The Devs are gonna be out gunned at 2k REALLY easily. They can go.

Try a 10 man Sternguard squad with 6 Combi-Meltas and 4 Combi-Plas. Its amazing.

On the ASM squads, its either 2 Flamers + PF or 2 Meltas. Nothing else.

Also, try to fit Mephiston in. He's a beast at the 1850 - 2000 point range if you can direct him to the correct targets.

At a competitive 2k tournament you'll probably see the 4 Riptide list, the 8 Heldrake list, and the Seer Council. Sadly, Blood Angels have very slim chances vs any of these armies.

Hope this helps.

I like mephy I was just wanting to get preffered enemy on my units for rerollabe ones. (yay for casting unleash rage on 4 units! as long as the tests go off)

yeah I won't be able to take on helldrakes spams I am accepting to that. tau scare me but I feel better about them than the space turkeys.

if I give the PF to the assault sarges they get challenged out and killed w/out doing anything... not worth it imo. I can fit the flamers in though. I mean I love the damage a PF can do, but on a model with 1 W and only a 3+ armor thats expensive and risky imo.

If I drop the dev squads I lose a good bit of fire power against vehicles. I think I would use them to grab another sternguard unit to drop in. and possibly shift some points around for a furioso or libby furioso.

hmm.

Mephiston- 250
2 Sanguinary Priests w/ power axe and jump packs - 180
10 man tac squad w/ plasma gun and missile launcher- 180
10 man tac squad w/ plasma gun and missile launcher- 180
10 man assault squad w/ 2 flamers Sgt Power fist- 225

Storm Raven gunship w/ TL MM and TL LC and side sponson hurricane bolters- 230
1 Baal predator w/ flamestorm cannon dozer blade and side sponson heavy flamers and extra armor- 160

assault squad 1 will be infantry killers, the second with the PF will look for vehicles to pillage. Baal pred wants to get up close fast and flamestorm some infantry. Do you think I put to many upgrades on it?? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172001.page GMT Re:2k BA army, rate please
That 160 should go to filling out the Sternguard.

For the ASM squads, the Sergeant upgrades should be the other way around. PF on the flamer unit so it doesn't get stuck in with something tougher than their guns can handle like Rifleman Dreads or Warwalkers. The Melta squad doesn't really need a power weapon - that unit should be popping Land Raiders, Ghost Arks, Wave Serpents - whatever. It should leave engaging the squads inside to the Flamer unit.

I like the baal due to the HEAVY anti infantry it brings but I do worry about it being popped due to concentrated fire. :/ though It might can do some good damage whenever I manage to go first! lol. sternguard are too expensive for 160 to really make an impact on the squads that is about 5ish more models and that is it :/

I suppose I COULD drop the baal for a dread in a pod so I could drop both stern guards turn one.. hm ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172028.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please av, the opponents AT was being 'wasted' on marines. With a Baal in there you threw that advantage right out the window. Our 10 man sternguard unit with combi-weapons is 30points cheaper than the c:sm equivalent... im sure that is the ONLY equivalent unit we get cheaper than them (the caps isnt for you, its just for the fact that im majorly p****d that vanilla practically get everything cheaper than us, in some cases miles cheaper - oh we do get attack bikes cheaper too).
Make that sternguard into 1 unit, combat squad them on the drop, saving you 35pts and meaning all 10 come in 1st turn.
Dropping the pod, the baal and the hurricanes will afford you another 10man assault squad with either 2 flamers and pf or 2 melta and power weapon. Then you have even more marine saturation to dilute the effectiveness of the enemies AT.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172366.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6172366.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173141.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please Devs. Long range shooting is overrated due to cover almost everywhere.
Instead, I'd take to Honor Guard units (with jump packs), with 4 special weapons, like 4 plasma guns or 2 meltas and 2 flamers. As a bonus, they come with a built-in chalice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173659.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please that's what~200 points in them with 4 plasma guns? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173677.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please

that's right I had forgotten the honor guard. the jump packs are sorta expensive though that's what~200 points in them with 4 plasma guns?

Yeah, that's 200 pts or so. But they can dish out serious damage upon arrival and have FNP. By the way, my Libbies (with jump packs) usually have shield and blood lance. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173701.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please SoS cover save stack with others? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173728.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173728.page GMT 2k BA army, rate please

I prefer the unleashed rage, so I can reroll all ones to hit and wound. it can save bad luck on the plasma guns. the cover save would be usefull for my assault squads unless its tau. does the SoS cover save stack with others?

Well, indeed, I think it stacks with stealth or shrouding since both give a bonus.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173752.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559033/6173752.page GMT
