According to the rules published in Firepower and White Dwarf, there are options for the Dark Angels special units. I am putting together an expeditionary force of a few detachments that will consist of a battle company cross attached with some Deathwing and Ravenwing as allies for my IG. According to the rules, Ravenwing can go on "special" orders for a special dodge bonus during the firing phase that will give them a +1 bonus to armor but half their firepower. I was thinking of putting together two smaller units of 6 assault bikes, 2-3 attack bikes and a few landspeeders with maybe a special detachment leader or a psychic. Their role would be primarily to firefight and seize objectives/put pressure on the enemy. I think against most enemies this would work but against the Eldar I would lump it into one big detachment to parry deep strikes by Gravtanks and Jetbikes. |

Yep. There were four issues before they introduced the Adeptus Titanicus II rules in Epic 40k Magazine and started doing parallel development that eventually became EA. |

Yes that is what I thought, I have all those FP Mags & WDs. But we still use the SM1 organization charts/rules[we still think these were the best] with a [very] little of SM2 mixed and others ... |

Sounds like a plan! The special orders are really best for sneaking into position for a firefight without taking too many casualties from shooting first. If you aren't going to be close enough for a firefight with a normal move, however, you'll probably need to use the Assault order instead. |
