1000 point army. Blood Angels, Death Company.

Astorath The Grim.

10 man Death Company Squad w/ Jump Packs and Power Weapons.

Death Company Dreadnought with Blood Talons. Built in Storm Bolter and Melta Gun.

Dreadnought w/ Lascannon and (either) Missile Launcher or Auto Cannon

Just under 1000. Too small?

Basically cause astorath and his squad will get in combat first turn.

Astorath just gives you the option of having more than 1 squads of death Company.

I plan to have Astorath leading a 10 man jump pack squad.

Lemartus leading a 10 man jump pack squad.

Death Company Tyco leading a 10 man shooting squad.

Only because Astorath and Lemartus give their squad re-rolls on hits and wound DESTRUCTION IN CLOSE COMBAT]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508107.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508107.page GMT lol. Jk I can't wait to play blood angels with my BT.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508285.page GMT

1. Nothing is scoring, so you can't hold any objectives. What this means is that n 66% of your games, you have to table your opponent, which is not easy to do.

2. You spend 500 points on a unit that always rages (which means it can be lead around rather easily by throw away units) and suffer the moment an IG player puts a Russ on the table. Also, the unit has absolutely no answer to tanks.

3. Your anti-tank is tied up in one unit that can be easily shaken.


Now, if you want a crazy Astorath list at 1000 points, how about this:

Astorath the Grim = 220

8 Death Company w/ Jump Packs, 1 Infernus Pistol, 2 Power Weapons, Thunderhammer = 350

5-man Assault Squad w/o Jump Packs w/ Meltagun, Sergent w/ Power Weapon in Razorback w/ Twin-linked Heavy Flamer = 145

5-man Assault Squad w/o Jump Packs w/ Meltagun, Sergent w/ Power Weapon in Razorback w/ Twin-linked Heavy Flamer = 145

Death Company Dreadnought w/ Meltagun, Heavy Flamer, Blood Talons = 135


Everybody has a duality in roles, you still have a crazy Death Company Squad that should be able to take out most things at that points level, and you have a very strong possibility of your assault squads also having furious charge. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290737/1508352.page GMT
