Steven Crawley DA 1

Steven’s Dark Angels were led by Azrael and Ezekiel due to their great stats and support abilities, while the Interrogator Chaplain and Talonmaster bring in a good hit aura and litany support as well!

Troops keep it to a minimum with 5 Infiltrators, which are decent and cheap bodies.

Then the real meat of the list starts in Elites with a Deathwing Ancient and 2 Deathwing Command Squads, which will go along the map with the main threat in this list… That being a giant blob of Terminators.

That blob is a massive 30 Terminators with Hammers and Shields for some insane melee pressure and very durable bodies! This ain’t no joke, and spamming them was clearly an effective strategy!

As it turns out, if your opponent can’t kill all your threats, your threats tend to win!

The list then closes out with an Apothecary for some heals each turn while the Terminators lay waste and soak wounds all game long!
