Hi everyone,
I'm your avid Imperial Guard enthusiast and a fairly frequent user of this site. Recently I got a good friend of mine into the hobby. He got all excited and was about to blindly by a bunch of Dark Angel stuff when I suggested that he take my dark vengeance dark angels. After all they were just gathering dust in my wardrobe. He bought himself some scouts to make a list with two troops and a couple of weeks later bought a lan raider and whirlwind.
We've played a few games now, a mini campaign I wrote to help him with the rules and of course pose a challenge but slanted the odds in his favour slightly just to ensure a few nice wins for him. After the final mission in our campaign he said, "ok cool, now I wanna face your actual army." So we've played another three games and clearly my list is very strong and I've got over a year and half of playing experience over him. I pretty much wiped the floor with him each time. Now I know that with experience he'll get better but I was wondering if you DA player could have a look at his list and suggest a few options. I think he wants a balanced list. He it is...
Basically the Dark Vengeance Dark Angels
Company Master - Artificer Armour, Power Sword, Combi - Plasma.
Interrogator Chaplin - (forget upgrades)
Scout Squad - Camo Cloaks, Missile Launcher
Tactical Squad - Plasma Cannon, Plasma Gun, Sgt's Plasma Pistol.
3x Man Bike Squad - Plasma Gun
Terminators - Assault Cannon, Chain Fist.
Lan Raider
Whirlwind
(Librarian which he hasn't run in a list yet)
All Sgt's are veterans.
Works out to roughly 1250.
Advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks for your time.
