Hey guys what's going on! It's been a while since i posted on here but i've had great success using the information you have suggested for my other army lists so i'm back again since i have a couple questions.

So the army that i'm working on is going to be a Counts as Night Lords Army but uses Blood Angels rules. I got the idea when i was screwing around and made a night lord jump marine and put the Tyranid Gargoyle wings on him. To say the least he came out looking pretty bad ass and i need help finishing out the odds and ends of the list. Here's what i came up with so far. I want to try and have stuff in there that's themey as well as effective too.

1850

Mephiston Lord of Death

5 Space Marines - Melta Gun, Sergeant, Combi Melta
Razorback - Lascannon, Twin Linked Plasma gun

5 Space Marines - Melta Gun, Sergeant, Combi Melta

10 Assault Marines - 2x Melta gun, Sergeant, Power fist
1 Sanguinary Priest - Jump Pack, power weapon

10 Assault Marines - 2x Flamers, Sergeant, Hand Flamer
1 Sanguinary Priest - Jump Pack, power weapon


That basically takes care of all of the troops and since there are SO many choices in the army i dont' know where to go from here. Dreadnoughts? Terminators? where

D

I'd recomend takeing the Power Weapons off the Priests, they are 1 wound IC without an invulnerable save, they will be targeted and killed first...

This next part I'm not 100% sure of but I dont think you can take a special weapon on a 5 man tactical squad, I'm pretty sure it has to be a full 10 man squad before you get acess to special weapons, but I'd have to check my codex.

As far as what you should add... I'm a big fan of dreadnoughts, but you have alot of anti tank in this army already, so I'd be tempted to run some dreads with Blood Tallons...

Drop the power weapon and jump packs from the Preist. Place them in the Razorbacks with the 5 man Assault squads. Catyrpelius is right the 5 man squads have to be assault squads to take the melta gun.

With hte points you saved from the jump pack and Power weapon you can get another preist, and net +30pts

Dreads in drop pods can be nasty alpha strikes, even the Blood talons comes with a Melta gun. And you need something for Horde. The preds can be helpful, but so can baal preds. Either with the FSC or Assault Cannon. Either way I would always go for Heavy bolter sponsons.

As mentioned drop the power weaps from the priests.

OKay so i changed somethings for the list and finished it out getting it to 1850 points. What are some thought s now?

Thoughts??

if your going to run dakkapreds, (Autocannon, HB loadout), you may be better off taking Baal's instead. Assualt Cannon is more versitile then an autocannon. Outflanking also allows for some nice side armour shots.
