Title says it all. I was thinking fiery form as it would give him strength 10 (thinks to the power fist)

I'm having trouble deciding on the second, any suggestions?
thanks

Which Codex are we talking here...? Blood Angels still have some fantastic powers in their Codex, including one that makes you S10 without having to use any particular weapons (so usually you get a S10 Force weapon, for example). Unleash Rage gives you rerolls to hit as well.

If it's possible to take Divination, then Prescience works in close combat too. The vanilla Codex doesn't have access to that but does have Quickening, which if I remember rightly gives you an extra D3 Attacks.

I'm using the DA codex so I have access to all the rulebook powers apart from Biomancy.

Go for divination if you have it. Prescience (twin-linked everything) and fore-warning (4+ invuln) are both very good powers in close combat.

On vanilla Marines I guess go with biomancy and hope to roll Iron Arm or Warp Speed.
