Dark Angel Space Marine Heavy Support Tactics

In this section we will look at the Dark Angel Space Marine armies heavy support choices.

General Tactics

The legendary stubborness of the Dark Angel army has made them excelant heavy support army. For example it is not unusual to see a single heavy weapon Dark Angel Devistator standing alone passing leadership test after leadership test adding covering fire for the rest of the army long after other Space Marines would have run.

Dark Angel Devastator Squad Tactics

I do tend to use the Dark Angel Devistator Squads frequently in my Dark Angel armies. This is because I tend to having more static shooting tactics when playing the Dark Angels. The Dark Angel Devistator Squads add a big punch for the points cost.

Dark Angel Land Raider Tactics

My Dark Angel Land Raider tactics center around one word - 'Taxi!'. As the Dark Angel Land Raider is not attacked to any squad, you can use it to transport any squad that can fit in and freey them accros sthe battle field safely, or come and rescue squads that are getting in to difficulties.

Dark Angel Land Raider Crusader Tactics

The Land Raider Crusader traids fire power for capacity. This makes the Land Raider Crusader the only resomable choice for a HQ transport if you have a Termermator armoured squad.

Be aware that the Dark Angel Land Raider works out slightly cheaper than the standard Space Marine Land Raider, as the multi-melter is included in the Dark Angel version, and an extra on the Codec Space Marine Land Raider.

Dark Angel Preditor Tactics

Dark Angel Whirlwind Tactics

Dark Angel Vindicator Tactics

The Space Marine Vindicator is armed with the Demolisher Cannon. This is a 24" ordinance weapon. This makes the Vindicator quite a short range compared to the other tanks. This is made up for by the demolisher's high strength. The Vindicator does work well in semi-densely covered battle tables (city fight and jungle fight etc.).
