If you use a 3000pt blood angel chapter list
Composing of
1 veteran assault company
1predator detachment
1 land raider/Baal predator (not fuigured out what it will take)
Load them into a marine drop ship
1 battle company loaded into 3 t-birds
And 1 death company loaded into a t-bird
I think you broke the game
Simple math veteran assult units 16 breakpoint 10
Battle company units 17 breakpoint 15 and one hiten company hq and rhino
Death company units 8 breakpoint one hiten chaplain
I don't think this should be a way to play the game but all right if you say so let carnage commence
Okay, lets break this down.
The Vet Assault Company still has a BP of 15, even when mounted in the dropship and to start with you have 19 stands. You lose 3 to the death company, which count towards your BP. So you need to lose 12 of the remaining 16 stands to be broken.
Similarly with the Battle Company, BP of 15 even in THawks. 19 stands plus the command rhino, lose 3 to the death company, leaving you with 17 models, again which you need to lose 12 of to be broken.
Now you have a death company of 6 stands plus the chaplin, so 7 in total. Unfortunately they won't fit into the THawk. The Chaplin is part of the unit and has to go with them as per the rules. Taken from the Blood Angels section in the Gold book:
"Commanding the fanatic marines is a task that taxes the abilities of even the best commanders, forcing the Chaplain to concentrate on his troops and disregard other units around him. Thus,
he is not only bound to the unit and unable to break formation with it, but also devoid of the normal Chaplain ability of raising the CAF of the nearby troops.
As he is part of the unit he acts with the rest of the troops and is not given separate orders. However, the Chaplain is still considered a HQ stand for purposes of targeting."
So you can not leave the Chaplin and a Rhino hiding. He has to go with the rest of the death company. Sorry.
But like most others have said, there are ways to fight this and most AA units are still usable even if not facing fliers.
I also think this list would struggle against a titan once you have landed, you don't exactly have the heavy weapons to deal with it.
