The list is pretty good. I would prefer a P Fist on the Chaplain, or at least a pistol. Either way its still a solid list.

I know his Crozius Arcanum is a power weapon and the fist doubles the strength. I just figure this weapon is just as good. AND it won't go last...

I like just the crozius on the Chappy.

I think the pred will be in trouble here, but I guess the Razorback is pumping out some firepower too.

I say playtest it, I think Blood Angels work best in all out assault so I'm interested to see them play in shoot/counter attack mode (DA realm imo).

Looking around most successful BA lists I see are static gun lines (made of combat squading tac squads) with counter assault (assault and vet. assault marines) and fast objective takers (single attack bike squads).

At here is a few things I see, 1st of you dont have 10 memeber tact squads which will be the best for this list(keep the razorbacks with them and give the razorback to the half without the heavy gun) give each tact squad a hvy gun and a special that way you have a static gun and a good short range fight still, besides that doesnt look to bad

Bruce....I'm using smaller support squads so I can get the death company ranks up. This way I can field a few of these and only paid 60 pts for the 2 to get me a 6 man squad up.

You don't always need full squads to make a squad effective. I proved this with my Tau yesterday and I have seen many players do the same. Maybe this is why you suck so bad...LOL JUST KIDDING. I don't want you to go on me....LOL

As for play testing....just need to get 3 razorbacks, and another Bike as well as 5 assult troopers.

Nathen...I was thinking about using 3 regular bikes.....Maybe with in increase of points such as 2k or so.

the point of the larger squads are for the hvy guns, the problem I see with the list is if the razorbacks die you have little to fight landraiders with

Most successful BA lists I have played in person have been assault oriented... not saying it can't be done this way though.

I agree with Bruce, I'd drop the vehicles in favor of some heavy weapons on the men... vehicles are just unreliable imo.

Although bulk running razorbacks isn't really that awful.

Im not saying lose the razrosbacks, just make them as cheap as possible to add a bit of extra heavy bolter fire and add some speed to gain objectives on the last turn.

I see what your saying about the heavy weapons....I'll try that. I still want to take death company as well so maybe a few rhino's instead.....

Thanks guys....I'll tweak some more.
