General Strategy:

Karlean and Corbulo ride in the pod with the Sternguard.
Tac marines can be combat squaded to improve targetting effectiveness. (meltas on vehicles, Heavy flamer on infantry)

Locator beacons on all the drop pods allow for accurate DS of the terminators turn 2.

Sternguard loadout is versatile for dealing with TEQ or Vehicles.

Karlean helps steal initiative and along with corbulo's reroll and Karleans reroll for reserves (AOIF and extra pods) greatly helps.

Every Assault squad having at least two Storm shields gives them some resilience.

They should arrive alongside Corbulo's squad where possible to give them the +1 WS and +1 Initiative from his bubble despite the Disorderedly charge.

1 Company standard may prove helpful mitigate failed morale checks etc (its only 5 points).

Frag dreads are there to do what they do best (kill stuff) and their pods provide extra locator beacons for improved tactical positioning.


The list feels pretty solid overall I think....If there's something i've missed or overlooked then feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Still looking for some feedback on this list. I have tested it against a fairly well-tuned Space Wolf last weekend and won resoundingly. It seems very solid.

Just out of curiosity, what happens if your terminators come in over the next few turns? Overall, I like the list though, it seems fluffy and fun, and you're taking lots of Blood Angels-specific stuff. Also, what about AA and/or other good cc lists?

Overall though, looks cool!

How did the TWC not murder this list?

Looks like a fun list. Tacticals seem abit overgeared and are the sternguard really needed?

I'd remove
Sternguard 205
2 powerswords and melta bombs 40
Replace infernus pistols with combi melta on tacticals 10points less?
Corbulo 120

That should free up 375 points

Assault Squad, 2 melta combi melta, drop pod, locator beacon 125 points.
That will give you 250 points to play with.
