Hey everyone taking part in esclation league and here is my 1000 point list, revised after a few test matches. This is essentially a scaled down version of my usual rhino/assault rush with dropdread I run at higher point values. It should be noted I dont currently own any Baal Preds or Attack bikes (though have the latter comming in the mail)

HQ
Lemartes

Troops
10 Man Tact Squad
lascannon
flamer

10 man assault squad
powerfist

5 man assault squad (sans jump jet for rhino)

Elite
4 deathcompany with jumps

Dreadnaught with multimelta + CCW

Transport
Rhino
extra armor
extra stormbolter

Droppod for dreadnaught.

Basic Strat
- Move Rhino ahead (use of OCE depends on setup), turnsideways and smoke turn one.
- Advance 2 jumpsquads behind rhino to "hopefully" avoid fire from shooty armies in round 1.
- Use tac squad to tank snipe till dreadnaught lands
- Lemartes to go with the assault squad.
- 5 man assault in rhino is for objective grabbing
- DC unit is to either act as the screen for my assault group or to tie up a squad for a turn.

Other possible changes
- Replace dread with a DC furioso dread in a droppod, this lessens tank hunting ability (at least 2 mech IG armies are in the first round, plus a few other mech heads) but gives a extra scary assault element. If this is really needed with 20 assault based units is debatable.
- Drop the flamer, extra armor and bolter on the rhino for 1 extra jump DC unit.

Dread lands first turn(per drop pod assault)

Bloodangels still have old drop pod rules, this will prolly change in the new codex.
