I suppose this list is more for fun and to experiment with some other units and upgrades, but i dont really want it to be a pushover either. Here goes..

HQ

Librarian - 100
5 x Honour guard (Blood champion, 2 x fists, 2 x storm shields) -220
(They will be riding in a razorback provided by an assault squad)

Troops

10 x assault marines (2 x meltaguns, 1 x fist) - 235
10 x assault marines (2 x meltaguns, 1 x fist) - 235
5 x assault marines (No jump packs) - 100
1 x razorback (dozer blade, searchlight) -26

Elites

1 x Sanguinary priest (Jump pack) -75
Furioso dreadnought (Blood talons, drop pod, heavy flamer, searchlight) - 171
6 x Sternguard (2 x meltaguns) - 160
1 x rhino (dozer blade, searchlight) -56

Fast attack

Baal predator (twin-linked assault cannon, dozer blade, searchlight) -121

I make that 1499 points

The thing that is bugging me with this list is I want to drop the 5 assault marines and perhaps replace them with sniper scouts with camo cloaks? but then where would I make up the points to give the honour guard and libby their ride?

It seems pretty much like a typical BA list, but I wanted to add the sternguard and see if they could make any impact in the game as a small effective unit that could go round and perhaps pick off other smaller units? In a rhino they would be quite manoeuvrable and if I advance it behind the bulk of my army they would be able to pick off the scraps whilst the assault squads went after more dangerous foes, so that the assault squads aren't caught up trying to finish off small remains of squads for KP's.

Thoughts? C&C welcome, thanks guys

i think this is an odd list because there are things that blood angels dont normaly use in this also i like your plan by makeing 5 assult marines walk it and give their transport to the command squad but in my opion command squad are over priced to even use them but other then that this list looks fine

the honour guard can take their own razorback, just without the discount.

sorry my mistake, at first it looked like you had two razorbacks

@ cmjs123 : I know that, but where would I find the points to buy one?

@ jbsnv : I wanted to try out how they would do with storm shields, see if it would make them more durable? hopefully if they charge they will be able to hit with 2 fists and a force weapon from the libby, then have 2 storm shields to take any heavy damage back, I would only really send them towards a smaller more elite unit maybe, like the HQ or something.

right now some actual advice lol (ignore first comments)

i think at this point level its hard to mix vehicles and jump units effectively, the main reason being there is not enough saturation on both sides, with only three vehicles on the board they are going to attract all the anti tank very quickly. i also think the honour guard are a bit expensive, you could get assault terminators (4 TH/SS 1 LC) which would do the job better, i would suggest kitting them out for tank hunting (4 meltaguns for example) i wouldnt bother putting meltaguns on the sternguard, combimeltas maybe, as you are taking away the weapons that make them sternguard and making them less effective at their main role, infantry killing at short range.

i understand that you are just looking for a bit of fun with your list and experimenting with different units i think it just needs a little tweaking to make it more effective but still fun and not the usual razorspam or jumpers list.

Thanks, the combi melta's do sound like a good idea now thinking about it

The feedback is appreciated
