Hi,

Trying a bit of a different tactic and I'd like some ideas.

My plan is to use the list below, drop Belial, a Deathwing command squad with Banner of Devastation and Azrael with a tactical squad via deathwing assault and drop pod strike on turn 1, backed up by 2 deathwing squads slogging it and a ravenwing biker squad Basically pincer the enemy (which will be blood angels) with the deathwing and use them to screen the squishier greenwing units who are being backed up by Azrael. Alternatively if it's an objectives game I can use the warlord traits to my advantage and drop them onto an objective with FNP and backed up by the boys in bone. I can then hopefully take his attention off the rest of my force moving up. The Ravenwing are there as troops to hopefully get to a second objective and score.

Some points to consider.

I don't have anything PAST this army, save a few other units, there's another DW terminator squad and knights that are WIP. I don't have access to land raiders, I also have 2 dreads, the AOBR one and a Venerable with a plasma cannon and DCCW I also have a veterans squad and a dev squad, but that's basically it. HQ choices I can bring an int chaplain or a librarian but I've got this list with a single purpose in mind and that's getting Azrael, screened by a wall of bone into a firing position with 30+ bolter rounds. Making suggestions like "I need to get x y or z" isn't viable, it's a budget and a time constraint. I'm well aware I need a LRC or two, so suggesting I get one is preaching to the choir.

Anyways here's the list.

HQ
Belial – 190 points
Azrael – 215 points
DWCS
Apoc/SB (Raphael), Champion (Michael), Standard/SB/PF(CS) (Gabriel), TH/SS (Elenin) , Asscan/PF (Ariel).
Total – 370 points

Troops

Veteran Sergeant – 10 points, Takes Melta Bombs – 5 points
Takes a Drop pod – 35 points
Total – 176 points

Deathwing Squad 1 – 220 points
Sergeant W PS/SB
Heavy Flamer – 10 Points
TH/SS – 5 points
TLC – Free
Total – 235 points

Deathwing Squad 2 – 220 points
Sergeant W PS/SB
Assault Cannon – 20 points
Chainfist – 5 points
TH/SS – 5 points
Total – 250 points

Ravenwing Bikers
Sergeant Dariel w/chainsword, Biker wi/plasma gun, biker w/bolt gun. 95 points

Ditch Belial as all he's bringing is his strike then either a) add another Greenwing pod b) add another bike squad(and abs to both squads) c) add in a ravenwing command squad
but with the banner I'd go with a or b because your paying 65 points to make one squad double their shots which IMO is a waste

I don't have either a second bike squad, nor do I have a second ravenwing squad, nor do I have a ravenwing command squad. I did say that at the start....here's my other options should I remove Belial.

AOBR Dread, MM/CCW
Vendread, PC, CCW

Dev squad, 2 LC 2 PC 2 ML (pick four)

Veteran Squad, 1 Heavy weapon, 1 MM 2 Flamers 1 Sarge.

Librarian

Int Chaplain

Asmodai.
