Hey gang

Damocles command Rhino

Elites:

5 x Cataphractii - All c.fists,

15 x Assault marines - Combat shields, P.fist, 3x P.axe

15 x Assault marines - Melta bombs, P.fist, 3x P.axe

---------------------------------

Pretty straight forward. The trouble I have is the core is going to be the preator, rhino, apoths, dawnbreakers, termies and javs. After this, it's just a case of having some ground forces (with the javs) to back the rhino up and lay down some shooting turn 1. Will what I have work? Is it better to just go all in on the drop and just hope the rhino makes it?

If you have a better idea for a ground force that can threaten turn 1 then I'm all ears.

I'd love a fire raptor and/or a levi, but points are so tight running 3 assault squads and the breakers. Plus everyone used to run levis and i'm guessing still do so nice to be a little different.

Thanks for checking!

To be fair, i do not play Blood Angels myself, though i like writing lists with them since i'm a big AC fan =]

 

If you want more DS security, you could try and fit some relatifely cheap, scoring Recon Squads with NuncioVox giving you aditional 12" no scatter bubbles.

 

Also, you get special rules in your RoW for firing after dropping. You don't seem to use this at all.

So why not include one or two Squads of Angels Tears with ACs, for example? Just 5 man, 5 ACs, 20 Shots with Pinning - for about 200pts.

And as a bonus, they offer a nice buff in melee, when combi-charging with your Assault Squads.

 

Also,also - a pair of Inferno Pistols in some of the Assault Squads would work well, i think. With pinpoint dropping, the short range shouldnt be a big Problem =]

...from what i've seen on the field so far at least. ^^

Great thanks dude. I like the idea of Angel's tears. Maybe scouts could be a good shout too
