It was, you know, arguably, as I think the pilots would probably say it, you know, maybe one of the best, if not the better singles armies in the game.
but it got off really lightly compared to some of its predators like Slaanesh Demons and AKA Blood Legion, despite what people say, and some other builds going around it, going down a little bit, but predominantly I'm more of the opinion that Games Workshop basically just nerfed Demons in the last data slate, and then Necrons a little bit as well.
so that all in context it came out really well and there was a build here which really shined and full credit to Arne from Team Germany he had what I thought as well at the time was the best Dark Angels build of the lot he had the double Nephilim jet fighter build and this build is brutal and it's particularly good against anything that doesn't have fly keyword or a lot of shooting and if you do have a lot of shooting well it's got quite a lot of shooting back as well so Let me go into it.
So it went up 15 points because I think it took the scout enhancement on Samael, which I think was the only thing that got hit.
It allows you to have a turn where you can scout 9, advance, shoot, and charge, and basically, it buys you a lot of time for your army, but also, if your opponent has some soft stuff and some soft targets, you can potentially crack them too.
For example, if your opponent has... a truck with 10 flash kits in it maybe well turn one you can drop your Nephilim jet fighters as well shoot the truck charge it shoot the contents inside with sammy squad and you've traded up massively after that so it gives a lot of pressure and you get a few different targets which you can go into and it kind of buys you a lot of tempo on the board and allows you to stage your important assets like Lionel Johnson okay then you've got the chaff package i think anna was playing uh this plays reconnaissance by the way uh you've got incursors two units of atvs uh it's just a 60 point unit to play um secondaries two landspeeders two landspeed avengences two nephilim jet fighters one scout squad and one two spawn storm speeder thunderstrikes so i forgot to mention we're playing company of hunters dark flight pursuit here dark flight pursuit gives all your landspeeders uh ignore Gives Ravenwing Fly, ignore cover from Company of Hunters.
And then the Dark Flight Pursuit, I was forgetting the name, gives your Landspeed of Vengeance as an enhancement for reroll number of shot counts and the hazardous counts as well, of course.
It gives you advanced shoot and charge, fallback shoot and charge, and if you're mounted.
