You want some heavy firepower for your Dark Angels but your codex is found wanting? Forgeworld has the answer!

WH40k approved, 3 S9 AP2 Ordnance TL shots at 36". And for the cheap price of only 180 points! The crew are even boltgun-armed space marines, so it's a tough unit to boot.
HQ and one troop, actually.
Good cheap IG troops? Vet squad with a Commisar or Primaris Psyker both work quite well. Leman Russ Tanks are OK, but a better option for crowd control might be 2-3 Hellhounds in a squadron, thanks to their awesome weapons and inability to miss vs. most targets. They will definitely prove to be more cost effective.
Oh, and don't forget about Vendetta Gunships. Flyers are great, and IG flyers are even better. 3 Twin-Linked lascannons apiece for less than 140 points each? You can get three of these for the cost of two and a half Russ tanks, and often they'll be more effective over the course of the game. Plus they will give you that critical anti-air support as your opponents start to add flyers to their armies.
Be aware, mass-flyer lists are possible but often very un-fun to play against. Bring them only to WAAC competitive events, not to normal table games, unless your opponent knows your intention and has no complaints.
So far I've ruled the skies in our games. depending on my list/army I run 2 thunderbolts, or 2 hell blades, 2 dakkajets, etc etc.
The skies are mine.
Good point about the one HQ and one Troop though. But honestly I see him play he needs more then a simple vet squad an HQ and a few tanks can do. The Valks might be nice, but it depends how he'd play them.
He really needs about 3 somethings packing big guns that can reach out and touch you and have 2 tac sq's to stay back and defend these guns.
(I like LEMT's idea)
and thelion I've never knocked you for trying (just for whinning)
Sounds like he needs some flyers of his own, or a few hydras. I always thought Deathwing/Ravenwing hybrids were the way DA's are supposed roll. All Deathwing sounds powerful on paper, but doesn't seem too tactically flexible to me. Never played against them so honestly wouldn't know.
Note that what I proposed isn't useful versus flyers!
they have some power to them but they do tend to flounder since we normal play team games i can rely one my partner for some support for them but yea i do need to find something to help them. im most likley going to stay in my codex for this but i have just ben looking at all of my options
