I'm just starting to play 40K and have narrowed it down to either Dark or Blood Angels. Which would you recommend and what army construction would you use?

 

[Deciever]

They's both good, but if you're new to painting, you might want to try Blood Angels. I love Ravenwing termies, though. Either is good, but Blood Angels armies are a biit more comlicated to field because of their special rules.

Dark Angels! (hugs DA's)

maybe if you're new, opt an all-round army, i have posted up a few DA Army Lists in the Amry List forum, but these are specialised lists. Take a few assault troops, a few shooty, and see what works best for you.

Good luck with whatever you choose

Its a simple choice when u think about it- do u want the second best assault chapter in the game (sorry, but i really think that templars have the true assualt capability whereas blood angels are slightly more a shooty army- look at each chapters basic squads for example...)

or

Do you want to have best ranged weapon chapter, with alot of benefits (esp. sacred banners) to blow your opponents to peices
