How Are You Running Blood Angels in 10th?

[Jolemai]

There are currently four ways to run BAs:

 

* BA Keyword units + BA Detachment 

* BA Keyword units + SM Detachment

* No BA Keyword units + BA Detachment 

* No BA Keyword units + SM Detachment

 

How are you running yours, and why?

[Karhedron]

So far I have been running the Liberator Assault Group with a variety of BA units (usually Dante +6 SG and Lemartes + DC brick). Not necessarily the only competitive way to run them but fun and fluffy. 

[DemonGSides]

I haven't played BA since the beginning of the edition, but I would be playing them with their fancy toys. See no reason not to. 

[Blindhamster]

I have been pretty much exclusively using LAG, however units I've used have varied from purely space marine to at least one blood angel unit. I've not bothered using the extra oath of moment buff regardless.

 

They've been fun, I dont play competitively, just with friends so actual performance doesnt really matter, I've not lost a game but most of my friends have played far less 40k of any edition.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I haven’t played my angels recently but last time it was generic units and LAG.

 

not really sure what I’ll do next time. I mean it’s no fun to be a BA player and not use any BA units, but LAG and OoM combined is pretty strong without them now.

[Jolemai]

I was debating running a Firestorm Detachment in my last game with no BA Keyword stuff and I couldn't do it (went with LAG). I'm usually option one or three on that list.

[BAjim]

I’ve been very successful running LAG, winning games against Black Templars, Necrons and Tyrannids. Using The Lost Brethren detachment plus The Sanguinor next week against Tyrannids. Will be pure fluff!

Using BA keyword and detachments 

 

[Paladin777]

I've been using LAG, though the only BA specific units I've been using have been SG lately. Prior to the codex drop the only BA specific unit I was using was the SPriest with jump pack.
 

I've generally used a pair of LR's, which have generally worked pretty well for me. 
 

I've been planning on moving away from the big boxes and adding some DC/Sanguinor, but burnout and a brutal work schedule have been getting in the way.

Ive used LAG and Angelic Inheritors. I don't feel the Bloodless Angels enhanced  oath of moment is good enough to displace AI or LAG with Blood Angel unique units.  Our characters are very good and there's a strong incentive to take them. AI or LAG with Dante, Sanguinor, Sanguinary Guard and Mephiston mixed and matched. Core of list is Dante plus 6 SG,  jump pack captain with the other 3 SG, another 2 JAI and Mephiston.   The rest of the list is mixed sometimes  Bladeguard vets and Lieutenant but i've recently changed that to Sternguard Vets and Lieutenant who are much more generalist and their shooting is a massive bonus which benefits from AI.  Ive tried Angelic Inheritors combined with characters and really enjoy it.  AI has benefits all the time in the character units and is actually more powerful than LAG in many situations. Using the Sanguinor in AI is awesome rerolling 1's, what's not to like.  Mephiston is also super strong in AI and I'll often tuck him in with the Sternguard in their impulsor to make a very nasty midfield control unit.  Suppressors are now an auto take for me. With armour of contempt nerfed being able to sprinkle -1 to hit around the board becomes very useful.  I've always got a pair of vindicators and they certainly benefit more in AI than LAG. I'll try and hit opponents shooting early with Suppressors and shred melee with Vindicators.  Scouts, Infiltrators, Inceptors, Bikes are mixed to make up numbers.  In summary BA either in LAG or AI with keyword units has surpassed any SM detachment in my games. Im playing against Dark Angels, Templars, Ultra Calgar/BobbyG, SM, Tyranids.
