So I have been playing with vanilla marines with vulkan and pedro in a few games and its been a lot of fun but having 400pts in 2 characters and like 1k points in 30 sternguard is tough to play with so thought I'd come back to my usual blood angels and created the below list

Libby with blood lance and shield

Brother Corbulo (or 2 normal sang priests)
10 Sternguard, 8 combi meltas, 2 melta guns drop pod
10 Sternguard, 8 combi plasma, 2 plasma guns, drop pod

10 death company, drop pod
10 assault marines, 2 melta guns, drop pod
10 assault marines, 2 melta guns, drop pod
10 assault marines 2 melta guns, drop pod
5 assault marines, flamer, drop pod (libby and sang priest/corbulo will go here)

Thats 7 pods so 4 first turn and 3 in reserve, should get at least 1 a turn, sternguard will go down first letting of their combi weapons (I could mix in 5 combi flamers, or another 5 combi plasmas into the melta squad) as well as perhaps the death company as they will then have a turn 2 charge, probably would combat squad the sternguard squads and another assault squad so during the first turn they have 7 different units plus drop pods to shoot at.

Opinions?

As long as you're not fighting any flyers you could have a lot of un with this. There is no 'set rule' to lists but I would imagine you have a set idea as to the enemies you're fighting. Smash enough Tau fire warriors to pieces and it could be dire times indeed.

I think it would be a fun list, but definitely vulnerable to fliers.

However, with 4 scoring units you might simply be able to ignore them if you're alpha strike goes well enough.

Thats the plan really, drop down and take out death start units with the sternguard, they cannot be ignored by the enemy but thats all they are there for, to dish out a mean alpha strike then to soak up fire and die, the death company are also of the same ilk, I could have up to 7 scoring units depending on the mission

Plan for flyers is to ignore them really.

If you wanted ridiculous carnage, you could attach dante to 10 jump pack DC and deep strike with no scatter? How does 55 attacks sound? Pricey but yay gods!

They would have to deploy on the board though, or something else would as all the above list is in drop pods so they dont count towards the reserve rule. I do have 10 JP DC but three have power fists, that is a expensive unit!

If your opponent goes first, I think this list would count as tabled.

Nope, end of every game turn if nothing on board for one player then its tabled. How do you think demons play?

Excellent point. I did manage to table a demon army on turn 1 thanks to large blasts once :-)
