I play blood angels, love the look of a tech marine with the servitors. But I guess I'm having problems seeing the tactical side of having one with you. I could MAYBE see if you were running a highly mechanized list but...I don't see the point of having him other than maybe with the cannon?
Which is actually the question, why take a techmarine!?

And yet Tech Marines are unable to follow a Mech list to apply bandages. The real point to them is Bolster Defenses, and that's dubious. The short answer is don't take them. You can do mildly interesting things when they have Independent Character, like in Codex: Blue Space Marines.

Is the cannon worth anything either?

Blood Angels are unable to take Thunderfires as far as I know. Thunderfires are great for fitting lots of fire at a low point level, but they don't really scale well.

Ugh, well now I'm at a loss as to what I need to make my army better =/

Transports, generally. Failing that, Meltaguns. Post your list in the Army List section and you'll probably get help.

I did, and no one answered lol I don't have point values just a bunch of stuff I kind of felt synergized

There's your issue. It isn't an army list if you can't use it to play a game of 40k.

Hey Garron, check your army list post, I've mentioned some stuff there
