In the same vein as their father Lion El'Jonson, Dark Angels officers are expert tacticians and specialists and have been quick to capitalize on the skills of [[Primaris Space Marine]]s and the particular varieties of their squad types. New specialized formations have been developed alongside ancient patterns such as the '''Hammer of Caliban''' and '''Scout Recon Stalker Strike'''. '''Caliban's Reach''' is but one example, which combines the firepower of [[Hellblaster]]s and [[Devastator]]s with [[Centurion]]s to devastating effect. The advanced infiltration and reconnaissance skills all Primaris Space Marines learn as part of their [[Vanguard Space Marine|Vanguard]] training is of great value to a chapter seeking hidden foes. The [[Omniscrambler]]s of [[Infiltrator Squad]]s can severely disrupt enemy communications, allowing [[Ravenwing]] squadrons to strike without their quarry being warned. The Divinator-class [[Auspex]]es of the [[Incursor]]s collect data from battlefields that previously would have been almost impossible to extract. This yields new information to the [[Inner Circle]] to act upon without Vanguard Space Marine's knowledge.{{Fn|41}}
In addition, the Dark Angels are known to have access to a disproportionate amount of [[Plasma Weaponry]].{{Fn|4b}} During the time of the [[Great Crusade]] the Dark Angels were known for their strategic flexibility thanks to the [[Hexagrammaton]] as well as vaults of forbidden weaponry. They also sported perhaps the largest fleet of the [[Space Marine Legion]]s, numbering several hundred warships{{Fn|66b66c}}, including highly advanced relic capital ships including multiple [[Gloriana Class Battleship]]s. The demands of the Crusade combined with the Legion's own strategic flexibility saw it deployed over a wide swathe of the Galaxy over a single warzone, and thus they maintained few in the way of major strongholds.{{Fn|50d}}
