Depends on the points value you play at. I'd suggest starting at 500pts. With dark angels you can go Ravenwing with lots of bikes, Deathwing with lots of terminators, Greenwing with lots of tactical marines in Rhinos, or a mix of them all. Decide on what you want to do, then get an HQ model and two troops choices. You'll also need dice, measuring tape, a codex and the rule book.

GW has just released some new Armoured Assault boxes for Dark Angels. You can get a tactical squad, a rhino and the DA upgrade sprue for 55$. Great savings. The standard advice for starting an army is 2 troops, transports for them and an HQ. So get 2 of these and either an Interrogator Chaplain or a librarian of some sort. Maybe even a special character. After that I suggest Devestators for anti-tanks and then bikes or terminators. Up to you what you like.

The Dark Angels codex has the rules and points values for your units, so you want that one.
Someone at the store might have the big rulebook, but otherwise you might want to get one of the smaller ones.

Any dice are fine. You'll want to pick up a scatter dice as well, if you're using plasma cannons for example.

Dark Angels are my shit.

Go Ravenwing until ~1500 then you can toss in 500pts of Deathwing or Greenwing to fluff it up and tone it down.

You need a rule book, the dark angels codex, the models you want and whatever paints (and other hobby supplies) you need for your scheme.

Also should get dice, tactical objectives and a shit load of time.

You could start with a small 500pt force of Dark Angel's greenwing to learn with then tac on the Ravenwing as you get better as the bikers are expensive pointswise and will leave you with less bodies than most on the field.

>>51187260
GW website has the price for all the kits. Another 25-50$ for paints since you'll need quite a few. Also buy a wash that goes with your main color, makes the model look so much better. GW charges about 10$ a brush.

You need to bring all the stuff you need to play (including your rulebook) and all the models should be What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). This isn't true for all stores (varies by manager) but this is the strictest they should be.

>>51187388

They should help you out if you tell them you are new. A lot of stores have rulebooks there that you can use so you don't have to bring your own. It all depends on the store.
