Furioso dreadnought (135pts) - in the stormraven

Brother Corbolo (105pts) - with the terminators

Troops
Tactical squad 90pts (210pts)
- melta gun 5pts

- Storm bolter 10pts


Total: 1850pts

Any advice on how to touch it up are appreciated

A fragnought would be better in a pod...the reclusiarch is with the death company correct? Hurricane bolters on stormraven is extremely helpful, not storm bolter, but the vindicator just isn't worth the points for an AV 11 vehicle. I'd drop the bike squad and get transports for the tactical squads.Where is curbulo going? I would see if you could find the points to buff the death company squad and give it a reclusiarch.

Oh sorry about the lack of details. Lemme fix that

Umm you may not list the exact points for each upgrade. Its against GW policy and the rules here. You can post total amount paid for each unit but that is it.

The DC will die when the raven gets shot down. Better to put them in the lr and put the terms in the raven (all with th/Ss to mitigate str 10 hit).

If you give the dc a couple of fists and a hammer they will be more of a threat (can't be challenged by something faster).

What is the role of the vindicator? Anti-troop? I'd dump the bikes and get 2-3 Baal predators. Mine were alive until turn 5 last night!

tactical squads and blood angels mmm. At least they are not devastators i guess. Better to run assaults 2x melta and a transport 225 points with a rhino. maybe could be wrong. Jump pack the death company though and the Reclusiarch so they can jump from cover to cover.

I repeat what I said before. I need the answers to my questions.

Most BA lists are better with no DC at all. Cut them out and see what else you can get with those points.
