antention all experienced blood angel players this is a call for help. Please think of an epic assault blood angel army list that has lots of jump backs, the good chaplain and maybe other things like bikes, tacticals and dreadnoughts in drop pods.

The problem is that the elements you've listed are pretty contradictory. You just can't fit them all in a single list and expect it to succeed.

At 1850 I have
Libby, jp shield, rage
2 Priests, jp, mb
10 asm, 2 melta, pf
10 asm, 2 melta, pf
10 asm, 2 melta, pf
10 asm, 2 melta, pf

chaplain, tacs, bikes(not AB) and podding dreads are subpar

oh sorry forgot to say its 1500, soz

Remove 1 assault squad and some gear.

Vasara@ We disagree yet again.

I have a full bike squad with Priest on bike. In the last tournament I played, it took a Grey knight player 3 turns of shooting before he killed the unit. his whole army (Draigowing) targeted it every turn due to the rest of my army hiding and not providing LOS.

That squad is extremely difficult to kill due to T5 and FNP. Of course I would not recommend it in 1500 due to the cost.

@OP There are alot of DoA and jumper lists in the amry list forum, take a look, see what you like and make your own.

Then post it on here for C&C

@jbunny: Wouldn't have it any other way

The full bikesquad cost 360pts with, mm, mg, and a priest on bike. It can turboboost and is very hard to kill via shooting small arms fire. It hates long fangs. It doesn't score. It can shoot its relentless tvinbolters but afterwards then it doesnt get 3+ cover. Normal biker also has only bolt pistol and no ccw so its got 24 attacks on charge after 20 bolter shots and 2 melta.

assault squad costs 310 with2 melta, pf and priest. It also has 12" movement and same armor value. it can't usually get the 3+ cover. in charge it has 32 attacks on charge (with 3 pf) after 9 bolter shots and 2 melta. it can score.

Bikes are not bad. Assault marines are just better in BA codex.

True, Long Fangs hurt bikes, but they hurt assault marines just as bad. And I completely agree with the cost. However, the one thing bikes have going for them is they can tie up units and tarpit none death star units. The assault marines can't do that as easily.

I do agree Chaplins (HQ or Elite) and drop podding Dreads are subpar. The only time I recommend a Chaplin is if your running the DC, and most of the time I would say either don't bother with the Chaplin or just get LeMartes.
