The only things I would do would be to drop the searchlights and meltabombs definitely. And since you only have 6 models in the rhino.. why not swap it out for a TL Heavy Flamer razorback? I mean you're throwing it at the enemy anyways, right? Why not get some extra flamy goodness? Because of this, I think you could also swap the hand flamers for infernus pistols in the squads with meltaguns. You need at least 2 meltashots to even expect to do anything. 1 is a hope, 2 is pretty sure, and 3/4 generally means dead tank. lol. The lance/melta/infernus pistol should kill a tank pretty reliably.

I don't know if all the powerweapons/powerfists are necessary though.. but if its what you like, then go for it I guess. Just remember that you're spending 95 points on those. lol. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432774.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels HQ, like The Sanguinorl, or Meph. From what I remember The Sanguinor would complement one of the groups without a priest nicely....That and he looks so sexy.

Consolidating 2 5mans into 1 10 man would also give it a lot more killing power.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432795.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels lol)

And I don't see how consolidating 2 five man squads into one ten man is a good thing.. he losing out on a scoring unit, a vehicle, and a sarge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1432925.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels
And I don't think that you need so many officers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433130.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433138.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels TL-HF, you would got an additional great discount.

For example:

Assault Squad (146 Pts)
4 Assault Squad
Remove Jump Packs; Meltagun;
1 Sergeant
Remove Jump Packs; Chainsword; Infernus Pistol;
1 Razorback
Twin Linked Heavy Flamer; Searchlight

A fast skorcha taxi...It looks familiar, isn't it?

Let us have a recall of the core unit of an immolator spam...

Celestian Squad (150 Pts)
4 Celestian Squad @ 150 Pts
Bolter (x2); Meltagun (x2);
1 Sister Superior
1 Immolator
Twin Linked Heavy Flamer

Tougher and cheaper! And better fire-support vehicles(baal and fast predator)!

Mech BA is very competitive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433289.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433289.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels

I didn't remember the cost, just that he had awesome stats, lol. The turning 2 five mans into 1 ten man gives him a central assault squad. I see everyone splitting up into 5 man squads, but they then loose A LOT of staying power and attack power. 5 man squads are a heck of a lot easier to kill off then 1 large 10 man squad. If he was going to have 1 HQ, he could use that to lead them, and it would make nice wrecking ball.

I do agree that at this point level 275 points into one unit is pretty nuts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1433327.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels IC, so combining for a central assault squad isn't worthwhile.

Also, people are going for 5-man RAS because of the 35pt discount on Razorbacks that allows a freebie Las/Plas upgrade, as well as them being Fast vehicles.

The problem with Heavy Flamers is that they are Heavy Flamers, meaning Template range is suicide. The idea is to be a pseudo-gunline with assault capabilities.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1435464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1435464.page GMT [1500] New Blood Angels
So yes, assault marines in a twin linked heavy flamer razorback with melta/infernus pistol is cheaper and arguably better than the celestian squad... in a vacuum. But regarding the list as whole, the sisters still do the 'fast scorcha taxi' spam a whole lot better.

Although I do agree with you that mech BA is definitely competitive, it's not for the reason you have given. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1435504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285524/1435504.page GMT
