Hello everyone, I used to game a little and I've recently got back into because I finally have some dude to play it with
But anyways I run blood angels and here's what I'm thinking of getting, do say what's good and what's not, I'm undecided about DC + DC Dread w/ blood talons vs furioso but you guys have better judgement I think.
Thanks

Strike Force Blood Lust
Mephiston 250

Baal Predators with heavy bolter sponsors and storm bolters x3 465

Stormraven Gunship with twin linked lascannons and multi-melltas 200

Furioso Dreadnought with blood talons, flammer and magna grapple 150

Terminator Assault Squad with thunder hammers and stormshields 225

Assault Squad 5 men in a razorback no jump packs x3 2 sergeants take melta bombs 370

5 Scout snipers 90

Good saturation of 2+ armor and 13 Front armor there. I'm assuming you plan to air-lift the furioso and the terminators?
I suppose in general strategy I'd hide the razorbacks and Mephy, and wait a turn for the raven and outflanking baals to come in before launching the assault. Or you could just go balls out with the 6 vehicles and Meph on turn 1 and hope you get the raven on turn 2.

I feel like that raven is going to disappoint you in a game at some point, and show up turn 4 after you've been decimated because you were taking on 1500 points of enemies with less than a grand of your own. If you get the wl trait to reroll reserves, I'd probably take it.

I prefer the furi over the dc dread just because of the 1 extra FA point. it makes the difference between "killable by krak grenades" and "not killable by krak grenades."

Also I wouldn't bother with DC if you only have 15 marines and 5 scouts to score with. Granted you could get scouring and have 3 baal preds, or big guns and have the raven, but those are things that tend to like moving around, not staying on an objective from turn 4ish and on.

Thanks man yeah that's what I'm thinking, just setting up positions for a full blown aggressive assault on turn 2. It's a bit of gamble with the flyer and I'm thinking about maybe drop podding them and maybe just having a whirlwind for good measure? If I choose not to use the storm raven what are my options against flyers?
