List Review
So I know that Blood Angels are not considered the most competitive army in the current 6th Edition meta but they are the models that I own so I have really been trying to make them work. While many of the units are not the most efficient anymore, there are three in particular that I feel are still powerful – Furioso dreadnaughts, Stormravens, and Death Company. This list attempts to put those together. The recusiarch and death company go in one raven and the 5 man assault squad with jump packs go in the other as a late game objective grabber. I would be interested in any feedback, even if it changes the list dramatically or adds in allies somewhere, etc. I’m just looking to keep using my boys with pride.

Yeeman, Cody Jiru was the Winner of the Guardian Cup: Bracket 1.
Good for him!
the Dc charging termies will kill will win every time. 16 bolter shots, then assault with 28 ws5 strength 5 reroll to hit and to wound. the power fist isn’t needed, though it is 4 attacks, with re rolls. that’s not including the reclusiarchs attacks.
I’d put hurricane bolters on the storm ravens, they are just too useful as the game progresses,
the main problem with DC in a stormraven is that, if they get shot out while zooming, everyone is dead. my favourite unit in an SR is thunder hammer termies, they can actually survive zooming death:). add Corbulo/priest and a libby/chap.. to taste
I’d swap the power axe with an infernus pistol[or two pistols, try and wrangle some points] for four melta shots out of a pod. the axe will just get your sarg killed, he can be challenged out and he’s stuck at initiative one
that’s my thoughts:). I play BA all the time, good luck:)
Is GTA gonna get off his lazy ass and write a recap of the GG cup?
He better!
He needs to stop clapping those hands and get to typing.
Just been to a large and very competitive tournament in the UK that allowed FW (64 players), tbh there was not much FW there. No sign of the sabers and thudd guns that had been all the rage prior to Tau. Now it seems the meta is about unkillable deathstars – screamers and beastpacks/seer councils or just lots of shooting with Tau and eldar (mech – wave serps and hornets). There was a lot of space marines but they didnt fair well.
Haha yeah unfortunately eldar is everywhere.
Wait a minute…..FRANKIE DOESN’T READ THINGS?!?!?!??? SHOCKED! SHOCKED I AM GOOD SIR!
Good show Frankie. Even if we do miss the dulcet tones of the Reecinator.
Thank you good sir
Gotta go back and re-read Lords of War… it’s not just Primarchs, it’s the Super Heavy slot. 🙂
