with the new battle force on its way (or as I call it, two units of death company and a rhio) I'll finally have all that I need to make a good blood angels army (my idea of sang guard with dante and termys in land raiders kind of failed as I had about 25 models in a 2000pts game ) and so here's my list so far

HQ

Mephiston

the sanguinor

elites

5 S.guard
chapter banner
2 infernos and one plasma
1 power fist

chaplain

troops

10 death company
3 power weapons
3 power fists
land raider redeemer w/ multi melter

10 assault marines
2 melters
fist

10 assault marines
2 melters
fist

heavy support

devistator squad
4 missile launchers

just wondering what you guys think, what would you add, take away? C&C welcome as always

I think you should either take away Mephiston or the Sang, the two most expensive HQ choices tie up over 1/4th of your whole army. Devastator units should be taken in pairs at least so that your opponent can not easily single them out and focus fire on one unit. Here are the changes I would make in list form:

HQ
The Sanguinor-275

Elites
Sanguinary Guard(IP,PF)-220
Sanguinary Guard(IP,PF)-220

Troops
10xDC(PWx4,PF)-285
LRC(EA)-265

10xAssault Squad(Melta,Melta,Fist)-235
10xAssault Squad(Melta,Melta,Fist)-235

HS
Dev Squad(4xML)-130
Dev Squad(4xML)-130

2 units of Guard and Devs for redundancy, LRC over LRR because the LRC just boasts more firepower. Other options I would consider is taking Dante as an HQ so the Guard are troops, dropping an assault squad and picking up Corubulo for the devs and two jump priests for a unit of Sang Guard and the Assault Marines. Hope that helps!

I agree with Lax35 his list looks really good, I would personally go with dropping an RAS for some jumpy Priests for your Sanguinary Guard and Corbulo, as his second option requires. It would give them some much needed survivability.

Two expensive HQs both not I.Cs so can be easily blown away in time and they don't really add a lot to the army.

Stick to just infernus pistols on the S-Guard, they should also come in paired units.

Expensive Death Co unit, probably costing about 350 points.

Problem you've got is a single tank and rest infantry; that tank is just going to get hit on and then the Death Co will charge at the closest thing to them. You need more armour or ditch armour altogether, also have second thoughts on the Death Co I bet that unit inc the Chaplain is about 450 points.

thanks for the replys guys ^^

yeah, I know my HQ costs a lot but I would be more than happy to have 1/4 of my army invested into those two

I agree I need to have pairs of devs. normally I run 2 squads, one with MLS the other with LC

Lax35: I'm liking that list a lot and I'll try to fit it with my army ^^ thanks man

plenty to considder, I'll be back soon with a new list

Why do you want 1/4 of your army invested in two models which can be easily taken out and zap points from other areas of the army? They're a waste of points. You drop one I.C you can get three Dev units, awesome!

why do I want them? meth and sang are more than capable of doing the same job as 2 extra devs (sang not so much in the way of tanks but in CC its effectivly the same damage)

so far I'm pretty much going with Lax35's list but dropping a unit of guard and 40pts from various units to take meth. I would wright a list out but my mates "borrowing" my codex

How can they do the same job as two Dev squads? I do not follow your logic. Dev squads have 4 missiles, Sanguinus and Mephiston have ZERO missiles so how exactly are they doing the same and same damage? Answer is they're not, will not Sanguinus anyway.

Good luck with your over priced HQ choices
