Hey guys!
I recently started looking into the next army that I want to make after I get my Imperial Guard up and running (which shouldnt take too long here). At first I thought I was going to do a Tau army but after thinking about it, I decided I wanted something that could have a less of a model count then Tau and be easier to transport. This led me to Space Marines and more specifically, Dark Angels.
Now, I began by looking at a the codex and then looking around to see if there were any forum topics on them. For the most part, I saw stuff saying that the Dark Angels were not holding up in the new ed.
My main question is what are the good, bad and ugly aspects of the Dark Angels? Why do they not hold up?
I am mainly attracted to the Deathwing Company and also the general style of the whole army. Is it possible to use a Dark Angel army but use the Main Space Marine codex for a points base? I dont mean just paint my army like Dark Angels but also use their special character and abilities?
Thanks!
