Hey guys! After quitting SM, passing to Necrons and then coming back to SM, I finally made my DA army list of 1500 pts (I'm trying to make it as much Anti-Nids as it can be):

HQ:
Terminator Chaplain
W/ Jump Pack
and Termi. armor + combi-flamer (is it possible to get the Termi and the Jump Pack?) = 170 (total)

Elite:
Dark Angels Veteran Squad
W/ 2 Pairs of Lightning claws
1 Thunder Hammer
1 Powerfist
1 Heavy Bolter =215

Scout Squad
W/ 1 Sniper Rifle
1 Heavy Bolter
Sergeant with Power Weapon = 115 (total)

Troops:
1 Tact. Squad
+5 troops
W/ 1 flamer
1 Lascannon
Sergeant W/ with Powerfist= 215 (total)

1 Tact. Squad
+5 troops
W/ 1 Flamer
1 Lascannon
Sergeant W/ Powerfist = 215 (total)

Fast Attack:
1 Ravenwing Attack Squadron
+3 Bikers W/ 2 flamers
Sergeant W/ Power Sword
+1 Attack Bike W/ Heavy Bolter
+1 Land Speeder W/ Assault Cannon and Heavy Bolter =385 (total)

Heavy Support:
Whirlwind = 85 (total)

Transport:
1 Rhino W/ Storm Bolter, Hunter-Killer and Extra Armor = 70 (total)

TOTAL: 1480 PTS

So.... What do you say?

I think your captain costs 155 instead of 150.

Don't think your melee squad needs the heavy bolter.

Don't think scout sergeants need PFs in a 5-man squad. They're probably all going to die in a melee anyway (and I think its 110, not 115).

Love the combo in your first TAC squad, would consider doing the same with the second squad.

Not fond of hunter-killer missiles or extra armor on rhinos. Not enough bang for the buck.

Use the saved points beefing up your landspeeder squadron. One lone speeder with a cannon would tempt me mightily.

I think I'll change the captain to a Terminator Chaplain, can I also equip him with a Jet Pack?

I gave the scouts a PW and not a PF...

I'll do the same for a TAC squad...

If I gonna fight Nids I will need the extra armor... The Hunter-Killer missiles are for fighting the Fexes, it will help a bit in the battle! :D

You should actually sit down and read your codex first...

Also, just a simple brain-storming session about the purposes of certain units, and what you are going to use them for would help.

and why should I read the codex again? :D
And what's the problem with the purposes of certain units?
You can clearly see that I equipped most of the troops with either a flamer or a Heavy Bolter against the swarms/hordes, Lascannons for the Fexes and other models with high Toughness or High Armor Save...

Not legal as you can't combine termie armor, and a jump pack per the entry. Read under the bullet points for the terminator armor.

Elite:
Dark Angels Veteran Squad

1 Thunder Hammer
1 Powerfist
1 Heavy Bolter =215
Add a few more bodies to this squad, and drop the HB. They shine as a CC unit, if you want to make them shooty give them bolters, or a special.

Scout Squad
W/ 1 Sniper Rifle
1 Heavy Bolter
Sergeant with Power Weapon = 115 (total)
I'm not really sure why you're using this. If you want a high fire unit then go shotguns, otherwise max all of them with sniper rifles. If they get into CC that PW isn't going to do much.

Troops:
1 Tact. Squad
+5 troops
W/ 1 flamer
1 Lascannon
Sergeant W/ with Powerfist= 215 (total)

1 Tact. Squad
+5 troops
W/ 1 Flamer
1 Lascannon
Sergeant W/ Powerfist = 215 (total)
I'm hoping that you're combat squading. But then I'd go with a HB, and a rhino. Pop the top, and shoot.

Fast Attack:
1 Ravenwing Attack Squadron
+3 Bikers W/ 2 flamers
Sergeant W/ Power Sword
+1 Attack Bike W/ Heavy Bolter
+1 Land Speeder W/ Assault Cannon and Heavy Bolter =385 (total)

Heavy Support:
Whirlwind = 85 (total)

If you can, you need another fire magnet like a vindi. Your LS is going to get shot at first, and maybe then the WW. Or sub the LS for another WW.

Transport:
1 Rhino W/ Storm Bolter, Hunter-Killer and Extra Armor = 70 (total)
So what squad was this purchased with?
