Having not seen blood angels in action, what i can tell you in terms of specifics is limited, however, as a DA player,i can tell you what kills me dead. For Deathwing: buckets of dice. Lots and lots of STR 4-5 shooting is easy enough to come by, and if you're going with low STR, low AP fire, then storm shields become pointless, and every time i roll a 1 on a save thats 44-49 points gone. If you have AP2 melee, you can charge shooty DWT units, cause with their power fists they go last and you can kill them first. Don't charge DWK units or hammernators, 3++ is good times, and DWK are not unwieldy. Basically just kite them all day long with shooty.

If I'm playing greenwing, I'm bringing the dakka banner, thats just how it's done. Therefore, either use lots and lots of 36-48" firepower (PC, HB, ML, LC, AC, etc), or try to get things into melee ASAP with my dakkapole unit and kill that thing dead, then it's a fair fight for the rest of the game.
