So, I want to try double Stormraven Blood Angels, and my local league is 1750 right now. I think the concept would probably work better at 1850 or 2000, but 1750's my option right now. Here's what I'm looking at:

Reclusiarch: 130
Leading 7 Death Company, with 1 fist, 1 thunder hammer: 195
in Stormraven with Extra Armor: 215
Also carrying Dreadnought with Multimelta: 105

Librarian with Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius: 100
leading 5 assault terminators, 1x LC, 4x TH & SS: 220
in Stormraven with Extra Armor: 215
Also carrying Furioso with Blood Talons: 125

5 Assault Marines with packs, flamer: 105
5 Assault Marines without packs, meltagun: 110
in Las/Plas Razorback w/dozer: 60
5 Assault Marines without packs, meltagun: 110
in Las/Plas Razorback w/dozer: 60

Thoughts?

That's pretty rock-y. Have you gotten a chance to try it out yet?

I feel like it is very 'Can I take down two Stormravens in one turn? Yes? I win. No? I get eaten'

I like it from a 'Go big or go home' standpoint too. You have two very hard-hitting packages that, if things go right, win you the battle. If not, well you looked cool doing it.

I've run a similar list with a Librarian dread as opposed to the Multi-melt dread and he seems to be near priceless on several occasions due to his hood and ability to bring useful powers. I personally would look into another Furioso for the added AV 13.

No sang priest makes me a sad panda but at 1750 points I understand why they are absent.

This type of list is a good time to add corbulo when points allow (reroll a reserve roll or a cover save on a SR, for example).

Dreads without EA in storm raven. If they get stunned when the SR is destroyed they die. Not a good thing. Which sucks for the lib dread.

I ran a mech angels this weekend with a dual raven at 1500. I ran one empty and the other carried a furioso. They worked great. The key was I had 4 Rasorbacks and 1 Vindicator on the table so there were alot of targets avaliable.. Both lasted untill turn 3 when 1 went down and the other lasted the rest of the game. Don't be afraid to use those Bloodstrike missles. They have a 72" range and I used 5 of them on turn 1 to take out priority targets.

Looks like a solid list, my concern would be the squads of five assault marines, might be a little small, maybe combine one squad in a rhino, save some points there, and get even more assault marines?
