I kind of wanted to mess around with bring a lot of dreads in an army and I think blood angels give me the best option to do that besides grey nuts. Let me know what you all think...

give that furioso a frag cannon and a drop pod and plunk him down next to your opponent's stuff and watch them remove models. 3 templates are brutal, particularly before they have a chance to move.

I was going to use the stormraven to deliver him unto the enemy. That way they dont get a chance to shoot at him before he charges. Every time I see one come down via drop pod he gets blown up before he gets a chance to assault.

Wayyyyy to light on troops for 1500. Two wimpy scoring units do not make good Objective takers

I agree with the too few troops comment, but not on the stormraven delivery. i have not had good luck with my raven carrying anything and arriving at a decent time, but i have had great luck with my furioso landing behind or next to a blob of stuff and shredding it turn one. he has front armor 13 so will take more to take down. if they are focusing on him they aren't firing at your other stuff moving across the board. Dreads assaulting are not so great this edition as i have discovered (lost a dc dread to overwatch and my close combat furioso has failed twice to charge through terrain), but shooting dreads are great. Shooting dreads showing up in your enemy's lines are even better.

If I traded the assault marines for another tactical squad do you think that would help fix the issue. I could have 4 troops then If I combat squaded.

I could drop the storm raven in favor a drop pod for the furioso and pick up a 3 dread in my heavy slot. Meaning I would have 5 dreads in my army.
