Hey all this is my first post here. I just got back into 40k after a long hiatus and decided to give it a try with the kill team events that my local hobby store does. I like playing aggressive and and did a little testing, and found that blood angels really suits my play style. I made a list with assault marines because i really like the concept of jump packs. I am still very new since my previous experience with 40k was about a decade ago and i didn't really play a whole lot. Any advice would be highly appreciated

List 1:
5 death company marines
5 Jump packs
5 bolt pistols and chain swords
[115]

5 assault marines
5 Jump packs
5 bolt pistols and chain swords
[85 points]


List 2:
10 tactical marines
9 boltguns
1 plasmagun
[155 points]

Rhino
1 storm bolter
[45 points]


List 1 is 3-0 so far at my local store with 2 games against intermediate players and 1 game against a much more experienced astra militarum player.

List 2 is 1-0 I just got my rhino recently and only had time to throw together a list and test it out against another newer player like myself.

So far I have had a good amount of success but i realize that my lists could improve as i am very new.

List one certainly fits the Blood Angels a lot more, and in the second I generally find vehicles to not be so effective in Kill Team. Sure you can move all your models quicker, but then it's not that effective.

Also jump pack bias from me because I love them.

In list one I'd be tempted to ditch the ASM altogether and just run more DC if you're just running them straight. Also be tempted to run the DC with bolters as they have plenty of attacks as it is for Kill Team.

1x DC w/ Power Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Jump Pack
7x DC w/ Bolters, Jump Packs

is 199pts and probably what I would run.

I will give the 8 death company a shot i kinda tried to get as many guys as i could with the assault but i never thought sbout giving them bolters and jump packs.
