DA list feedback

Thanks for the game rob, enjoyable as always and very close, shame we were rushing at the end.

Here's the next list I'm going to try (1848pts):

Sammael (corvex)
Int. Chaplain - bike
RWCommand Squad - standard of Devastation, apothecary
RAS - 6 bikes, attack bike -mm
RAS - 6 bikes, 2mg, attack bike -mm
RAS - 6 bikes, 2mg, attack bike -mm
RAS - 3 bikes, 2mg
5 Black Knights - 1 grenade launcher
Darkshroud
RSS - 3 speeders with tml and heavy bolter

Not too sure about the darkshroud - but that is based on one game where it got torn apart turn one by some railguns. It's not amazingly resilient, but if the game is not KP's I can combat squad the 6 man squads for MSU and get 10 (!) scoring units that are massively maneouverable.

Speeders are there for a bit of long range anti infantry/medium tank back up - not tried a squadron in 6th and so I hope there survivability won't be too bad - prob try and keep them near the darkshroud for a 4+ jink save. Not tried Black knights yet so looking forward to that and Dakka banner gives massive anti-infantry firepower if it can survive (turns the tl bolters into tl salvo 4 bolters between 12" and 24", and bikes are relentless...).

So I think it covers all bases really - at a pinch the Black Knight squad are a combat threat, possibly with Sammael or the Chappy helping them. Chappy will probably be the Warlord as he can roll on Strategic table which have some good results for Ravenwing and Sammael's trait he has to take is not that great. Weaknesses - low model count. vulnerable to massed anti-infantry fire, of which there is a lot around.

What do you guys think?
