So, I posted a little while ago that one of my regular opponents runs Blood Angels. He enjoys fast, up close attacks, and had heard that Blood Angels were the kings of GOTTAGOFAST attack. At the moment, his army consists of 2 baal predators, a tactical squad, a captain in terminator armor, and a unit of intercessors. He'd asked for some advice on what units to pick up next, but given that I play Space Gundam Commies, I didn't really have much advice for him. I've done some research and Death Company with maybe Lemartes to back them up seem like a solid choice, but then again so does Mephiston and a terminator assault squad. He doesn't have much by way of actual fast attackers, and I'd heard that drop pods kinda suck this time around, so I'm not inclined to recommend those. Any recommendations?

I suggest reading the BA 8th tactics thread.
