Ok my idea is to dump the sisters into the Dev's Rhinos in the first turn and use them to reduce the numbers in an enemy unit so that the Assault Squads (/Death Company) can easily win combat (I've also test them against Nob bikers and they do quite well with Divine Guidance within rapid fire range) ... the Dev's will most of the time combat squad giving me four anti transport units.

Expanding? well when i get the money/time, i think I'll swapping in a pair of Landraider Crusaders for the sisters to ride in and take a Dominion Squad, with 2-4 meltas, in an Immolator (cellestain may also work with a pair of meltas ... could get another 2 squads that way). Oh and a Venerable, Death Company, Furioso Dread in a Pod would be fun. Also a possible change once i have more people in death company would be take them without the jump packs and stick them in a drop pod with Brother Corbulso and an Ord Inquisitor with an Inquisitorial mandate (+1 attack every one with 2d6")

Ok I'm done, all comments welcome ... I expect criticism of my first SM list (,since 3rd any way)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/655681.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/655681.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts

I'm not dismising your idea but could you tell me why? You can see my army list, how would it benifit from having Full Tactical squads? it can't be for heavy weapons my Dev's deal with that .... only reason i can see is that a 10 man squad is more durable, which was why i include some sistors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/655906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/655906.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts BA RAS are very limited in what they can take... that is, up to three plasma pistols and a power fist. A shooty army can light them up like a Christmas tree before they ever charge. VAS are much much better for one a minimal increase in points.

Where did you find that bit of fluff? It doesn't mention anything about it in either codex. I am assuming you got that idea from somewhere else.

SoB and space marines are probably only adversarial because the SoB represent the inquisition, and SM don't like being ordered around but are bound by duty to answer an inquisitor's beck and call. I don't see much of a problem in combining the two lists, and it is very legal from a codex standpoint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656492.page GMT Re:Blood Angels 1500pts BA and SOB togeather.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656499.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts
FoxPhoenix135 ... Yep sums it up but i going to make some fluff up about a way of fix The Flaw by combining new DNA and the sister are actually new recruits (some sisters will be modeled as guys ... and some blood angels as girls) (death company are now the rejects that failed to be cured)

Salted Diamond ... Witch hunters codex like the Demon hunters codex lets you take 1HQ, 1Elite,2troop and 1fast unit in the following armies ....
+SM, including blood angels, space wolves, dark angels, black Templar's, salamanders and other loyalist Astartes chapters.
+IG
+Daemon Hunters]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656530.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts
and if i remember rightly in the fluff space marines are exclusivly recruted as adolecant males, hence the reason why they are a sausage fest of an army...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656544.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts

Was just curious. No one at my FLGS plays them so I have never had a reason to read in depth into their codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656548.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/656548.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts SM as they can't take the gene seed which is why SOB don't get the strength and toughness of SM ... but I thought it would be fun to cure 'The Flaw' by changing the Gene Seed so women could also take it. End of the day they're little plastic men and women so long as i model them so you can tell which are the SOB and which are BA i should be fine

Salted Diamond ... guessed as much but thought you might like to know how i was doing it ... SOB are well worth taking these days ... they may not have the strength or toughness of SM but they make up for that by being (roughly) 7pts cheaper and the faith points are useful (+2str & int1 ; wound rolls of 6 = AP1 / power weapon; +2int; fearless; 3+ inv save) (check the book for there exact uses)

Any way any one got any more opinions on the list? So far only useful change has been Green Blow Fly VAS (possibly to include more tanks)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/657136.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235841/657136.page GMT Blood Angels 1500pts
You could just develop some background as to why your Blood Angels have allied with the Battle Sisters. It should not be hard to do and could be quite interesting too.
