I am starting an army of DC though that's not the entire army I just use the box sets and Paint scheme for them.

so here is the fluff!!

In 901.M41 The Blood Angels chapter set out to destroy a heretical Chaos Warband in the Thaos sub sector. 2 full companies of Death Company were the first to drop inside of the unholy Monastery in order to solve 2 problems 1 raze the heretics and destroy their base of operations or should this fail tie up some loose ends with the Death Company and discontinuing to be a problem.When the Death Companies made planet fall they became overtaken by the Black Rage slaughtering not only the Chaos agents but thousands of loyal citizens to the Imperium, stating that when Chaos obtains any planet the entire populace was corrupt and so the Death Companies went on a killing spree covering them selves in the blood of the loyalists and heretics alike. At this time the Blood Angels were requesting guidance on the matter from Baal but a Warp storm and appeared and the BA fleet was forced to evacuate the system leaving behind the Death Companies to deal with the storm with out communications,transport,or restraint. then in 903.M41 the Warp storm had passed and the BA go to investigate what they find is disturbing. all 3 planets in the sector were ablaze further scans shows millions gathered by the death company in belief that they were being evacuated only to be slaughtered by the blood thirsty space marines. By this time the verdict had been proclaimed the Death Companies on the planets in Thaos were to be abandoned leaving no way off the planet.

not even 2 years after this happens a unwary Imperium transport barge lands on the planet Tanis in the Thaos sub sector the remaining Death Company took advantage of this and slaughtered the crew and looted it as their vessel to continue thier quest to kill all of those who the Emperor deems Damned.

The Death Company are never deployed solo...
They don't make up companies like the rest of the chapter does.

Honestly, throughout that entire text and title you didn't spell 'Angels' correctly once?

That made no sense at all...

As unofficial fluff should be in Dakka Fiction for further discussion rather than the main Fluff forum.

Moving thread...

Well fluff =/= rules...
I can make an all Blood Claw army which would be on the lower end of unlikely in the fluff.
Still all DC are fun in-game. I paired up with a BA player running it, and frankly had little to do but walk behind them gunning down anything left.

Ok I think we got side tracked remember I am not playing just DC in fact I have no DC in my army they just have the paint scheme.

That's fine.
however, in your fluff it says '2 companies of Death Company' They aren't deployed like that, they are deployed in relatively small numbers so that the BA present can deal with them if they go all mental and such.
Also i don't think they have enough of their senses in order to hijack a ship.

That would explain why priests have to sedate them while traveling but hey get a nice frenzy going and more DC might join the fray who knows it might happen

Probably not with the scenario you're thinking of...
