So i was looking through my buddies blood angel codex and I've always been a fan of the death company as a unit so i decided to make a list focused on as many death company possible while still having a somewhat balanced list. This list is probably no tournament winner and is mainly just cause I like the idea of a army of death company sweeping down field.

HQ
Astorath 220

Troop
10 Tactical marines 170
-flamer
-missle

15 death company 595

-3 hand flamer
-power fist &weapon

-10 death company 270
-2 hand flamer

4 death company dreadnought 680
- all with heavy flamer
- all equipped with dual blood talons

Heavy
5 devastators 250
- 2 missles
- 2 lascannon
-Razorback with TL lascannon



The idea is pretty straight forward, drop two of my four dreadnoughts into the enemies deployment first turn, then when to other two come in i can hopefully deep strike em where needed. the tac marines will be split into combat squads if the game has objectives, and sit back to hold em while taking pot shots with their missiles. the death company will rush up field and do what they do, hopefully not getting to shot up. while devastators give me some anti-armour. Astorath is purely there for his ability to let me take multiple units of death company and I have no clue how good he is game wise. So do you guys thinks its a viable list.

very interesting. what lists will you be facing in 3K? also its not amazngly competitve, with 2 scoring squads. although should be fun. you could drop one dread to get 2 pods for tac marines. then leave tac marines out of the pods, and let the 3 reamaing dreads all come in turn 1. then turn 2 the empty pods come in, and do nothing i think it would be more eefectiove than 2 dreads turn one, then 2 more turn 2+

Im not playing any army in particular its mainly just for fun with some friends. i know its lacking in the scoring units which is why i figure if objectives are being used i can combat squad em giving me 4 scoring units, instead of two. though the idea of three dreads entering first turn is appealing i can just picture the mayhem their blood talons will cause. though i feel for fun two dreads are enough to cause a distraction first turn till the wave of death company can reach em and lend support and then i can drop in my dreads as support for the support to hopefully slaughter everyone in a fit a glee.
