Hi there, so far im loving this ed with my Nids, but it is time to field their nemesis, The Baals protector with their dark secret!
Until now what feels fundamental is to be fast, deadly and to strike first.
This list is with that in mind plus having some solid obj holder and some tactical flexibility.

Battalion detachment

Terminator captain, storm bolted and thunder hammer
Lemartes
Sanguinary priest, JP, Power Sword,

Sniper scout with camo
5 TAC with heavy flamer i razorback with TLAC
5 TAC with heavy flamer i razorback with TLAC

15 DC, boltgun, 5 power sword,3 plasma pistol
D.C. Dread talons and grapple
5 terminator assault TH&SS

Stormraven with storm bolter,TLAC, multimelta

Termi n captain n dredd in stormraven+D.C.+2character+2 razor+ scout: 7 drops, 3 of which stay in the background and the rest pop up 9" in front of foes.
Comments welcome !

take a vanguard detachment? with the units you have free command point. does the DC have jump?

Yes to both,thanks!

Stormravens don't have storm bolters, do you mean Hurricane bolters?

Why not scrap the crappy tactical squads for some better valued assault squads with 2x plasma guns?

Terminators are not our thing, run DA if you want them and add another SR/Predator/Dev/Razorback.

I meant hurricane sorry, I wrote in a hurry waiting for lunch

I was thinking about that but it would void the razorback use in that case

Honestly, I just love the models, I thought to take a predator lascannon instead, i just wanna see how bad they perform before removing them

My Space Hulk Blood Angels are awesome models so I know what you mean. They look awesome!

8th edition doesn't "void" anything. Remember that the Razorback doesn't require troops now - and you can take more than one without any sort of requirement.

List looks much better, should be happier with its performance.

Imo,take a vanguard detachment take Astorath with 5 DC with JP and thunder hammers To literally kill ANYTHING.
Put corbulo in a raven hauling 10 DC( with power mauls/axes and pistols) a DC dread and meph
Another DC above 10(pod, packs or Bolters), then back it all up with Baal preds/land speeders.
The death company with corbulo gets buffed beyond belief( strength, hits, wounds), Astorath can deep strike in and drop Magnus in one turn while meph is a distraction carnifex that will rape anyone, the Baal preds and speeders literally speed around harassing everything with assault cannons heavy fallers , MM and Typhoon on the speeders.

If you take all power mauls, consider calling them the Riot Company who beat up hiippes.

And drink tears

I love the enthusiasm and the theoryhammer behind this, at the same time I really have hard time using special characters; feels a bit like cheating. I had to talk myself into it for using Lemartes and I'm still insecure if I'll play him or not...
Feels just so unfluffy :(
