Warhammer 40k
Dark Angel Deathwing Tactics

Have you ever wanted an army made up only of the toughest troops going? Well you can in the Death Wing army.

The Deathwing use to have their own army list. These days the Deathwing is part of the main army list.

The Dark Angel are fairly slow troops. You do not get any bikes or speeders to add pace to the army. Slow armies are easier to second guess and react to. This will leave you at a strategic disadvantage. So adding for pace to the army is a must.

Apart from walking you have two options of getting around. Deep strike and Land Raiders. As you can only deep strike once per unit, and deep-striking comes with some risk, this has only a limited advantage. For this reason I recommend taking one or more Land

How Can I Get A Deathwing Army?

The key to a Deathwing army is the master of Deathwing. If you have this character in your army, then you are allowed to have Terminators as troops well as elite choices.

Deathwing HQ Tactics

You have few choices here (yippee!), Master of Deathwing, Terminator Captain, Librarian in Terminator Armour, and a Chaplin in Terminator Armour.

Deathwing Elite Tactics

You only have one unit choice here, a Terminator squad!

Deathwing Fast Attack Tactics

You don't even get one choice here. To create a Fast Attack like unit, you will have to add a Land Raider to a squad. But you can not use the Fast Attack slots for this.
