...
