This is my best attempt at a somewhat competitive DC spam infantry list. Also will be the last list I post for a while. 66 Infantry, with Astorath giving rerolls to hit and wound to his squad. The scouts and assault squads handle anti tank and DC handles any infantry. Any criticism welcomed.


Blood Angels Strike Force

Astorath - 165

4 x 10 x Death Company - 1160
4 x 2 x Thunderhammers
Jump Packs

2 x 5 x Scouts - 160
Camo cloaks
Missile Launcher

3 x 5 x Assault Squad - 360
3 x 2 x Meltaguns
3 x Combi-melta
3 x Melta Bombs

Total - 1845

Is there any real benefit to taking a Thunder Hammer over a Power Fist when it comes to DC? If something survives one turn against them, it wasn't meant to die. Seems like a Power Fist would be a cheaper and just as effective option. Your Melta Drop Squads are pretty good, though Melta Bombs are a bit of a waste, IMO. Honestly, though, I don't really see much you could do to with those points.

Or I could drop 1 unit of death company for lemartes, the angels wings chaplain and 5 more DC. 3 units of Death Company with rerolls and lemartes to mow down infantry, angels wings to deep strike easier. Still have 63 infantry and 2 extra squads have rerolls.

Astorath - 165
Chaplain - 115
Angels Wings

15 x Death Company - 395
2 x Power Fists
Jump Packs

2 x 10 x Death Company - 560
2 x 2 x Power Fists
Jump Packs
Lemartes - 130

2 x 5 x Scouts - 140
Missile Launcher

3 x 5 x Assault Squad - 345
3 x 2 x Meltaguns
3 x Combi-melta

Total - 1850

So nothing on the second list?
