HQ: Librarian with Jump Pack- Shield of Sanguinius and Fear of Darkness (125 points)

Baal Predator with TLAC and Heavy Bolters (145 points)
Baal Predator with TLAC and Heavy Bolters (145 points)

3 Sanguinary Priests with JP and Power Swords (270 points)

Assault Squad: 10 marines, 2 meltas and a sarge with PF (235 points)
Assault Squad: 10 marines, 2 meltas and a sarge with PF (235 points)
Assault Squad: 10 marines, 2 meltas and a sarge with PF (235 points)

Death Company x 5: 4 PF/Bolter and 1 Thunder Hammer (230 points)

Stormraven with TLAC, TL Multi-Melta, Hurricane Bolters, 4x Blood Missles (230 points)

Strategy:

Keep the 2 baal and the librarian together, casting Shield of Sanguinius and Fearing anything that gets too close. The librarian keeps up with the JP
3 Assault Squads (With Sang Priests)- Anti-Infantry/Vehicle as needed

Put the DC in the Storm Raven and drop them near vehicles to generally wreak havoc behind enemy lines/contest objectives if possible

Then the Raven starts hunting vehicles or infantry

My concerns are 1. The storm raven gets shot down- deploy in reserve?. 2. The DC isn't very mobile after initial deployment- I might drop one and add Jump Packs

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339717.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested PF (or two) from the DC to get a few additional bodies in the DC unit. Even dowgrading 2 PFs to Power Axes nets you more DC, I believe.

As for your #1 concern, your Raven starts in reserve anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339882.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested PF and add hand flamer/power sword combo to the sarge?

Also, adding more DC is to protect the PF's?

Apart from that - nice list for BA. Maybe experiment with vindis instead of baals if not scouting or outflanking if you play this list multiple times.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6339930.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested DC- I just need to be smarter in positioning them in close combat.

Let me ask this: what about the fear value in 4/5 PF's coming at you in your deployment zone? Not enough to justify the cost?

I run a 2x flamer, lightning claw sarge for my anti infantry unit.

I am also from the school of thought of keeping my priests bare and cheap. I keep them out of combat at all costs. If I have the points, it is nice for them to carry meltbombs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6340151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6340151.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested PF on the priests? WS 5? It seems best to avoid the temptation of having them bump uglies with anything serious and keep them around for FNP and Furious Charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6340700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6340700.page GMT Re:1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342273.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested
Also priests w/ fists are really nice as they can be a "hidden" power fist that smacks things if the capt. Is alive. (Actually had one make 3, FnP rolls and then ID a chaos lord once!!)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342280.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested ap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342344.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested Id say raven loadout is perfect. I agree with raiden on the priests, as they cost 75pts anyway with jps, you might as well pay an extra 15 or 25pts so that model is actually doing something in combat! If you run a libby with jp, take sword (with force axe) as a power and a fist on the sarge and priest in that squad too. Then you can deny challenges and still be hitting with 2 fists (opponent will choose libby not to attack).
And death co are scary enough that you dont need to add a ton of powerfists to worry the opponent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342582.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6342588.page GMT 1850 Blood Angels List: C&C Requested CC.

Flamers in assault squads are generally not the best idea as you flame yourself out of charge range quite a lot, especially against things you ap.
Yes you do have to be careful but they have their uses.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6347319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568106/6347319.page GMT
