Drop pod 1
Sternguard (8) - 3 combi melta
Brother Corbulo
SM - Librarian - Smite/WarpGate

Drop pod 2
Resularch - inferus pistol
DC (8) - Bolters - Power axe

Devestators x 4 ML
Devestators x 4 ML
Devestators x 4 ML
SM- Thunderfire Cannon
SM - Scouts - Hellfire bolter - Telion

RAS (10) Power Axe, 1x melta 1x flame

Saguniary Guard - 1 x PF
Priest JP

Basic idea devastators, TF cannon and scouts/telion sit in cover laying down hurt. 2 droppods with some punch, RAS for late objective grabbing and SG+Priest as counter assault element.

Alternatively I guess I could keep it pure BA, switch the Resularch for a chaplin, nix telion, TF and grab 4 attack bikes with MM....(just noticed that chaplin would result in swapping the SG out for something else... bah)

What does RAS stand for?

Regular Assault Troops, we Blood Angel players have many different types ><

Vanilla librarian can not travel in the BA drop pod. They probably can but I haven't seen the rule.

I would get an ADL with quadgun. Antiflyer and some cover.

I would get a priest for the dev. squads.

Given the drop pod thing, I would think about 10 vanilla sternguard with a librarian in termy armour and SS, so you can land and combat squad and take out two targets.

You only have 2 scoring units[maybe 4], which isn't enough.
Some good ideas in your list though, also I would play 1999+1 as you haven't a strong enough army for the double FoC.

Correct. Battle Brothers cannot embark in allied transports.

1,747 points

Recluch+DC w/bolters
Corbulo+stern
Pretty straight forward get close shoot and be annoying. Corbs is the new lord of cheese.

Deveststors + scouts + priest on objective.

Tactical either combat squad if I need bodies on my objective or toss them all up front as well. (never thought I would suit up a tactical squad again...)

Assault squad just for objective grabbing.

Maybe I'm just OCD... but I can't stand the way you formatted your list! its too long! AHHHH!!!!

Looks better to me this way -

HQ- Rechlusiarch (Infernus Pistol) - 145 pts

Elite- Brother Corbulo - 105 pts
Elite - 10 man sternguard squad (PW on sarge, 3x combi melta, 1x combi flamer) in drop pod - 320 pts

Troops - 5 Scouts (missile launcher, camo cloaks) - 100 pts

Heavy - 6 man dev squad (3x ML, 1x PC) - 151 pts
Heavy - 5 man dev squad (3x ML) - 120pts

That said, I think you have too much variety in your list. Its like one of everything... pick a focus and narrow it down a bit.

Its the formatting from the army builder program on my phone

I agree I often go for redundancy over a bit of everything (Used to run three units only, RAS, Attack Bikes and Devestators). Though Sternguard, DC and Tactical squads in Droppods are quite similar to each other... but with different paint schemes and advantages. One is a little better at shooting, one at punching and one at holding a objective

I could also drop the RAS squad to beef up my Scouts... but from my prior list it seemed my issue was the lack of scoring units. Also with the remaining 250 points I could grab a second RAS + random upgrades. I think it would be easier to view if I format it as such.

Here moved point limit up to 2000 for a fair comparison.

Yes! Finally somebody that formats it like that. And to the OP follow his advice.
