This is what i came up with.

Hq
Reclusiarch
Death Company Tycho

Troops
10x assault marines, 2x melta, power fist
10x assault marines, 2x melta, power fist
10x marines with laz, plaz, fist

8x Death Company -w 5x power wep and 1x fist
Transport Land raider with multi melta and extra armor

Elites
Sanguinary priest with jump pack and power wep

Fast attack
Baal pred with assault cannon heavy bolters and extra armor
Baal pred with assault cannon heavy bolters and extra armor
Baal pred with assault cannon heavy bolters and extra armor

Heavy support
Pred with autocannon and 2x laz
Pred with autocannon and 2x laz
Pred with autocannon and 2x laz


Pretty much lots of predators with 1 super squad in a land raider to either smash face or draw fire depending on the situation. Assault units can be spit to tank hunt or stay together with the priest for feel no pain. 9 lazcannons to hopefully deal with some enemy armor and transports.

My Blood angels codex is back at home (im at uni currently and local GW is a poor one) so im not 100 percent sure, but when tycho is normal regular captain he counts as a independent character under his rules. but under the death company tycho rules he loses this. why? i have no idea, but he becomes like the sanguinor and mephiston. or so i believe. again not got the book to hand.

He loses Independent Character because he lost his ability to think tactically.

However, it says he's inducted to death Company, so I am in the camp that means he part of death co.- an upgrade character that you buy as an HQ.

agree with the reason as to why he loses it, i meant more rules wise- why he didnt maintain it for being able to join the death company, but your point of inducted into the DC is an interesting one as then it matters not if he loses the independant character rule. however i am unsure as to whether or not he definetly does counts as part of the death company wold need to be able to see my book to give an honest opinion :confused:

Your Tactical Squad should really be in a rhino. I'd get rid of extra armor on the Baal Preds. (+45). Change one Baal to Hv Flamer Sponsons (+5). Change one Predator Destructor to a Mortis Dreadnough with 2 twin-linked autocannons (+15). Take the rhino (-50), and add an Infernus Pistol to the Reclisiarch (-15).

The Reclisiarch + Tycho will give 2 Melta shots to Death Co.-- that's good because there will be occasions where you'll run into something big, and you just want it dead, or you'll want to pop a transport and charge the guys that bailed out.

The Mortis is a great Transport Popper. However, you might want to stick with the Pred Destructor (meaning you'll have to ditch the Reclisiarch's Infernus Pistol).

One Baal with Hv Flamers and Assault Cannons gives a bit of flexibility. Not to mention, getting a Rhino for your Tactical Squad is imperative.

This is the ONE thing in the codex that is contentious: Is Death Company Tycho apart of Death Company?
(anyone who says DoA is contentious forgot to read the line that says other deep strikers don't benefit from DoA).
The codex is unclear-- it says he's death company-- you can only have 1 death company (unless you take astorath). This, to me, implies he's apart of Death Company. It makes perfect sense...

However, the rules are not explicit, in this respect- they are vague. Which makes it really hairy for Tournament settings, especially 'Ard Boyz, where people are crazy about every rule.
