Here is my idea:

Sanguinary priest, 2 plasma gunners, 2 powerfist, drop pod.  Comes to 275, which is expensive even for Blood Angels.  It has decent pop against one target on the drop, the priest can soak up the plasma backfire, and I have 2 fists for the inevitable countercharge.  The problem is its only 5 wounds, and the priest forgets how to use his equipment once hes in melee.  I absolutely love the way this squad looks; Ive got cool vets and a custom plastic priest with a grail held high.  The fact remains that its expensive and relatively fragile.  I am considering using it in larger games (2k+) where I will have Vet and regular assault squads ready to support them, and I do like to use drop pod tac squads with melta and fist, so maybe with concentration of force I can make them less conspicuous than if they were all alone.

Opinions on this squad?  I am already using Vet assault squads, regular assault squads, drop pod 'anvil' squads, Baal predators, and Lemartes in the army I plan on adding them to.

If you love the look, use it, don't bother about the points ^^
