Hi,

Im planning my next army, this time I want a lighter, assault orientated army, fast moving and airmobile. Here is what ive come up with for the initial 2000 points.

Death Company 350
Chaplain
4 Assault Death Company Units
Furioso Dreadnought
Drop Pods

Devastator Detachment 300
4 Devastators
Drop Pods
Vulcan Dreadnought

Devastator Detachment 300
4 Devastators
Drop Pods
Vulcan Dreadnought

Tactical Detachment 325
6 Tacticals
Rhinos
Captain

Assault Detachment 325
6 Assault Units
2 Assault Units

Land Speeders 200

Spacecraft 200
Strike Cruiser

I will bring this force to 3000 points with the following:

Assault Detachment 325
6 Assault Units
2 Assault Units

Thunderhawk 200
Thunderhawk 200

Predators 275

Think you do need to work in some form of AA into the list really.

If you after an assault oriented army, welcome to the world of the Blood Angels

Some thoughts:

-If you play EA, no drop pods for assault marines
-Forget the Vulcan dreadnought! 15cm range vs 45cm range of the Devastators -in case of Engagement, a Furioso is better
-seriously weak from the air -need some Tbolts to Protect you/your Air Assault units
-for a drop army, you need some Termies
-Try to find a place for a Supreme commander -really annoying when SMs don't activate..
-Scouts+ Stormraven are better than Land Speeders (altough more expensive) -use the unique BA units (not just the Baals)
-Seriously weak AT -if you miss the correct DZ (which is possible in a 2000p game -fewer units, same table size -especially against some "low number of minis" armies -SM, AMTL, etc) you need something to deal with the enemy -if engagin him is not possible with a movement rate of 15cm.. Tanks/arty will eat you

So, ive had a re-think. Heres a 3000 point force using the epic UK list.

Death Company 550Pts
4 Death Company unis
Jump packs
Chaplain
Death Company Dreadnought x2
Thunderhawk 200pts

Assault 250pts
6 Assault units
Thunderhawk 200pts

Assault 250pts
6 Assault units
Thunderhawk 200pts

Tactical 475pts
6 Tactical units plus Transport
Supreme Commander
Hunter

Tactical 450pts
6 Tactical units plus Transport
Librarian
Hunter
Razorback LAS

Baal Predators 275pts
4 Baal Predators

Thunderbolts
2 Thunderbolt Fighters

Heavily assault orientated with air cover and AA support.
