I would also suggest splitting and moving the meltaguns to the Assault squads (if possible) the ability to engage to units is better in my opinion than the surety you will hit one target.

Also the Baal predator is insane(TL Aslt Can + 2x HB). I faced 2 in one list at the Baltimore GT 2007 and it was incredibly effective.

I do however think Orks and Bugs can out assault the blood angels which makes this list a bit tougher to play]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/570589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/570589.page GMT Re:1500pt BA Army

I would also stay away from tanks at this point (particularly the Baal). The fact that you don't have any armor in your army is a boon at this point and adding any in will automaticaly make it a target. In addition, you don't have any access to tanks that can really move and fire effectivly so you'll be limiting yourself one way or the other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/571329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/571329.page GMT 1500pt BA Army good point phoenix
forget i mentioned it

definitely do PW + Melta bombs over plasma pistols
S7 is a gamble against anything other than troops IMO]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/571986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/571986.page GMT Re:1500pt BA Army

I think that Baals are better now because of OCE. In fact I would go so far as to say for the points the Baal is the best predator in the game.

Phoenix is right about not taking them unless you have room for a few vehicles tho. if you had a way to take 2baals and a rhino or 2, the baal becomes a great buy.

Blood angles are already paying one heck of a premium on their assault squads as it is, there really isnt a good reason to knock that price up 30 more pts for the plasma pistols, especially if you can get some other ranged fire support elsewhere.

The vet assault squads, however, are one of the better buys in the list. for 25 pts more than the standard assault marines, you get an extra attack on all the guys, and have the OPTION for more weapons. Much like vanguard veterans, these guys are better the less equipped they are. Give them a thunderhammer, maybe a powerweapon, and call it good. run them full size as well, and combatsquad if needed.

Deathcompany: buy them up to full size whenever you can. 10 DC will give most opponents a conniption, and will guarantee he will shoot at them in the early parts of the game, as opposed to your scoring units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/574158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230522/574158.page GMT
