​Any thoughts or comments are always Welcome

you cant take stalkers as BA, but you can team your librarian up with your 3 elite choices, form a vanguard detachment and have 2 CP more for the exact same units

Your right about the Detachment remake and I will get that done.

Why can you not take a Stalker, The Faction Keywords: Imperium / Adeptus Astartes / <Chapter> can I not change <Chapter> to Blood Angles

Hey again, imperium 1 page 89, lists every unit BA can take, everything else is not allowed, Stalkers arent on the list.

Thanks for that Info I just read right by it.

Will readjust my list accordingly.

You can take a Stalker if you want. Your entire army needs to use 1 keyword. In this case you are using Imperium. Those other units just don't benefit from anything that uses the Blood Angels keyword. Since it's a Stalker, not really an issue.

theharrower is right, you can take it without it being BA faction, since you can charge flyers with jump infantry now, or just fire them with Twin AC Razorbacks i would just let the stalker out, maybe get another Twin AC Razorback or another unit of Death Company.

I have re-worked my list on good advice, more thoughts are most Welcome.

Thanks

This list reminds me of 5th edition. I have had similar fantasies of running one like this with 8th as I still have all my razorbacks and BA tanks...

Looks a lot better now, id probably scrap all the gear on the DC and buy more models for it from the points (maybe even a second unit). With your setup you will have many buffs on your DC, so you want as much attacks/models to profit from the rerolls since chainswords now give an extra attack over Powerswords, and pistols dont profit at all from the rerolls hence they are fired in the shooting phase even if you are locked in combat. and since melee attacks are str 5 with the Priests they dont even need the Thunderhammers since they will wound anything on at least 5+. Oh and since the sanguiniary guard weapons differ in price you need to write those out aswell.

With the points from the DC equip you can buy a second unit with 7 more marines and still have 11 points for a power weapon in each squad, wich is enough in my opinion.

Looks solid. Couple nitpicks.

Priests hit on a 2+. That's the best place to put a Power Fist or Thunder Hammer as you will be hitting on a 3+. With the Predator, I like the Predator Autocannon better for the main turret. It's Heavy 2D3 and does 3 Damage per hit. Much more consistent over the Twin Lascannon.

I wouldn't waste the points on Death Masks for the Sanguinary Guard. The Ancient already has one and they don't stack. 8 Power Swords on the Death Company is crazy overkill. I'd maybe do 4 or do 2 swords, 1 axe. That many DC with a Priest and Lemmy should kill pretty much anything on the charge. I'd probably drop the Inferno Pistol for that reason as well. You'll almost never get to shoot it in close combat.

Write back and let us know how it works.

Ok, I have taken your advice and moved somethings around.

AutoCannon on the Pred
Dumped Inferno Pistols
Lowered power Swords in the Death Company
Thunder Hammers on the Priest's

I added 5 more Death Company guys in lieu of making a new squad as this way I can atleast weather Over Watch better.

Good thoughts, what do you think of the way I did this list, any thoughts are most Welcome

I like this a lot. I would run this and try it out. Looks really good.

Last thing if you want to optimize, maybe switch out pistols for boltguns on the DC. Granted you lose shooting into melee, but with 15 DC you are going to murder pretty much anything in 1 turn of combat. Plus, your range will increase to 24" and you can rapid fire at 12" which would be 24 shots. Nothing to sneeze at.
