Main strategy should be fairly obvious - I'm going to blitzkrieg the hell out of my opponent. Turn 1, Sternies drop down and either fries a vehicle, or rapid fires 10 AP3 shots into a MEQ that can hurt my tanks. Land Raider moves up, with vindicators moving behind it, shelling important targets (ie chimeras for easy FB, exposed squads with little cover, battle tanks that are too close for comfort), and the LR attempts to hit one or two units with its las-cannons. Turn two, Most of my Angels arrive due to descent of angels special rule, and attempt to snipe more vehicles. At this point, it is likely that my sternies are dead (if they suicide killed a tank), and I continue to push with my LR and Vindicators (assuming they survived, which is likely as I would kill their best AV with the sternguards. If they dont finish off the sternguards by next turn they procede to either rip open a nother tank, or open fire with hellfire rounds on an MC/horde, as the rest of the army procedes to drop down and rape

Get a libby instead of the Reclusiarch. I might be worth getting shield of sangiunius and getting the vindicators within shielding range of the LR.

That is a great idea, the librarian can also give the squad prefered enemy, so with ws 5 and str 5, they are rerolling half their misses and failed to wounds. Not as good as getting the charge off with the Reclusiarch, but gives them some defense, as well as making the LR even tankier.

And the vindicators can get the love too if within 6" of the LR hull. Unleash rage would be a good compliment in this case.

Yeah, thanks a bunch. That solved the one problem I thought i had with the list (bunch of DE try to feth up my tanks first turn if they steal initiative. Only problem is that lib is worse at challanges and cant be used to soak up AP3+ weapons. But I think this may be a decent trade off. Updated da list.

You just deny the challenge. He can't fight, but the blood thirsty lunatics can. My BA almost never accept challenges. I just often have 3 or more equivalent crappy ICs with power axes in my main ASM unit. My opponent is free to choose which guy with an axe can't fight.

Even better - 1/3 of the squad has a power weapon, two of which will likely inflict instant deathon your average commander, which luckily will hit last after all the look out, sirs.

Only the power fists, but I see what you are saying. That's still 8 power fist swings. That's a lot of of invulnerable saves to make. Of course, good commanders won't get anything valuable anywhere close to that LR.

Could always be insane and try to deep strike it, then have it hit a grot and explode.

But with a 12" move and still being able to fire its guns, most ground forces cant even run from a blood angel land raider, hahaha

It's simple. Make them assault a disposable squad. Then shoot or counter assault. DC that aren't assaulting are pretty pedestrian.
