Here is the list I tested against tau in a fun game. It was a victory for me but a close one. Let me know what you guys think and maybe give me ideas on how to make it better, thank you. 1855 - blood angels combined arms detachment: blood angels captain with artificer armor, storm shield, valors edge( the relic sword from the relic section) and jump pack. One sanguinary priest, with jump pack, chain sword and pistol. 10 assault marines in jump packs, 2 meltas, sergeant with power fist and hand flamer. Two 5 man tactical marines squads with one melta in each squad and each sergeant had a hand flamer, both squads where inside a drop pod. A stormraven with twin link lascannon, twinlink multi melta and hurricane Bolters. 2 Baal predators equipped with heavy bolsters sponsons and twinlink assaultcannons. Inquisition detachment: inquisitor cotez, one inquisitorial henchman unit- 9 cult assasins, 1 priest, 2 crusaders inside a landraider crusader with extra armor. Another henchman unit with Cortez attached to them, 8 cult assassins 2 crusaders, 1 priest all inside the storm raven.

What is this list trying to do on the tabletop?

Is not a tourney list, I wanted to be more fluff and a little balanced. Cotez makes the henchman able to secure objectives. My combined army troops and drop pods hold objectives as well. After my game yesterday I feel this list is more suited for maelstorm. I was close to wiping out the Tau tho. The inquisition can destroy any 3+ armor with ease since their initiate for the assassins is 6, everything has power weapons. The marines were more a target they soaked most of the damage. The Baal predators also did their job with heavy amount of firepower for cheap points. The landraider was just a secure transport and it did its job plus survived. The storm raven was a transport for the second unit but it was a faster one plus it became a weapon platform at turn 3 after it unloaded the troops. The tau army was no joke, it was a well balanced list with ample firepower (way more than me). I was jus surprised to have survived, won and almost wiped out the tau army. Specially when the tau had 2 riptides and the new stealth monstrous creature suit, and the dreaded broadsides with missiles.
