What you rekon?

This might work. You'll need good positioning or your opponent will blow your troops off the board early on killing off your scoring potential.

What you thinking then? My well thought out plan was jus bomb down the middle straight at em.
2 DC in razors, assault squad with Astorith n priest following tucked up behind and I was pondering whether
or not to hav 3rd DC in raven with dread or jus tail behind assault and give them some anal protection.
All advice much appreciated.

ok my personal tactic on this would be slowly advance and shoot what you can

dev shoot at what ever they want, razorbacks shoot at what they are good at shooting ( depending on weapon )

storm raven drops your guys in when it comes in on the enamys side and assult, while the storm raven rips stuff appart

dread give it blood talons

Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to print that off and wipe my arse with it

wut?

Oh sorry, I thought you were taking the piss. It's just that when I asked for advice I meant to help me out, not land me in the bottom of a public toilet.

Calm down, please.

This is meant to be a friendly forum for discussion of games of toy soldiers.

... Just a heads up i advise not being sarcastic/rude with people who are trying to help you...
On that note, am i reading this right in that you have 3 squads of 6 death co?
I would bring the death co in the raven, then try to kill their anti-air with your 2 sqauds and the jumpers already on the field. I think the one problem with this (or the one main one) is that for an assaulty-list you have pretty much no AI...
What are the weapons on the raven? Also, HB on the razorbacks arent great...
I can advise more once I know more. Also, seriously, try not to be a dick to those helping you out, even if its not good advice.

Yer 3 squads of 6 DC, I'm a bit prang about putting too much in the raven because I have lost 300+ worth of DC in there before :(
The raven has lascannons, multi melta and the hurricane bolters. The dread definitely going in there though and tbh I pick n choose talons/blood fists depending what I'm up against. What is AI btw?
Like I said my general mindset is bomb str8 down the middle looking for blood, I am a blood angel after all. Scouts and Devs hopefully draw some fire whilst they are chipping away at the enemy.
Not too fussed about scoring units, I'm here to maim and kill.
Razor backs mainly for transport and cover.
Thanks for your contribution.

Ok. The problem with not putting the DCs in the raven is you only have 2 other transports. If youre not gonna do it, give them bolters and run them around shooting stuff. Assuming this isnt a tournament list picking/choosing should be fine. AI is anti-infantry (at least in this context).
I advise being a little more reserved than just shoving them down the middle, as if they are smart and have decent guns you will get hammered. Even the blood angels make tactical decisions: That is what Dante is famous for.
If you just want to kill stuff alright. I think there's a fairly good all-DC list on the GW website.
I guess this could work. I personally dont like the special characters but they can work.

Oh yer they all (DC) got boltguns. I have to use a special character, it is mandatory for Rolf Harris (especially when they painted by Rolf). I know where your coming from. My mate plays a gak hot guard army that spanks my bottom on the regz! I was also kind of looking to give more targets so he can only anhilate 6 guys at a time rather than 10 or so. I know it a bit duff duff tactically but I have succumbed to the red thirst myself and might as well make the most of my feel no pain and fearless mo fo's lol. Guess I try it out and if I get ruined I go check out the one you mentioned. Cheers for the feedback.
