Well it arrived, I bought it, used it 5 times, undefeated. Of course I am talking about the new "Codex: Dark Angels"
Do I like it? Oh yeah! The interesting thing of note being that I have played games from 1750 pts through to 3500 pts and the new book really holds up well! I have played Grey Knights, Orks, Space Wolves (Who got fully tabled!) and Eldar, so I feel that I have tested the depth of the Codex well.
So whats the plan? Terminator spam? Tried that, it worked well. Then I dusted off the Ravenwing, always owned, never even painted or played with them! As I felt the rules were below average. I added a Nephilim Fighter just for air cover 3 Black Knights and a fully juiced Ravenwing command squad to add some buffs in. I use a tactic of all strike one part of the enemy line (usually at the weakest point) and the "Standard of Devastation" is just crazy.
The Codex has some nice additions but I have really not added much in to my old lists currently, just the change of rules has been enough to tip the scales (and the fact that most power weaps are now ap 3! Termies rule!) The new parts will get used and I will report on the battles over the coming year. I am also aiming to play the UK tournament circuit from April this Year (I Want everything painted and worked out first though!) and I hope to keep the Blog updated as I go!
I have began to paint the units too! I will update the blog a few times over the coming months showing the Nephilim, Bikers and Specialist units that I am now working on. Seriously nice colour schemes, simple but very effective and I have enjoyed making a start on the mini's!
Happy Battles!
