Sanguinary Priest w/ Angel Wing, Valour's Edge = 105

5x Terminators w/ 5x SS/TH = 225

10x Tactical Marines w/ Heavy Flamer, Flamer, Combi-Flamer, Drop Pod = 200

5x Assault Marines w/ 2x Plasmaguns, Rhino = 115
5x Assault Marines w/ 2x Meltaguns, Rhino = 105


Trying to fit in as many units as I can lol. By this count I've got 9 units for Objectives. Would have had the Rhino in place of the Drop Pod, but I feel the re-roll scatter and mishap is more important for the Terminators. Maybe I can use the Drop Pod to pin my enemy in place. It's not like they are Ob. Sec. anyway.

Thoughts and suggestions? Leaning away from Death Company (despite being so good) as I want to use my painted stuff and they are quite low on priority (new AoS stuff has hooked me).

If you have two more drop pods (as a Blood Angel player should!) you might use those instead of rhinos.

Why use a Flesh Tearers Strike Force instead of a Combined Arms Detachment? Objective Secured Drop Pods are so good.

The only dead weight here is, unfortunately, the terminators. At 750 points you won't see anything big and slow enough for them to clobber. Replace them with two cheaper units. You probably have some dreadnaughts? They're better at 750 than they are at 1850.

I prefer Rhino's in all honesty. Drop Pods are great at an alpha strike, but that's not my playstyle. Despite playing Flesh Tearers, I prefer attrition in my battles.

We are also playing more Maelstrom in my meta these days, so Rhino's are better in that regard, even better in BA because they are fast. Only reason I have one Drop Pod is because of points and triple Flamer needs to be in range ASAP, lol.

As for the CAD, I wasn't sure what to cut. I could certainly drop the Tacticals to five and have some Scouts, but everytime I do that I lament the fact we don't get LSS.

Allrighty, made a slight edit to the list. I dropped the Combi-Melta and Combi-Plasma to put Valour's Edge onto the Sanguinary Priest. That way he's not just a token support character, he can do something in a challenge.

I agree with axis, why the terminators? They're slow and quite easily avoided. Isn't there something else you could take?

Bikes? Sternguard?

I dig terminators a lot and my meta has quite a lot of Ignore Cover/Ap2, so Storm Shields and FnP should be enough to whether the storm.

I could go Sanguinary Guard though, maybe a Landspeeder too with points saved. I'd have to play test.

Question though, Combi-Flamer or Hand Flamer on TAC sergeant?

I'd say combi because a hand flamers str 3 is less useful IMO. Sang guard would be a good replacement to the termies I think. Keep everything else.

Can your libby have 2 relics? I thought the BA book said only 1 relic per character? Might be wrong, just getting into flesh tearers myself. Dig the list. I would suggest pods and more units over the termies. Switch them for death company
