With the new Blood Angels codex coming out soon Ive been thinking about what could happen to our Descent Of Angles special rule. As chapter tactics go I see Furious Charge becoming an automatic USR for everyone, but I wonder what may happen to DOA. I was thinking it might look like this, units with jump packs are grouped in with drop pods. They can come in first turn like DPs, but aren't as accurate. I was thinking modify there deep strike by the highest Initiative in the unit like BS does with scatter. These units WOULD NOT be able to assault the turn they landed. It would just help with threat saturation on the Alpha Strike.

Yes? No? Maybe so?

Heck, why not just go all out and have DoA let you assault the turn you land? It's not like it would completely unbalance and ruin the entire game...

MEQ + jet packs = suck x 2. I've had more luck with DPs. BAs are supposed to be THEE assault, jet pack army. You know, the whole angel-winged-primarch-thingy. Giving them some alpha strike, WHILE maintaining the jet pack movement in later turns would help.

And as for wrecking the game, and being OP...well if you cant handle tightly packed MEQ with boltpistols...i guess you're not TOTALLY incompetent...
