How to Keep Your Deathwing Knights Alive All Game

If your Death Wing Knights are dying before they get to do anything, the problem probably isn't your list. It's target priority. This video breaks down exactly which units to shoot, which to ignore, and how to sequence your turns so that when the hammer blow lands, it actually hits something worth hitting. I walk through target prioritisation across the full arc of a game - early, mid, and late - with a clear Dark Angels focus. In the early game it's about clearing the chaff that would otherwise bait your Death Wing Knights into wasted charges, and hunting down the key threats that can clip them before they get going. That means identifying high AP mass one damage units, damage three elite infantry, melta carriers, and lascannon platforms, then routing your fast shooting units like the Land Speeder Vengeance to deal with them before they become a problem. The mid game is where the fun starts. That's when the Lion and the Death Wing Knights come crashing in, and this video is all about making sure that hammer blow lands on something meaningful - not a 80 point chaff screen your opponent was happy to sacrifice. The late game is about not letting up. Slingshotting forward, keeping your opponent reacting to you, and making sure they never get the foothold they need to claw back into the game. There's also a full breakdown of an example list, covering what every unit is doing and why - from Asrael and the Catan Captain baiting overcommits, to the Scouts building board presence, to the Land Speeder Vengeances and Vindicator sitting ready to light up anything your opponent is forced to bring into the open.
