Blood Angels lists for 6th Edition


So this week I came up with a few lists for 6th Edition 40k with my Blood Angels that I want to try out. I made a list for 1,500 points for our Pyramid League, and a 2,000 point list (or, "1,999 + 1"). Here's what's in them and how I plan on using them.
1,500 pts
HQ
Mephiston (rolling for 3 Biomancy Psychic Powers)

ELITE
10x Terminators (2x Cyclone Missile Launchers, 2x Chainfists)
Terminator Sanguinary Priest

TROOPS
5x Assault Marines (Flamer, Power Fist), Las/Plas Razorback
5x Assault Marines (Meltagun), Las/Plas Razorback
5x Assault Marines (Meltagun), Las/Plas Razorback

FAST
Land Speeder Typhoon
Land Speeder Typhoon

2,000 pts
HQ
Mephiston (Biomancy again)
The Sanguinor

ELITE
10x Terminators (2 Cyclones, 2 Chainfists)
Terminator Sanguinary Priest

TROOPS

5x Assault Marines, Las/Plas Razorback
5x Assault Marines, Las/Plas Razorback
5x Assault Marines, Las/Plas Razorback

FAST
Land Speeder Typhoon
Land Speeder Typhoon

HEAVY
Predator (Lascannon Sponsons)
Predator (Lascannon Sponsons)

So basically the point of these lists is to be fairly mobile and deadly using the new rules, without a lot of hard work put into them lol. Mephiston will swap his powers for 3 Biomancy powers, hoping obviously for Iron Arm and Endurance. Him and The Sanguinor will be much more resilient in 6th with that 2+ armor save, and The Sanguinor will do fairly well with that 3+ invul anyways. There are also 8 missiles, 3 Lascannons, and 3 Plasmaguns in both lists, with the 2k list having 2 more Lascannons and 2 Autocannons. That's not very impressive overall, but considering it is all highly mobile, it poses a decent threat.


Again, these aren't really power lists but it uses some pretty hard-hitting units. I will be running these this weekend in our club's Pyramid League and in other games so we'll see how they do!

  1. Looking good. Only thing I'd be worried about is low troop count. Also, you might wanna test out Vindicators instead of Predators in some future lists. They kick some real ass now :)

  2. I ran the 1,500 pt list and won 3 out of 3 games with it, but I've got some new ideas I want to try out, and I'll make a post about it in a little while. :D

  4. Vindicator x2 is a plan... Low troop count armies need template shots against IG and Tyranids...any army with more troops
