Blood Angels assault oriented 1,000pts list
« on: December 22, 2011, 10:23:54 AM »
Hi all, would like to have themed force using "descent of angels" & furioso dreadnaughts.  The scout squad is to help put in play the locator beacon so as to assist accuracy of drop pods.

-Librarian w/ jump pack (blood lance and power that makes foes test LD at -2)
-Assault Marines x 9 with infernus pistol & powerfist
-Assault Marines x 9 with infernus pistol & powerfist
-Scouts x 5 with sniper rifles, camo cloaks and locator beacon
-Furioso Dreadnaught with blood talons, extra armour & magna grapple inside drop pod (drop 1st turn)
-Furioso Dreadnaught with blood talons inside drop pod

scouts will infiltrate deep into enemy territory to position the locator beacon
rest of force will try to concentrate forces against foe

thanks for comments, cheers!

Two suggestions:
    1) I'd have the Librarian get the Shield rather than Fear the Darkness. Until your assault squads get into hand-to-hand they are very susceptible to shooting without a priest. You may not get a lot of AP 3 at 1000pts, but people tend to try fit some MEQ-killing weapons into every list.

    2) It might be better to put the locator beacon on the first drop pod to come in rather than with the scouts. I say this because that would allow your scouts to deploy away from the enemy and take advantage of their sniper rifles. *Crazy idea alert* With this set up, you could reserve everything but the scouts and have drop pods and the assault squads just drop in on the other side of the board and concentrate on the enemy's rear. With the re-roll on reserve rolls that DoA gives you, this could work.
