Borka, the EpicUK list also has no allies and some extra rules for the DA units... ;-)
Yeah I had a look at it, but it lacks a bit in flavor compared to this list. There's no vengeance for instance and I look forward to convert those up. Would also like to play the glaive as it's a really cool looking tank. The UK have slow firing on the devestators as well (but a little better stats) which makes them rather useless IMHO.
I now saw that the upgrade list lacks the hunter upgrade. I assume 75 pts as per the codex list?
I wouldn't call the EUK devastators useless... in a drop pod they are utterly fantastic, easily able to vape a shielded warhound with a sustain fire, and they make a great blitz guard formation sat on OW with a pair of hunters
I'd say the UK dark angels list is the strongest UK marine list, without wanting to blow my own trumpet I've got a 7-1-3 WLD record with it, which is way better than any other army I've used, and several of the options in this list need to be carefully watched so we don't end up with codex marines++, that said I have every faith in Mard to reign things in when necessary
back to the NetEA/EpicAU list here, I'd like to see Mard carry on developing it, it's clearly got lots of appeal for people who want a fluffy Dark Angels list, and Mard has said he wants to push it through NetEA as well, which needs test games, lots of test games hopefully when he gets CanCon out of the way he can show his latest draft off and we can kickstart development
and I seem to recall that in the latest fluff, Dark Angels don't have hunters, either because they don't need them or they lost the STC file or fell out with mechanicum over it or something, so that's probably why they aren't in the list (gotta have some drawbacks right?)
