===Special=== *'''The Lion and the Wolf (1CP):''' Use before the battle begins if your army contains any {{W40Kkeyword|[[Space Wolves]]}} units. These must be taken in a different detachment, else you can't use Dark Angel stratagems. Choose one {{W40Kkeyword|Dark Angels Infantry}} model and one {{W40Kkeyword|Space Wolves Infantry}} model and roll a D6 for each. On a 4+ those models take a mortal wound. Each model that survives then receives +1 Weapon Skill, Strength, Attack and Leadership for the duration of the battle. This is simultaneously considered one of the best and one of the worst Stratagems out there, as most Dark Angel Players don't field Space Wolves (for good reason, see below), but it's also easy to abuse: **Gives you a crunchy excuse to field these two famous rivals together. The combinations are phenomenal, particularly since there seems to be no limit on who can be your champions. HQ choices and named characters can comfortably soak a 50% chance of a wound before the battle begins if it means getting extra attacks and strength for the ''whole battle''. Get an apothecary on the job and restore that wound so it barely even matters. **If you want to use Mind Wipe, use this stratagem for the +1 Ld. Among the other bonuses turns your librarian into a fearsome character. Target your Interrogator chaplain with this and keep your librarian within 6" to also gain the Ld 10 for Mind Wipe. **Best option is an auxilliary detachment with just one character, but it will cost you an extra CP. Good options are: Lucas the Trickster or Krom Dragongaze for leadership fuckery. Arjac Rockfist is a good character-hunter with deep strike, that benefits from S12 and 7 attacks on the charge with re-rolls against characters. A rune priest can manifest Tempest's Wrath, which is basically Aversion with a different name so it stacks for -2 to hit on that knight or daemon primarch. **A Supreme Command detachment is the most efficient way to use this stratagem without losing a command point, and would look nicely thematic. A supreme command detachment of three Space Wolves HQ's also gives you access to the Space Wolf stratagems. You can also build a Supreme Command detachment of Adeptus Astartes with 1 Space Wolf and 2 Dark Angel characters or any other detachment with Dark Angel units with 1 space wolf character. You do need another Dark Angel only detachment to get access to this stratagem. **If you do want to take a bigger detachment of SW, go for a decent space wolf detachment and look at the SW tactics page for advice on how to build a SW army, you [[Furry|closet wolf]].
