Howdy!

Just experimenting with an idea for Blood Angels, going for somewhat of a mobile gunline with a few deep striking assets

HQ: Saguinary Priest, Jump pack, Valour's Edge

Elites: Death Company Dreadnought, stock with Drop Pod

Elites: Terminator Assault Squad - Company Standard, 3x thunderhammers with shields, 1x lightning claws, captain with thunderhammer and shield. Transport: Landraider Redeemer with multi melta

2x Troops: Tactical squads, each 10 man, with heavy flamer and flamer, sergeant has teleport homer, lightning claw, combi-flamer. Transports: Razorbacks with Twin-linked Assault cannons

Fast Attack: Assault Squad, 2x meltagun, sergeant has combi melta and lightning claw. Using Jump packs

2x Heavy Support: 2 Baal Predators with Flamestorm cannon, heavy flamers

Heavy Support: Devastator Squad, 4 missile launchers with flakk


Idea is to put up a line of fast tanks to push fowards, and have the dreadnought deep strike in the back lines as a distraction. This will present a ton of armor for the enemy first turn, enough to give the tanks time to roll up into close range, where flamer templates will start laying down. Meltaguns from the assault squad, as well as assaulting thunder hammer terminators, the melta dreadnought, and devastators should be able to crack tanks and let the flamers get at the contents.

I've never made a list similar to this, so feedback is appreciated!

This list gets much better with Lucifer armored task force.

I agree with Martel on LATF. Razorback's have a model limit of 6 so you can't really squeeze a 10man unit inside.

And between podding DC dread and fragioso, I'd always choose fragioso. podding an assault dread atleast when it's the only one is always risky to just get immobilized or destroyed before it can make it points worthy. You really need to tar pit the biggest threat before the dread arrives if you want to get it perform. IMHO SR is less risky than podding a assault dread if you can tar pit or destroy the anti-air threat(s) before the SR arrives.

Here's my pennies...

If you do want to stick with razorbacks, las/plas so MUCH better for BA than assault cannon.
