51 infantry.
10 Razorbacks of varying type.
6 predators of varying type.

Cut what you can, more of those Razorbacks should be Las-Plas. You have a huge amount of dakka, but insufficient antitank.

11 melta guns
3 TL assault cannons
3 TL lascannons
3 Autocannons


Why would i want las-plas?
The TL lascannon on its own makes for better tank hunting, dont see the point in dropping it down to 1 and adding in plas.


And what should be cut? there isnt really anything that can be without removing a razor.

I'd pull the lascannons off the three Razorbacks and put them on the Predator sponsors personally. More shots at enemy tanks/transports, and tough to kill at range, imagine facing this army with itself, you'd want to prune those three lascannon razorbacks pretty quickly since you have so much front AV eleven they can put the hurt on so easily.

But its mostly a matter of personal preference, it can be argued either way (6 anti transport platforms vs 3 is certainly a compelling point against my argument).

this is an unholy army...

anyway, redundancy is cool. it works well. you loose the first two, you still have one to do damage.

that works with things like vindicators who have one very strong weapon, but are otherwise very underbellied.

I don't know much about BA, but I think with so many tanks you might consider some Repairmen - techmarines with servo harness.

Every time you want to use one of those 11 meltaguns, you're forced to disembark, it's only one shot, and you need to get within 6". The Honor Guard Razorback is going to get nuked turn 1.

3 Lascannons at 2,500 isn't really jack. A friend of mine ran a 2,500 list with 27 meltaguns and 9 Oblits (Up to 9 lascannon shots a turn), with multiple meltaguns per squad. One squad disembarking, but multiple shots.



The reason you want to run Las-Plas, especially as Blood Angels, is because you can move 12 and fire the las OR you can move 6 and fire both. Within 12" that's 3 AP2 shots each, two of which are twin linked.

Who says i want the troops to stay embarked the whole game?
2 units will be held back for objectives, the others just need to get to the lines and do thier job.

So how will it get nuked when there will be so much blocking it?

The whole idea of so many vehicles is so that i can block the ones i need.
Preds will be making up an AV13 wall in front, that allows the razors to get close enough.

I wouldnt rely on AV11 on its own.

Also, im not a chaos player, so things like oblitz are cheap, therefor he can mass them with ease.
No point comparing 2 different armies.




Solon: No point really.
He costs too many points for little effect with this many vehicles.


Jack: I am thinking about it now, should help a bit more and make it more stable.

Hey man, you wanted advice, I gave it to you. Good luck.

I was just simply stating my points aswell.
Not a case of change the list for me.

Theres just no point comparing 2 different armies.
For example, compare the anti-tank abilities of ork and guard.
