1500 Shooting Blood Angels

[ElectricPaladin]

Have you considered going unbound and just spamming sternguard in drop pods for instance?

I might try it someday, but at the moment I don't have enough Sternguard or drop pods...

Admittedly I haven't played with my B.angels for the longest time, but I can just see your troops melting under heldrake spam, or any ap3 badness, kinda destroying the point of having them in the first place you know? Also, unless you're really really interesting in being fluffy, why not just field them using C:SM rather than blood angels? No special rules in their codex actually benefits a shooty army, and as assault is gimped.. :\

Well, the entire point of this army is to play around with a counts-as Captain Tycho, because that special character comes with a few interesting special rules. If I wanted to play Codex Marines, I'd have hung on to my Exorcists, or actually gotten around to stripping them and turning them into Sons of Medusa.
