2500 Points of Assault Marines

Per Stelek's demands, here’s the Blood Angels assault list I ran at last years ‘Ard Boyz.

Dante
Corbulo
Honor Guard w/ jump packs, melta x2, melta bombs x2, sanguinary priest and chapter banner
Honor Guard w/ jump packs, melta x2, melta bombs x2 and sanguinary priest
Death Company x8 w/ jump packs
Veteran Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist, lightning claw pair x2, melta x2 and melta bombs x1
Veteran Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist, lightning claw pair x2, melta x2 and melta bombs x1
Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x5 w/o jump packs in rhino

The rhino squad is there to give Corbulo a burst forward on turn 1 if possible but you can do it without the tank if you’d rather go no vehicles. Other than that, the list plays pretty straight forward… go get the other guy. The list struggles against mech but can still get the job done with its meltas and krak grenades (Just hope you don’t wiff against a redeemer or you will pay for it…). If you run into a foot list… just smile and try not to be too much of an asshole. If I was going to play with the list again, I might make some changes to increase the number of bodies and the effectiveness against mech like so:

Veteran Assault Squad x5 w/ melta x2 and melta bombs x1
Veteran Assault Squad x5 w/ melta x2 and melta bombs x1

Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x10 w/ power fist and melta bombs
Assault Squad x5 w/o jump packs in rhino w/ melta bombs

The problem is, I love my lightning claws so I’d most likely leave it the way it was.
