How to Start a Dark Angels Army in Warhammer 40K - Unforgiven for Beginners in 10th Edition 

I dont comment much on youtube. But this channel has pretty much singlehandedly taught a newbie to the hobby everything he knows. Thank you for doing what you do. Awesome content as always!

As a dark angels player I personally like to go for the theme if it has plasma it’s probably in the army, a lot of terminators and knightly units like blade guard

I started with the (older) Combat Patrol because it looked really neat. Now I am nearly at 1500points with plans up to 2k.

Im new to dark angels and war hammer 40k as a whole so this was a big help thank you 🙂🙂🙂

I started in 9th - and could see the writing on the wall for firstborn - so just focused on primaris greenwing. Have a 2k force of those so far. Now with the new Deathwing releases - I'm happily working on those. I'm guessing 11th ed will come with a Ravenwing refresh - so will likely start on those then (perhaps starting with some primaris stuff beforehand - storm speeders, ATV's etc.). It's all worked out rather well!

Just started a DA army this year and have built up the Deathwing and was able to get one of the older combat patrols as well!

Excited for the White Scars refresh so I can start my Ravenwing 😅

I got lucky and got the last old combat patrol at my local Warhammer store. I guess I had perfect timing.

I've been waiting for this video! Between you and Brushstroke Painting my DA are gonna be looking clean and mean, FOR THE LION!

For the Lion!

Man, excellent video. Just what I was looking for. Will be referring back to this one on my DA army journey. Thanks for all videos you put out, has really helped me get my head around the nuts and bolts of the hobby.

I use to play with my dad about 10 years ago, but i didn't put to much attention to the lore (i was 10) I just starting getting interested to the lore, and getting back to playing, thank you so much for explaining everything into detail, im trying to build my first legion and this guide was perfect 10/10

I am going for a 2,000 point Inner Circle List. The DeathWing Assault box models, another squad of Terminators, a Land Raider Proteus(Land Raider Proxy), Land Raider Redeemer, six Blade Guard with a Lieutenant with Storm Shield, and a StormRaven. I know it may be a small list, but everything has three plus wounds. The Gunship just because I think it looks cool, probably one of my favorite models right now.

If you end up getting the new combat patrol, combining it with the blood angels patrol works pretty specifically. Gravis cap get aggressors, -Chaplin gets- bladeguard, librarian gets hellblasters and rides the impulsor, build infiltrators, cut 5 intercessors and buy a gladiator reaper.

Asmodai and Assault interessors look fun with Deathwing detatchment. Pair with a LR Reedemer.

The Ravenwing army is close to what my friends and I have been discussing, other than the flyers. Chaplains on bikes are neat, if only for giving the unit dev wounds, and +1 to wound. We just want to see the points costs before we commit

Literally just about to start my dark angels army (swear I've wanted to pre new models, swear...) so this is perfect timing. Cheers!

I really enjoy this channel, also. I am also starting Dark Angels in 10th. They were my army way back in 2nd edition, but I've been playing Ultramarines since 98 or so. I will be honest, I'll probably paint them up as a custom chapter so I can swap in units and play them as generic adeptus astartes. Its probably just my fear of rules changes, but I really like the idea of having the option to play the Lion and his round table guys or Robert and his community planning brigade. Either way, I enjoy the channel, keep up the good work!!

Such a sneaky way to preview the points changes. We now know the points for Inner Circle Companions and Ravenwing Command Squads, as well as a smattering of others because those points are not from the current codex or the current Munitorium Field Manual

i started with dark angels as my First army this year and i am really happy so far. awesome models and lore. the deathwing assault box and the old combat patrol let me put a good army on the field in no time. azrael is a no brainer so are hellblasters if you ask me

Find chaos buddy. Buy dark vengeance. Split with chaos buddy. Walk away from mirror.

I’m actually starting a Dark Angel’s force right now. Got a few things and I’m starting to reach my final few units. How does the comment section feel about a Gladiator Lancer?

You should do a video about starting an Iron Hands army!!!

Step 1. Throw away your beloved Talonmaster, Ravenwing Landspeeders and Deathwing Command Squads. Step 2. Take a deep breath.

I got the old combat patrol at Christmas was going to get blood angels but decides to wait glad i did.

New to 40k but I am becoming somewhat obsessed! I am defo a Lion fanboy and by proxy I am going to start with DA but I get so overwhelmed with everything.

I enjoyed this video, thanks very much o7

It’s a bad time to start Dark Angels. The best thing to do is buy everything to make a good ironstorm list and add Azrael.

not a fan of space marines so i opted to get, lion, azreal, belial, inner circle and deathwing knights, my next grab will be terminators to get to 2000pts. the lion was such a cool model to me that it got me into da

I just dont undertand how the codex has been out for weeks now but still isnt on the fucking official app

Ravenwing sounds fun as hell. I only see the Ravenwing Black Knights on GW's webstore but the contents are the Ravenwing Command Squad. Weird.

I feel until we know what the new points will be, it's best to wait and see. Some units might end up being either amazing or utterly worthless.

Well first you’ll need a Time Machine so you can purchase previous combat patrols and sets because the current 10th edition sets are garbage

How to start a da army: buy chaos space marine combat patrol, then chosen, box of legionnaires and maybe some possessed. Sorted.

I’m thinking I’m gonna sell my Black Templar specific stuff and swap it for Dark Angels. The new stuff nails that space knights vibe

I have the old combat patrol, the death wing assault box, and the leviathan box. I think that next I am going to get the new combat patrol, some aggressors for the apothecary biologis and the gravis captain, and then all of the named characters except for those who are in the raven wing since I’m not as interested in it. If anyone has any other suggestions please tell me

My brother is starting a darks angels army to have a back up to his neuron army. What can I buy him to team up with the dark angels? Can those army dudes be part of the dark angels in a game with the dark angels. I bought him commander Dante. Looking to get him something else TIA 😊

It’s odd to me that the Dark Angels have no unique green wing models. Weirdly enough the majority of their unique models seem to be ravenwing. The chapter is supposed to have lots of plasma, and melee. Kind of wish we got some “normal space marine”models to reflect that. Could give them more of a DA flair as well with hoods and robes.

What interrogators Chaplains 👀

When GW gets around to the Ravenwing, I hope they do a veteran Bike kit in the vein of the Sternguard or Vanguard and an upgrade sprue to Dark Angel it. I think it's the only way they could balance it. If some of the features are available to all Marines and then a bit of plasma on top for the DA.

Can Sternguard be used in the Inner Circle task force?

New to the hobby and have a question: Can i mix deathwing and greenwing units in the same list? Want to get the deathwing box but my budget is limited and currently only have greenwing units.

I'm already over 7000 points in on dwing/rwing/and standard space marine gwing and got about 10 more units to paint then I'm done and onto imperial knights. Wheres ezekiel? Got the companions and asmodai on pre order and I'm going to be doing a ravenwing brutalis but come on da you can't leave ezekiel out he's the only one left

I´m sorry can someone please list the First purchases order? Please.

Why are these guys not the favorite child of GW?

are space wolfs having a new Combat Patrol Kit

8:58 The Subreddit is NOT r/DarkAngels!!! You're looking for r/TheUnforgiven. Well you might be looking for both, but if you want the first Legion of Space Marines you're looking for the latter.

GW not adding the generic marine stuff to the DA codex is a crime against decency. Rules should be free online in the first place, but at the very least, they should all be in their codex...

Buy 30 Terminators. Is it effective? Maybe? Are they fun as hell? Absolutely!

Got deathwing assault + combat patrol + 3x ICC..... alll going to be Black templars ;)

“REPEEEEENT!!!”

Note for everyone who wants to buy Hellblasters to start a DA army: Don't. They *SUCK* to build. Each leg and torso piece could fit each other except for minor differences that not even the instruction booklet is 100% consistent with. And worse is the plasma gun assembly, it's so fiddly (the cabled variant is especially egregious).

It's just too expensive at this point, me and my 40k friends have grown up pretty well off but even we're starting to see it as unaffordable, how can they justify these prices?

DA was the original 'that the legion I want' when I first got into 40k as a teen. Had a few kits and the Dark vengance box, was never really in a place to collect an army until the tail end of 8th, Ended up going Chaos/ xenos, and collecting basically everything that wasn't space marines because I was and still am Extremely salty about the Primaris lore and god damn havoc its wrought on the wrangle as a whole. With Firstborn/primaris agnostic Terminators/Sternguard in 10th, Figured id lean back in a bit, decided to go ahead and make that child-hood dream army with the deathwing box and some 3d prints of etsy. This was anther reminder how irritated I am by the primaris bullshit though, We are never gonna get a discount box with a land raider or a rhino in it again. Every Start collecting/combat patrol for marines will be forever poisoned with the same damn 5 repeating intercessors. Drop pod devastators with grav guns or plasma cannons will need to be hunted down for true scale prints to look right next hellblasters and tac squads will never again be relevant and probably end up getting phased out in an edition or two. It didn't have to be this way, they could have just updated the kit, the didnt need to molest the lore and now its going to take a hard reset that will inviatbly piss off half the fan-base to get things back on track.

"How to Start a Dark Angels Army" first, put on a hood.

#playLegendsUnitsAnyway

Here's the neat part. You don't. If you're not already committed to the faction, there is no reason to get into them with the garbage codex and them being nerfed into the ground. Maybe we'll have better luck in 11th edition.

The answer to how is you dont

'Promo SM'

I thought about changing to Dark Angels but my favourite unit is Flamestorm Aggressors and as I understand it the Dark Angels dont like the primaris

Nooo don't lead them down the dark (angel) path! Stay true to the tyranids people! They love! They embrace! Suffer not the illmade biomass!

How about the real Loyalists ? @Auspex Tactics, how about planning a Fallen army ? DA never speak of them yet are always chasing them. GW have made them integral to the DA backstory but the DA Codex and the CSM Codex ignore them bar a paragraph or two. The loyal Brethren need to be able to respond to Azrael's lies. Luthor held Caliban while Jonson went seeking personal glory. Yet he is called the traitor. There's many lore arguments as to whether Fallen even get access to Primaris. So what minis do we get ? First Born are on their way out and HH minis aren't recognised in 40K. The only Fallen applicable box is the SM DA Veteran box. Fallen is covered so badly, they're tabled to be played as anything a player wants, from regular SM to absolutely any chapter of CSM. We need conformity. We need an army. We need revenge !
