Hey all. I wanted to try using my Blood Angels again with the new formations in Angel's Blade. From what it looks like, the best way is to run a CAD or Baal Strike Force coupled with one or more formations from the Angel's Blade list. I would love to try out an actual Angel's Blade meta detachment but the core choices are either underwhelming or point heavy in my opinion. Either way, here is what I'm thinking:

Blood Angels 1850

Baal Strike Force

HQ:

Librarian
-ML 2, Jump Pack

Sanguinary Priest
-Bolt Pistol, Power Sword

Troops:

Scout Squad x5
-Sniper Rifle x4, Missile Launcher

Tactical Squad x10
-Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Hand Flamer, Drop Pod

Elites:

Death Company Squad x10
-Power Fist x2, Jump Packs

Terminator Assault Squad x5
-THSS x3

Heavy Support:

Stormraven Gunship
-Twin-linked Lascannon, Twin-linked Multi-melta

Lucifer Armoured Task Force

Techmarine
-Jump Pack

Land Raider Redeemer

Baal Predator
-Flamestorm Cannon, Heavy Flamer Sponsons

Baal Predator
-Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Predator
-Twin-linked Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons

The sanguinary priest will join the assault terminators in the LR while the Librarian will join the DC. The techmarine will have to use his JP to keep up with tanks on the board. I plan to try outflanking with at least the baal predator sporting flamers if not both. It's a pretty aggressive list that will be trying to table the opponent more than anything.
