I cut and crammed to try and fit everything I wanted(ish) into this list. I'm a speeder short of what I wanted, well more than just a speeder. Feel free to cut and slash this list. Oh and no suggesting using the vanillia codex, I'm a Dark Angels player dang it, and I'm gonna stand by my 'dex

I have found that Scouts are only good in units of ten. Sniper rifles aren't very effective with relatively high leadership everywhere these days.

Give Belial the Lightning Claws. He kills more stuff that way

You might want to toss a Storm Bolter onto the Razorback in order to keep it from being entirely useless, aside from Tank Shocking, if the Heavy Bolters get knocked off.

Those Terminators... more Assault-y would be great so they hit harder. 5+ Invuls won't keep you alive long enough against hard hitting things in order to use the Powerfists. Perhaps a Chaplain in Termie armor to go with them so they'll hit even harder and have more wounds in the squad.

That's about all I can think of...hope it helps.

It's a mess. Little of this, little of that, no real focus.

If you want DW as Troops, either go all DW or don't bother. Just 1 unit isn't gonna do anything. At 1500, 3 units should be fine. ACs work best with them, add an Apothecary if points allow.

Dakka Preds are nice for cheap ranged power, go nuts with them. Devvies are too expensive.

Scouts are worthless, Dread's too expensive. Either go for MM/HF or TLAC/ML.

Ravenwing Bikers might be better than the Speeders for tank busting. 3 w/ 2 meltas and a AB can use their scout move to hit nearly anything turn 1.

You could end up with something like this:
Belial (I like LCs for the extra attacks)
3x DW Termie Squads-AC, 1 Apothecary, 1 chainfist
2x MM/HF Speeder
2x MM/HF Dreads
2x AC/HB Preds

1500 even. Fewer bodies, but 6 vehicles, 16 Termies that ignore the first failed save every player turn, and a lot more overall firepower. If you're gonna use the DA book, make sure you take advantage of our best rules: scoring Termies.

I like it, I like it alot. I'm going to go back and rework the whole thing. **EDIT** NVM without any changes that list pops out to 1500pts

It's a mess. Little of this, little of that, no real focus.

With the exception of trying to showcase the different units to for painting reasons... agreed
