    I played in 5th, 9th and 10th.
    In 5th you had to take 2 troops choices, and blood angels could take assault marines (then you paid points to add jump packs). They are what attracted me to blood angels, the lore got me hooked. They were really good, and taking them as troops meant you had more slots for other things. I was winning a bunch by the end of the edition.
    Now, with jump intercessors, i wish we could take more than just 3 squads (i want two big squads and two little) because they seem to do a really good job of eliminating targets, screening and establishing board control, well just about everything. A squad of ten dudes with a captain gets 45 str 7 chainsword attacks, and 10 str 11 powerfist attacks. Red rampage and you are gonna get a fair amount of wounds on the oath target.
    Add a sang priest and a good portion of those wounds should stick.
    Vanguard veterans work great. I give mine shields and a sang priest and watch them stack the wounds up. And they take far more to delete than youd expect for a model with t4 and 2 wounds.
    The main job of my gladiator lancers is to draw fire. I run two, in case i go first. Yes i like it when they do some damage, but if they die, then guys with chainswords or powerfists didnt. I still play smart with them, cuz they can do some heavy lifting for sure, but my list functions without them, and i would replace them if i had more van vets.
    I run two big death companies with jump packs. Both have a chaplain, one of those chaplains is lemartes. Lemartes starts on the board, because of his dmg reduction, and the regular chaplain leads the one i rapid ingress.
    Ive managed to pull a 77% win rate against people that usually win local tournaments. The only reason i dont play in tournaments myself is i have a major back issue, and can only play one game a day (and if its a 3k game, i cant finish it, unless we come back to it)

    Very insightful. I think a 'tactical breakdown' (opponent consenting) of more of your battles would be very welcome. I'm not a BA player, but marine players in general can learn a lot about what to do with the generic units.
    I'm a DA player, and I don't play as aggressively as yourself - I utilise teleporting units (Inceptors and terminators) as objective grabbers - but 'how to move' is, in my opinion, such an important part of the game to learn.

    if long been into 40k, but just this month got into the actually playing the game part of the hobby and it's very intimidating starting an army, so many choices, all kinda expensive so there is a big fear of "buying wrong". My current idea for a 1000 point start is to go sanq priest, Lamartes, 2x assault intercessors, heavy intercessors, death company, infiltrators and a balistus dread. got almost 200 points still left not sure if another DC squad or a gladiator is better

    Great video as always! I'm confused a bit by the terrain. though. You say you can move 12" with the death company with jump pack across the ruin that has no really passage. It looks completely blocked. I thought that in this edition you couldn't pass though such ruins and had to either "fly" around or "fly" above which cost movement. Am I missing something?

    I am REALLY interested in using the Combined Arms template in creating lists. My biggest question is how did you come up with each number? For example, why 50% melee? Why not 60%? or 45%? The sane for characters, whey 15%? why not 20%? I mean are those percentages 'just what you use' or do they ever change?

    • @ba_commander

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, I know a few people spotted the 115% but looking at the points numbers in this list, I was checking to see if you had the extra 10 points, for an enhancement on the sang priest for instance, thinking it was 1990 but having double checked the math it's topping out at 2090.

I remember starting to watch yourself a long time ago when I started playing, I'm only playing online using TTS right now and so far in my 10th edition career I only have one win under my belt, which was scored with one model left on the field, being Astorath, with one wound by one point! xD I have tried running a bunch of different list (All including the Callidus and I'm finding her very useful) but my most fun so far was using the list with the 2 predator destructors that you've been using. I've since played around with it a bit swapping for Annihilators and running a couple Baal preds but I've struggled to feel a good synergy going on so far, not to mention bad luck when it comes to shooting Las cannons. I'm personally, exclusively, a blood angels player and I hope to continue to learn to get some more wins! (Namely knowing which armies I should play a bit more defensively against and which ones I should push aggressively in to!) Currently watching your recent Blood Angels Tactics video and hopefully I'll learn something new! Best of luck in your upcoming games! Glory to the Sons of Sanguinius!

    No Sang guard, DC Dread, Baal Preds, Dante or other named characters bar Lemartes in your recommended 100% list... in fact only dedicated Blood Angel units are DC, Sang Priest... and Lemartes. Im sure you know whats more effective, but it doesnt feel "Blood Angel-ly".

      SM factions are more than their characters. More often they’re their stratagems or unique detachment rules. In Blood Angels especially this is the case with SoS

    Normally your maths are good John but 50+30+20+15 doesn’t equal 100

      Be an efficient way to give yourself an edge, play with 15% more points on the table. Not sure it would go down well with opponents though.

      Things can have multi roles I guess. Lieutenant with combi and Callidus are Characters and Scorers for example.

      LOL. I am SURE(?) he was articulating that the Characters percentage make up parts of the Melee/Scoring Unit percentages totals... 😅
