Not sure why but wanted to have a 'psychic' list. So! Comment away please.

COMMENTS PLEASE! CHEERS!

Get some sanguinary priests for your troops!

This list is actually probably interesting to play. Note that any good Eldar list will just make all your guys' heads explode though! The Nids are bad for that, too!

I don't mind getting wiped out against mates, it's more just a tactic to see what kind of impact librarians have in battle, then probably play around with it after. I don't see that many Librarian Dreads in many lists.

It would take a larger game probably, but I like the idea of libby dreadnoughts with psychic scream coming in drop pods.

Again, though, this is a no go vs Eldar and Nids. I really hate the "roll 3 dice" mechanic for psykers. It makes the game very unfun if you have psykers.

This is the good Ol' Blood Lance list. If everything runs Blood Lance, you get to try to zap a lot of units. 6th Ed can make it even more fun if you go with a double-FOC list, use cheapo scouts for troops.

Nothing wrong with your DP's on the DC units, they just don't get the discount like Assault Marines.

Are blood lances really that much better than a lascannon? You can get lascannons a lot cheaper and not have your head explode vs Eldar.

I'm not sure if one is better than the other, they are just different. Lascannon has range but Blood Lance doesn't need to roll to hit. I'm not sure where Lascannon would suit the list.

I don't really associate lascannons with blood angels aswell.

My 1500 pt list has 5 of them. They are really, really nice especially vs lists like dark eldar.

does blood lance automatically get the "lance" type? it is a lance, if so that made it beastly.

It is a lance, but it's range is poor and it won't function well vs Eldar or Tyranids. And there is now deny the witch. I'm not really sold on blood lance at all.

Yes, S8 AP1 Lance.

So if it auto hits, and you drop 3 of these near light tanks, you're hopefully having a total laugh right?

Yeah, depends how your opponent deploys. Usually against a drop pod/deep strike list, the easiest deployment is castling up. If so and you drop pod Furioso Librarians nearby, it'll be like a bowling alley. It's super gimmicky and a one trick pony though.

O boy the day people start complaining about Eldar being unfun to play against...... Must have been living in a box the end of 5th and duration of 6th

Though on the topic at hand I once say a similar list like this in 5th against a tau player, the BA player spammed fear the darkness everywhere suffice to say, the board hugging Tau saw it very fit to run the hell of the board first turn and things went downhill from there after losing a mass of his army first turn

So it could be fun.playing mass psyker give it a whirl

I just find that mechanic unfun. That's all. Runes of Warding.

LOL, that's great. Fear is pretty stellar against Xenos armies. I guess spamming means you will fail a test sooner than later.

That is pretty funny. Now they can deny the witch, though.

Why are you so worried about Deny the Witch? It's like saying to not shoot at Space Marines because they have an armor save.

It's just another point of failure that didn't exist in 5th edition. It's also why I prefer buffs to offensive psyker abilities in 6th in general.

It's a really minor point compared to running into a list with real anti-psyker tech.

Gotcha. I agree there, I usually go with buffs over offensive abilities as well.

This list is going to be sick but that only thing that I do not like is the DC dread.

DC Dread is AV 12 in the front..... makes it very meh to me.

I suppose if I got rid of the DC dredd + DP I could go for:

Baal Predator
Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Dozer Blade
Hunter-Killer Missile

Because at the end of the day, everyone loves a red tank going dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka at everything.

Personally, I always get an auto/las pred before a Baal, but that's just my philosophy. The auto/las can kill targets that the lower strength Baal weapons can't. This list is already hard on infantry. This also helps with the AV 13 spam a bit. If you can fit it in, don't forget the deathwind launcher, it makes the drop pod a legitimate target to absorb more fire.

I would personally grab some more scoring troops instead of the dc, incase it comes downs to objectives and assault marines aren't too bad with jump packs or reduced cost transport.

This is how the DC get drummed out of every list I make it seems, even they they really good at killing.

BA Codex says for transport options in the death company squad "if the squad does not have jump packs it can select any designated transport from the list" - so either a drop pod, rhino, razorback, land raider and the codex also says that the DC dreadnought can select the drop pod as its transport.

I think if anything you should just treat DC as more of an ELITE unit anyway even if they are troops. Keep real troops on objectives and leave the black rage to tear the hell out of everything else!
