I'll go into more detail with an article on the main board soon, but the idea/theme for this list is for two threats buffed to the hilt (and with enough synergy/chaff from the supporting elements to pull it off). This was supposed to be theoretical, but I actually had a game with it this other night on the spur of the moment (report arrive soonTM). Below is my initial gambit and I'm sure there's room for improvement; I certainly have some ideas on where to go with it 2000 "Troop Spam" TAC list Blood Angels Battalion Detachment HQ Captain ~ Master-crafted boltgun, thunder hammer, jump pack ~ Warlord: Artisan of War Captain ~ Master-crafted boltgun, chainsword ~ Veritas Vitae Troops Scouts (5) ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword ~ Combat blade (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword ~ Combat blade (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Shotgun (4) Elites Company Ancient ~ Boltgun Terminator Squad (5) ~ Storm bolter, power sowrd ~ Assault Cannon, power fist ~ Storm bolter, power fist (3) Fast Attack Scout Bikes (3) Scout Bikes (3) Blood Angels Battalion Detachment HQ Librarian ~ Bolt pistol, force stave, jump pack ~ Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius, Smite Sanguinary Priest ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword, jump pack Troops Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Heavy Support Rapier Carrier (1) ~ Quad launcher Devastator Squad (5) ~ Armorium Cherub ~ Bolter (3) ~ Grav-cannon & grav-amp ~ Heavy bolter Devastator Squad (5) ~ Armorium Cherub ~ Bolter (3) ~ Grav-cannon & grav-amp ~ Missile Launcher Blood Angels Vanguard Detachment HQ Lieutenant (2) ~ Hand flamer, chainsword, jump pack (Angel's Wing) (1) ~ Master-crafted bolter, chainsword (1) Elites Sanguinary Ancient ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist, death mask ~ Standard of Sacrifice Sanguinary Guard (4) ~ Angelus boltgun, encarmine sword (3) ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist (1) Sanguinary Guard (4) ~ Angelus boltgun, encarmine sword (3) ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist (1) Musings 14 CP, Captain Smash is the warlord... Block one is two squads of Sanguinary Guard backed up with an Ancient (5++= standard), Priest, Librarian (Rage and Shield), jump lieutenant (with the overwatch blocker jump pack), and the smash Captain Block two is the Terminators, with a foot Captain, Standard, Lieutenant Six Scout Squads and two Scout bike Squads for harassment Smash Captain has the option of going DVoS and rolling up a flank, jump lieutenant can use UWoF to assist if necessary Two Devastators Squads with cherubs for stratagem shenanigans (and the quad launcher nearby). Alternatively, the foot Captain, Lieutenant, Standard can babysit here Two standards for standard shenanigans (see thread I realise the ranged weapon choices are a bit off but I'm attempting to be WYSIWYG as best I can. However, there is some proxying going on meaning I'll likely change this out going forward... The rest of the odd choices are to make the points fit. I'm potentially looking into rolling the two Battalions into a Brigade, just need to work out what to move around and to keep my CPs high. Thoughts?

So a list like this went 5-1 recently. I am new to BA in terms of building an army. I like to have a list before I start to build.
