This is for Blood angels!!!

At Exeter inquisition no list is over kill!!!!!!!!!!
It would be good to have a idea on how you plan to use it buddy.Looks good though

Hiya mate,

I would say you want to try and find the points to jack up your assault squads a touch. A couple of special weapons really is a must. Tool them for a specific purpose, give one squad two melta guns for anti tank and the other squad two flamers for crispy fried infantry. Put Dante in the squad you most need to utilise in that game....eg if you really need to see a tank gone put Dante in the melta squad so you can take advantage of his precision deepstrike and ensure your melta guys are in range for 2D6. If you want to see a nasty large squad of orks gone (I am looking at you James "No my 60 boys and 6 cans in a 1000 points isn't cheesy" Fox!!) then you have lots of dead greenskins....in an ideal world try and find the points to give the corresponding sergeant's infernus pistols or hand flamers for added effect. Other wise looks good!

I love how when I first came up with the list everyone was like "thats really fluffy, lots of boyz", now it's won a few games on the trot every shouts cheese, its not even in the same league as the double lash, seer councils of this world!! pfff losers!

Westy mate - You defintely want to special weapons in the assault squads, the list looks nice and fast tho.

Sorry, I haven't read the BA codex, so do the death company come with (can have) jump packs? Otherwise it look like you'd be a drop pod down.

They do but they become very expensive. The best way of running them now it seems is either in a LR, Rhino or StormRaven to mitigate the rage somewhat.

Oh and for the record... I like your list mate ;)

I like it Westy, but like Lomo said, are you a drop pod missing or do you plan on walking someone across the board?

I also like the way 3 BA players have 3 distinctly different lists. Jumping, Mech and Shooty. What's your list looking like Dodge?

Yeah my 1000 point current list is quite mech

2 Baal preds - one basic flamestorm, one dakka
10 man assault squad with 2 melta and PF
Sanguinary priest with JP
Librarian with JP. Not sure what power to settle on yet. Used the S10 sword last night (with epic fail results!), am thinking about changing that to preferred enemy as a force multiplier. Will have to see
A tac squad with lascannon and melta, serg with power sword in rhino.

Only played one game with it so far so too early to tell how it does. For 1500 points there will probably be a vindisplatter or two and maybe a dread :D

One thing I have just noticed with your list Westy is that, apart from the Dreads, you only have 3 power weapons (2 fists and Dante). No high strength shooting (although I see that shooting is not going to be a priority).

I've seen you playing games around the club for a few weeks, have you been using this list or is it a new once you just made up?

The army list is to cover ground with the assault squads and kill, with dreadnoughts falling from the sky! to pick out heavy targets if not the death dreads go after anything in there way! the Death company squad run at what they see so yes the death company run across the borad! but they are something to keep the other player on edge, they have 6 with bolt guns and 4 the chainsword and bolt pistol!

but i could change one of the drop pods to take the death company squad there's not a lots for change in the army list i have!
But i would like to see how it dose agains a shooting army list!

Yes i could do with a couple of meltaguns but i don't have the points unless i drop a dread :(! or a Priest???

I think you can drop one priest to find you the extra points for special weapons, maybe even that extra pod.

Since the priest's radius of effect for the blood chalice benefits are 6" one can quite feasible protect 2 squads. This may require a little finesse to make work in practice but should provide you the same protective coverage whilst freeing up 75pts.

I'd likely put Dante in one squad and the priest in the other. With any luck due to re-rolls from descent of angels both should turn up at the same time. (Decent odds at least.) Deploy the sanquinary priest squad first. Since they don't scatter much you can be quite aggressive, then place Dante's unit within 6" of it and as close as you need to what you wish Dante's unit to kill. Since the priest can be placed anywhere within the unit this gives some extra distance and range to his effects. (Regular bod in the centre, priest close to the outside wherever you want him.) This should ensure you get the units safely down without loss of protection or impact.

Only problem with a 4th pod is that you still only get 2 on turn 1. If blood angels can still do the marine assault squad trick of swapping their packs for a free pod this might be a decent choice. You could also go for a regular tactical squad instead of the assault marines to get some bolter fire in there.

Less significant change, you could drop the extra armour and powerfist on one squad down to a power sword. This saves 25pts, enough for a couple of meltaguns and maybe a flamer.

Also think about giving the death company the furioso's drop pod. They need to be up close as soon a possible and the dread is much better at taking fire on the way in. Coming down via pod he's often likely to have his rear armour exposed. Give it a try at least.

Yer I think the furioso's drop pod should begiven to the death company squad! the only thing with Dante is you do need to have a priest with him for the charge on the unit to give you the plus one stranth or i could just put grim in for him?

I'll have a little play around and pick a fight on the next club night anyone want to be my ginnypig????

I'll happily be the tester piggy!! Would you prefer facing a shooty or combat army or a mix?

Bring what ever you like i'm just redoing my list for club night!!! if you like we could do a couple of fights one with my list you can see and the other with the new list? but up to you bud!

Sounds like a good plan buddy, i'll be trying out a new list too so a couple of games would be great!

looking forward to it what race?

Will be my Dark Angels this time round, will be testing some land speeders if Craig remembers to bring them lol

cool i've put an army list together you should like it i hope!!! see you club night
