I am trying to build a nice 1500 point Blood Angel list since I have quite some models, but I have very little experience in 40K and none at all with the Blood Angels. This is what I came up with so far but I would really like some pointers and just to hear what you think. Thanks a lot for any help provided


Sanguinary Priest with jump pack, bolt pistol and storm bolter. -81 points-

Sanguinary Guard, 10 man, with chapter banner, 2x axe and 2x inferno pistol. -375 points-


Tactical Squad, 5 man, with meltagun in a Drop Pod -115 points-

Tactical Squad, 5 man, with meltagun in a Drop Pod. -115 points-


Death Company, 9 man, with jump packs, 1x power fist and 1x power sword. -247 points-

Death Company, 9 man, with jump packs, 1x power fist and 1x power sword. -247 points-


Predator with twin-linked lascannons, lascannon side sponsors and overcharged engines -150 points-


Death company Dreadnought with blood talons in a Drop Pod. -170 points-

The Priest will join the SG for the FNP and go for enemy elite / HQ units. I like them like this because they seem like flying terminators to me. I am a little worried about my Tactical Squads since they are the only scoring units I have for when I need to score some objectives and they seem quite weak.. Maybe drop a DC squad to get one more squad of tacticals and increase the numbers per squad aswell?
Love to hear what you think, thanks in advance for all help provided ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8591273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8591273.page GMT DC squad in a drop pod you will have to drop the jumppacks since they can not use drop pods with them from my understanding.

Is this a competitive list or for fun?

I would run a SR with a squad of DC and a DC dreadnought if you are going to use blood talons. If you are going with Furioso Dreadnought then go with a Frag cannon.

Maybe drop the drop pod for the tac squads and run a razorback instead if you only going to run 5 man squads.

This is all my opinion though, I am sure some other people might have better inputs. Try looking at some of the BA formations, the ones from Shield of Baal Exterminatus are pretty good or just run a Baal Strike Force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593080.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593080.page GMT tac squads and the furioso, I like the DC units to be able to move around and I think they can charge sooner if I just deploy them and start running.

I'm hoping to make a competitive list yeah

Is an SR a stormraven? if so, I thought about it but I would lose many points to it I think. DC dreadnought looks like a better plan indeed, let me adjust that right away.

For the tacs I just opted for the pods because they are cheap and I can drop em on an objective or next to enemy armour for my melta.

Thanks for the help man, as I said, I have very little xp in 40k (only played 5 games, back in 6th edition) so I can definitely use some other points of view]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593200.page GMT
Since you would like to go competitive build a 1850 pt army instead of 1500. Most comp games I believe are 1850 according to the ITC for warhammer 40k gaming.

You might want to consider a Librarian as an HQ choice. I know some people run one, I don't but I also don't have much experience playing psykers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593262.page GMT lol
That's going to change my list somewhat indeed thanks for the help again man ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593313.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687623/8593558.page GMT
