No! A Blood Angel - Land Raider without scatter when he Deep Strikes is thé way to go.
It makes the game fun, even if you lose
There's no better way to get a squad of Death Company in the middle of the enemy forces.

Are you sure you can take more than one of the same Relic of the Armoury even with a Master of Relics?

Whilst I haven't read the book cover to cover (not even properly started - it's HUGE!) haven't yet seen anything prohibiting it.

While it looks fun - it would still be a turn 3 charge at the earliest. Slingshot escape hatch bunker or just turbo-boosting a landraider seems a better bet!

DC dread in a lucius though...

Our new secret-tech is to attach an Inquisitor
First turn Scout, Hatred or Fear on the Attack.
Rad Grenades + Psychotroke Grenades.
And the best part: Servo-skulls that make sure we don't scatter at all with Jump Packs.
Now you wonder: "But Kangodo, won't that cost 200 points? Since everything is so expensive for Blood Angels!"
No, not really. It's around the same amount as a Scout Squad.

Drop Pods don't need that scatter protection.
But a Redeemer can still wreck a lot of stuff in the turn he drops.
Don't forget: We Sanguine players do it for the fun, not to win.

I totally agree - I use inquisitors a lot ;-). The liber heresius one works well with a mephi star for the scout (plus doesn't change majority toughness). Rad granades are great on almost anything - but a bit OTT on DC who will each have 5 st5 attacks each rerolling both to hit and wound with a chappy/reclusiarch.
Servo skulls + Vanguard Vets = awesome!

Wasn't meaning no scatter on a DP btw - just mean a DC dread staying safe in a lucius after he lands could be great!

Spartan assault transports are also one of the only ways to deliver a big death company units with any reliability.

Woah, woah, woah... let me get this right - the land raider prometheus can reduce two units cover save by 1 a turn (battle auspex + PotMS)?
Plus since it is named differently to an auspex, combined with a characters auspex you could potentially reduce an opponents units cover save by 2?
