Dark Angel Troop Tactics

In this section we will look at the Dark Angel Troop choices an thier tactics. Now don't get too exited be the choice of troop choices, there is only one - The Tactical Squad!

Dark Angel Tactical Squad

The back bone of the Dark Angel army is the tactical squad. Ypu can have two sizes of tactical squads, five marines or 10. It is hardly ever worth having squads of five.

5 man squad can have assault weapons. You only have the choice of a 5 man upgrade, but these are 5 points cheaper untill you add an assault weapon, at which point the points even out. All the heavy weapons are 10 points more than codex marines.

Combat Squads

Dark Angel Tactical Squads can be split in to two 5 man squads at he start of the game. What works well is the plit the Vetran Sargent and close compat weapon in to one group, and the heavy weapon in to the second group. This gives you two specialist squads.

Tactical Squad Transport options

The Dark Angel Tactical Squad has three transport options that can be assigned to the squad, and the option to use a Land Raider that can be assigned to a seperate Heavy Support choice.
