Honour Guard -170

las/plas razorback -90

Furioso Dread -135
frag cannon
heavy flamer

Terminator Assault Squad -215
3 Th/SS

Land Raider -250

Assault Squad -140 X2
power weapon
meltagun
infernus pistol

las/plas razorback -55 X2



this is my list so far, I was wondering if I was better off adding another assault squad in a razorback and upgrading the Furioso Dread to a Libby dread with lance and flight instead of the Honour Guard]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872162.page GMT 1500 Blood Angels please help IG vets/gunline/blob, and from what I've heard, the razorspam list only really works with the space pups.

If you're taking BA terminators, why aren't you taking a Sanguinary Priest in Terminator armour with them!? FnP termies are uber cheesy-unkillable fun. Although a standard LR isn't big enough for them.. a Redeemer or Crusader are just as good (if in different ways).

Mephiston won't last long against a player that knows how to deal with him (swarm, power weapons, plasma and melta, Lascannons etc) - the only real way to keep him alive is to get good rolls on your wings of sanguinius psychic tests and hide behind your Razorbacks/LR.

One of (if not THE) greatest assets for BA armies is the Priests - especially if you have lots of troops. I would suggest looking at other peoples' BA lists of similar size (1500-2000pts) to get an idea of what other people use.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872367.page GMT 1500 Blood Angels please help

Razorspam works with anyone who can take them, and BA have an advantage in that their assault squads get a 35pt discount and a fast vehicle to boot. And Mephiston is fine, sure he has weaknesses, but used well he can be a game breaker.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872412.page GMT 1500 Blood Angels please help

So basically you haven't disagreed with me at all.

I wrote that Mephiston has his weaknesses - so does anything - but it's quite a big point when you make an investment like that (1/6th of 1500).

I also said that razorspam only works with Space pups from what I've heard. I am aware that BA have advantages in this field, but I merely think that the army list is capable of stronger lists than the razorspam.

But at the end of the day, the two biggest factors are:
1) How skilled the players are.
2) Whether the dice gods smile upon you or not.





EDIT: BA razorspam should have priests with them. That's what the 6 man capacity is meant for!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313580/1872456.page GMT 1500 Blood Angels please help BA list... currently 4-0-1 (tied another BA player few weeks back)
