Dark Angels
Army Rules
The Unforgiven
Army-wideIf an Adeptus Astartes unit has a second Faction keyword on its datasheet, that Faction keyword is the name of that unit’s Chapter. For example, Asmodai has both the Adeptus Astartes and Dark Angels Faction keywords, and is therefore from the Dark Angels Chapter.
You cannot include units from more than one Chapter in your army.
Designer’s Note: The rules presented in this section assume that the Adeptus Astartes units in your army are from the Dark Angels Chapter, but they can also be used to represent any Dark Angels successor Chapter. However, players who wish to faithfully recreate the Dark Angels Chapter on the tabletop should only include Dark Angels Epic Heroes if their collection is intended to represent the First Founding Chapter itself; Ezekiel is the Chief Librarian of the Dark Angels, for example, and not of any of their successors.
The Ravenwing
Army-wideThe following Adeptus Astartes units gain the Ravenwing keyword if they are drawn from the Dark Angels Chapter:
Mounted units
Vehicle units that can Fly
The Deathwing
Army-wideThe following Adeptus Astartes units gain the Deathwing keyword if they are drawn from the Dark Angels Chapter:
Terminator units
Bladeguard Ancient, Bladeguard Veteran Squad, Sternguard Veteran Squad and Vanguard Veteran Squad with Jump Packs units
Land Raider, Land Raider Crusader, Land Raider Redeemer, Repulsor and Repulsor Executioner units
Dreadnought units
Space Marine Chapters
Army-wideIf an Adeptus Astartes unit has a second Faction keyword on its datasheet, that Faction keyword is the name of that unit’s Chapter. For example, Marneus Calgar has both the Adeptus Astartes and Ultramarines Faction keywords, and is therefore from the Ultramarines Chapter.
You cannot include units from more than one Chapter in your army.
Combat Doctrines
Army-wideAt the start of your Command phase, you can select one combat doctrine listed below. If you do, that combat doctrine is active for friendly Adeptus Astartes units with this ability until the start of your next Command phase.
Unless otherwise stated:
You can only select each combat doctrine once per battle.
Only one combat doctrine can be active for each unit. If a rule makes a combat doctrine active for a unit, any combat doctrine previously active for that unit is no longer active for that unit.
