The Dark Angels had no problem making full use out of the latest Primaris support at the tables of the Atomic Empire tournament. Check out this army!
Atomic Empire was a pre-qualifier event for a later tournament called Warzone Atlanta. With so many people competing for a spot in the next tournament, we saw some amazing lists. Here are some Dark Angels that brought all the Primaris firepower.
This army comes to us from Chris Genest
Making Full Use of Primaris: Atomic Empire Dark Angels Showcase
Looking a this Dark Angels army, it looks like they had no problem welcoming in the new Primaris support for Guilliman. With so many new units on a Savannah/flatland display, Lt. Brother Veritas had a lot to be in charge of.
A massive squad of Aggressors armed with boltstorm gauntlets hit the field ready to shred through enemy screens. Even though their range is on the shorter side, if anything tries to uproot them, they’re in for a rude double-shooting awakening.
Check out the highights and camo cloaks on this squad of Eliminators. Even their guns have a beautiful red edging effect. It’s easy to see just how much hobby love went into three T4 models alone.
It’s not Primaris, but the Ravenwing Darkshroud is just too good of protection to pass up. It still made the cut for this list. Great job on the lighting effects!
As for the minds behind the operation, a whole handful of new Primaris hit the field. From a banner to a Lieutenant, Apothecary, and even Phobos Librarian, this force had plenty of force multipliers to back them up. Plus, that desert camo cloak is insanely realistic.
Of course. a mainstay in almost any Primaris force these days is a Repulsor. While it’s an expensive transport, it’s still got a decent amount of firepower. Plus, when it looks that good there’s no reason not to take it.
And finally, being a Dark Angels army, where would it be without a helping of plasma? These guys had every edge covered with a bright green trim that makes them pop. The best part about Dark Angels plasma, however, is that they don’t need a Captain to babysit them to re-roll 1’s. It might seem like a small bonus but it makes a huge difference for Hellblasters. Great job!
