Of Blood and Blade: My Blood Angels 2k List

Death Company Artist Unknown

Here is my first Blood Angels (BA) list based on a 2,000 point force. I’m also working on a 1850, 1750, and 1500 point army as well. I’m going troop heavy, but may swap an assault squad for a Baal Pred. based on troop survivability as a whole. I’ve read other players classify the fifth edition (5E) as a finesse army- so I want to give myself a little room for mistakes.

My plan is to attach a Priest to my assault Terminators, wrap them up in a big ball of Land Raider Crusader and then use my scout squad to deep strike them in safely into the enemy’s flanks. I’ll attach additional Priests and a Chaplain to my assault troops and pile each of those four squads into a Razorback for fast attack. Three of my four Razorbacks will equip twin-linked assault cannons- my plan to focus fire devastation as much as possible. The fourth Razorback will field a flamer cannon which I will use to punish a troop heavy enemy unit. I’m only fielding two Baal Preds’ (rather than three), and I’d prefer the third. I’m sure after a few games I’ll find the tempo for this army and substitute an assault squad for a Baal Pred.
