In the wake of the new codex, which i haven't actually read yet, I just wanted to see if there is anyone out there who still cares about the Blood Angels.

Here's a list i've been playing. Had mixed results. Its always fun to play with but i think that it is a list which will take a lot of practice to perfect.

HQ
Mephiston

Elite
Furioso, Blood talons
5 TH/SS terminators

Troops
2 x 5 Assault squad
w/ razorback, LC/TL PG

5 Assault squad
w/ razorback

Heavy Support
2 x Stormraven, TL MM, TL LC

Fortification
Ageis. Comms relay

The assault squads start on the board turn one. They hide out of sight or at least behind the Agies. The 4+ save has been awesome in games i've played. Comms relay usually means 2nd turn arrival of the terminators in one stormraven and Mephiston and the Furisoso in the other stormraven. Then use stormravens and the Razorbacks to open transports or take down tanks/ key targets before the 3rd turn charge of Mephiston, the terminators and the Furioso. Assault squads move onto objectievs.

What do you all think?
Does anyone care now that the new C:SM is out??

I totally care about the BAs...I just don't care about the nerfs to Assault that practically crippled our Chapter. Will look through the list later (as I'm at the office right now =D)

Good stuff
. look forward to reading your c&c

I'm assuming this is for 1500?

The list looks.. Nifty. I don't feel that the Comms relay is needed, as you only have 2 things you need in reserve - the Stormravens.

To tell you the truth, this feels like a very, very 5th edition style list. It's not the best BA combo by far, as it normally shows a low model count. This coupled with no Sanguinary Priests makes it even harder to survive.

In a meta where a cover save and a mehtul bawks doesn't help the marines inside, I don't think MSU works anymore for BA.

Just my 2c.

Yeah 1500 points

I think the comms relay is really needed as the low model count is such an issue. Need to be guaranteed that the rest f the army will come in and support asap.

I understand what you are saying about it being a 5th edition list and that is probably true. I like to play a more assault orientated game as i have got sick of the sitting back and shooting tactics.

Thanks for the comment
