Hi i have been running blojavascript:emoticon('');od angels for a little while now and am unable to win or do any good. im wondering if the direction im going in is the wrong one. could someone give me advice on tactics or perhaps what runs well. any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated

Posting your list would be helpful.

The short version is that the Blood Angels codex sucks now. It's probably in the bottom three or so. Partial solutions are to avoid expensive units, especially assault-oriented stuff like Death Company and Sanguinary Guard.

If you have the models, try overloading your list with AV13 and Razorbacks. Mech BA isn't as good as it was in 5th, but it's probably better than the alternatives. Also consider using your BA units as allies with an IG primary.

What MrEconomics said. Be prepared for sub 45% win rates, or worse, depending on how fluffy you want to make your BA list.

Mech Angels is the way to go for the time being. But don't skimp out on Assault Marines, even with all the changes to assault and the addition of overwatch, Assault Marines are still great, when used carefully. I normally load out my army with a couple of Assault Squads with Melta Guns and Power Swords/Fists joined by a Librarian and Sanguinary Priest, a Devestator Team, then I max out Baal Predators and Predators.

So yeah, other than AV13 spam, I would also recommend Guard allies. Battle cannons ahoy!
