Alright gentleman i do not have any broadsides i apologize they are on my long "to Get " list so give me a little bit of a break , any Advice is helpful . Thanks !

I'm only familiar with tau armies so I'll only comment on your allies.

Ethereals can't be the primary HQ choice. You have to take a crisis suit HQ first per the tau codex. If you don't have a crisis suit model yet and this is just a friendly game then I'd say if your friend is fine then go ahead and get a game in, but I think you'll find in your army's current form the ethereal is more problematic than he's worth. Also the target lock on the firewarrior leader only allows his pulse rifle shot to be fired at a different target than the rest of the squad.

It is a Freindly game with the Etheral so i don't think it will be the bieets issue but i will keep that in mind , i have 9 battle suits . As for my plan with him i was planning on getting him killed so i could get Prefered enemy . Any other Suggestions ?

Considering you're playing blood angels I think trading one firewarrior squad and devilfish for some suits equipped with plasma might be a better idea. Plasma and fusion blaster will cut through his squads like a knife through butter, but you have to be in charge range for the fusion blasters to hit. Plasma and missile pods have good range and still pack some punch. If you go Plasma + Missile Pod think guerrilla tactics. If you go plasma + fusion blaster you'll probably want to deep strike them within range. Both options are pretty good anti-tank as well.

Not sure why you only seem to run two special weapons in the vet squads. Run three.

i don't like uneven numbers , to me 3 is commiting to much into one squad -- so ill swap out a Ten man squad with devil for a battle suit unit with plas , missile -- and Sheild gens that alright /?
