Lib with terminators to hopefully duel role. Not sure if its the right psychic powers for lib though. They will come on in storm raven near the locator beacon in scout squad- only used these for the extra 100 points with a locator beacon, can anyone give me any better ideas? The land speeders should be fun if they don't get blown up as 6 template weapons must hurt and for 180 points I thought it is effective and quite cheap.
Anyone with feedback welcome, I am not sure wether the list really goes for me it's lacking something. But hopefully it's an improvement on my last list.
Thanks Zak.

I personally would skip the Land Speeders and one Priest, to free upp 255 pts. For those points, I would bring a Land Raider Crusader with Meltagun (260 pts though) to carry the Terminators.
The reason for this is that you may want the Terminators to be able to charge the turn they unmount. (Bringing them in the Stormraven will force them to stay in the Stormraven the turn it enters the battlefield - which is quite dangerous).

I do know that some people disagrees with me, but that just my thought

Or even skip the Terminators for another Stormraven Gunship.

Flamer speeders have the problem of being assaulted by survivors. And being shot down before they can shoot. For speeders, I really prefer the MM or typoon configs. Attack bikes are even better, however.

Foot slogging terminators won't work, even at 1500. Take the plunge for the LR and build your list around them, or ditch them.

I don't like stormravens at 1500 points, because of the reserve thing. But to each their own.

Thanks guys. Martel732 thanks for all your help, I've been reading a few forums about blood angels and your always helping people with ideas and giving good opinions. It's really good to have someone like you around - keep up the good work!

Just keep in mind I'm not trying to be overly cynical, but people need to temper their expectations for BA in 6th, or they will get very frustrated. I've already seen dice fly once because BA can't live up to what they could in 5th.

Also keep in mind shooty terminators for BA have added utility if you give them a priest because then they get two 5++ saves vs plasma and other sub STR 8 AP 2 weapons, which is statistically between a 4++ and 3++ save, so it's like a slightly gimped storm shield. The shooty terminators can have a heavy flamer option and beam in with a teleport homer or marker beacon. It's a way to do some damage on the DS turn, and still get some power fists in people's faces. Remember that for most purposes, the power fist is just as good as the TH.
