So, I've got a first Blood Angels list that I'm beginning to be happy with, or at least happy to play with and see whether or not it works. I have what I think is one last question:

If I've got 30 points to spend, would it be better to put a Chapter Banner on my Sanguinary Guard, giving them even more attacks in close combat and making them and any unit near them resistant to morale checks and pinning. Or should I put a Power Fist in my Death Company. My Death Company is currently the only unit that lacks anti-vehicle capability (unless you count having their rhino ram stuff), and giving them a Power Fist would give them two or three Strength 10 attacks a turn and a chance of tearing a tank apart.

Or some other place I should put 30 points. What do you think?

I'm no BA player but it looks like the banner would be much more tempting. Armor is relatively easy to deal with, but more attacks is always welcome as many players go with increased amounts of horde'esk armies.

I'd go for the chapter banner. DC are generally for shredding infantry. If they're attacking vehicles, something's gone wrong. Besides, they have Krak grenades.

Wow. I'm not too surprised that the Chapter Banner is the prevailing opinion - it was my favorite, too, if for no other reason than that I was looking forward to painting it - but I'm surprised that it's so unanimous. Usually with this kind of thing you ask five people and get fifteen opinions.
