Codex Overview

The 2013 Codex sees the Dark Angel Scouts move back to being troop choices. This is partly because there are a number of new units added to the Elite section. Do not let this fool you though. The Dark Angel chapter more than any other Space Marine chapter rely on the Space Marine Tactical units as the core of the army.

Legendary Stubbornness

Dark Angel Space Marines have always been famous for their stubbornness. In the 2013 Codex you will find that have the Stubborn or Fearless special rule in addition to the ' They Know No Fear ' special rule. The bonus of this stubbornness is that the Dark Angels will fight to the last man. This means that the Dark Angel Space Marine will kill more of the enemy other model than the other Space Marine Chapters will. This is specially noticeable if you use the Combat Squads option for you Tactical squads. When you are using Combat squads, the units are reduced to 5 men units, and it is when you have smaller units that the Dark Angle Stubbornness really starts to show. However the downside is that they will not back down from close combat even when there is no hope of winning.
