Editing Warhammer 40,000/6th Edition Tactics/Blood Angels (section)

==Building your Army==

The Blood Angels battleforce has been released. Start with that. Then start filling in your base. Get yourself an HQ model and another Space Marine squad.
Alternatively, go purchase Astorath the Grim. Now, go onto EBay and spam-buy yourself Death Company. Since Astorath removes the 0-1 Death Company limit, and Death Company are a Troops choice, an army of said BLACK DEATH awaits.
You can also buy Commander Dante and fill out your troops with Sanguinary Guard. You get your elites slots free for anything you like.


Here's an in depth look, a little spammy, but a nice starting point you can add flavor to!
Fill out your troops with assault marines. 
A couple squads of 10 of them (with the jump packs!), sergeant with power weapon and 2 meltaguns marines is a pretty good composition. 
Add 1 or 2 sanguinary priests for the survivability.

Get librarians for your HQ. Jump packs to keep pace!

BA are a pretty good mech list, with all the tanks being fast, so get a predator(s) with autocannon on top, and lascannons on the side. (for the maximum price efficiency)

Also with the buff to fliers- add a stormraven. (I know they cost a lot, but it helps)
Throw a Furioso dread in that, and add a nice hammer unit. (Though don't waste too many points) 

pretty balanced base start with and add on to

If you go a DC list, IG allies are a fine buy, because they provide you with infantry platoon - a reliable scoring unit.

Also, for a laugh, have a one-detachment force with 11 Dreads ''(3 Dreads, 3 Furiosos, 5 DC Dreads)'', and laugh your face off when you drop-pod half of them in on turn 1.
