New and trying to put something together that may be... Decent or even semi-competitive. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. As it stands, I am just throwing together tidbits I have come across in exploring the web...

Why all the locator beacons?? I dont see exactly what you plan on using it on aside from 1 unit of death company.

I think the furiosos work very very well with a frag cannon. If you drop the locator beacons you can buy frag cannons for them and give the razorbacks a better weapon. Heavy bolters arent all that.

Separate the vindicators into 2 separate units they do so much damage that you dont need them in a squadron. Use the squadron when you have 3 vindicators tho for that big deathplate.

The librarian doesnt really need the gallan staff, and according to the new FAQ you can only take 1 relic, so make it the veritas which is almost always worth it.

Going of my limited knowledge, the Locator Beacons on the two Tactical squads was for the Furioso Dreadnoughts to come in successfully and without error. I suppose that isn't really all that necessary?

Is there any particular setting where a Furioso (or really any Dreadnought) with Blood Talons is worth taking? I really like the way that just looks...

Good to know about the Vindicators. I'll make that adjustment for sure!

And... Didn't realize that. I based taking the staff off of a few things I had come across while looking for help trying to assemble something of a list.

Blood Talons are cool and you could use them, i personally have 2 furiosos with them, but I add those in only after i've made room for the 2 with frag cannons that i own. Furiosos are great walkers, dont be shy about fielding several. With the amount of alpha striking in the game, a blood taloned furiosos makes for a great backfield deterrent and counter assault specialist to anything that dares invade your territory.

Locator beacons are awesome if you have several units that are going to make use of it. Units in drop pods dont need a locator beacon since Drop Pods rarely mishap (going off the table or if you set up within 1" before rolling scatter)

I definitely appreciate this feedback... Wanted to see if I could fit everything in I definitely enjoyed just the concept of having in the list. Here we go:

I don't like the lack of grav.

Not sure what they do just yet... First I've been told about 'em too. Any one unit I should consider including them with...?

Bikers. Or devs with two grav cannons that hide a rhino all game.

That new list is looking beefy I like it.

A few small suggestions, deathwind missile launchers aren't all that you could spend those points better take those off and use the drop pod only for transporting purposes.

give the dreads with blood talons dual meltaguns and kill a tank as soon as they drop in (drop the dreads down first with infantry coming down after to claim objectives)

You have a lack of anti armor, making this change will go a long way towards helping you deal with armoured targets.

Grav is very powerful, unfortunately blood angels don't make great use of it like space marines whom have skyhammer formation and centurions (those are the best possible use for grav). The next best thing being a distant 3rd is putting grav on bikes or devs inside a rhino, but the output and mobility just isn't the same and thus not as effective, you don't need grav in BA lists.

If you have enough points to spare give the libby mastery 2
