This is a blood angels ard boyz army I just thought up. I dont quite know if the points are accurate, as my knowledge of the book comes from cursory readings.

2 librarians-110 each
shield of sanguinus, quickening, combi meltas.

3 sanguinary priests-75 each
power weapon, combi meltas

10 assault marines-235
2 melta guns, sergeant with power fist/combi melta

10 assault marines-235
2 melta guns, sergeant with power fist/combi melta

10 assault marines-235
2 melta guns, sergeant with power fist/combi melta

5 assault marines-100
1 melta gun,

5 assault marines-100
1 melta gun,

All marine squads drop their jump packs, giving me the following dedicated transports.

Land raider redeemer-230
extra armor, multi melta.

So thats 5 assault squads, each in a redeemer, the librarians and priests can tag along. The army is designed to destroy space wolves, other marine armies, and orks. I think it does it well. The ability of an assault squad to hop out of its raider, put 3 meltas to the face of a tank, and then charge the occupants is too crazy to pass up.

I dare you to deep strike all those land raiders

I'll admit, it's quite scarry, but it has issues. Edit: If there's someone who can hover outside your range effectively, then they'll be able to outgun you from >36", as you have no firepower that can reach them out there.

Why quickening when unleash rage is vastly superior.. Rerolling hits for the ENTIRE unit vs some extra attacks that could just miss?

I didnt know the name of the preferred enemy power, and felt that writing "preferred enemy power" would make me look like a dunce.

Just use the term blood or rage and you'll be right like 95% of the time with the BA codex

A fun combo Im using is elite inquisitor + tarot + corbulo so you go first a large percentage of the time

With an army like this, I want to second in a lot of objective games. Although I guess tarot+corbulo could let me choose to go second. Ill have to tweek the points.

For Bonus 'I always go first', take another Elite Inq from WH with a Liber Heresius. It only works in the missions that Tarot does not (ones where you roll for table edge, like mission 1 of 'Ard Boyz this year).

Yeah I suppose going second has its advantages, but against some armies you really want to get the jump on them so you give them 1 less turn of shooting

Generally I rather go first and charge 4 raiders up 12" and then assault second turn as opposed to putting stuff in reserve or relying on shield and letting them get 2 turns of shooting

Actually you don't have the option to go second in the current "ard boy scenarios. If you win you go first.

For things like that combo, I actually practiced going second. Autarch helps for sure.

Your List is close to my list which im going too run for fun at rd boys here mine

Relushiarch plasma pistol 145
Libarian blood lance, sanguine sword 100
chaplin plasma pistol 115
chaplinplasma pistol115
sanguiary preist x3 with hand flamers 195
assault squad x2 flamers, sgt lightenclaws landraider redemmer/w/multa meltas 445
assault squad x2 flamers, sgt lightenclaws landraider redemmer/w/multa meltas 445

assault squad x2 flamers, sgt lightenclaws landraider redemmer/w/multa meltas 445

Death company
one with a power weapon
one with a power fist landraider redemmer/w/multa meltas 490

comes too 2495

So all units are fearless, and have feel no pain reroll misses on first assault phase i did have lemart in te army but i wanted another land raider.

holy crap someone else is taking the land raider spam!

my list

librarian
unleash rage, sanguine sword

corbulo

3x10 assault marines, 2 meltas and power weapon, redeemer with multimelta/extra armor

1x5 assault marines, melta, landraider (no upgrades)

dh inquisitor with tarot/2mystics, landraider

3x2 attack bikes with multimeltas (Id take another raider in their place but 6 multimeltas is really good in any mission that isnt mission 3)

Does decent of angels still work if the assault squad is entering by deepstriking land raider?

No, but I have no plans what so ever on deep striking a raider, ever. Its strictly shoot shoot shoot assault assault. The army would be auto win against quite a few builds out there.
