Welcome to Gaia! ::

It just seems strange that they're in it. The enemy is gonna be like "OMFG TERMINATORS. Oh wait, Assault squad????"

@fire, regrettably, no
Well here is a re-tooled list.
EDIT: retooled again, replaced the terminators with a 10 man death company in a redeemer
It has three things in mind
1. Dominate in the movement phase
2. Dominate in an assault
3. Ignore Leadership tests
As to dominating in an assault, i am tempted to swap the tacticals out for death company, but the flip side is i would have fewer models in the army, this stands at about 40 marines right now.

All suggestions are welcome

Yeah, you'd need to Ram anything over Armour 12 on all sides to destroy it, and even then, it'd be pretty hard.

You only have four weapons (meltas) that will reliably take out high armor. In 2k points, you will probably get kicked around a little bit by highly mechanized forces. That said, your Baals should be able to skirt around and kick at rear armor and your Vindicators will possibly be able to punch armor.

That's my only big concern.

Land Raiders can be taken as Dedicated Transports for Tactical Squads if I'm not mistaken, minus any force organization chart penalties.

And they can deep-strike.. sweatdrop

ok, here is my plan for the knights of blood army im building, it will be using the basic space marine codex, even though they are a blood angels successor chapter. and before you ask, this army is intended for very large standard missions ( all weekend games )


HQ

chapter master, power sword,storm bolter,artificer armour
honour guard(5 man), chapter banner, razor back, twin linked lascannon, dozer blade
master of the forge, power sword

Elites

terminator squad(10 man),cyclone missile launcher, assault cannon ( inside the land raider )
venerable dreadnought,extra armour, plasma cannon, drop pod, locator beacon
terminator assault squad(10 man), 5 thunder hammers, 5 lighting claws

troops

tactical squad alpha(10 man), heavy bolter, rhino, dozer blade, storm bolter
tactical squad beta(10 man), heavy bolter, rhino, dozer blade, storm bolter
tactical squad charlie(10 man), missile launcher, rhino, dozer blade, storm bolter
tactical squad delta(10 man), missile launcher, rhino, dozer blade, storm bolter
tactical squad echo(10 man), melta bombs, flamer, drop pod, locator beacon
tactical squad foxtrot(10 man) melta bombs, flamer, drop pod, locator beacon

Fast attack

land speeder squadron(3 land speeders), 1 multi meltas, 1 typhoon missile launcher, 2 tornado pattern assault cannons
bike squad alpha(8 bikers), melta bombs, attack bike, multi melta
bike squad beta (8 bikers), melta bombs, attack bike, multi melta

heavy support

ironclad dreadnought, 2 hunter killer missiles, ironclad assault launchers, drop pod, locator beacon
ironclad dreadnought, 2 hunter killer missiles, ironclad assault launchers, drop pod, locator beacon
land raider redeemer, Hunter-killer missile


total points: roughly 4500


tactics:

use tactical squad alpha, beta, charlie and delta to hold positions, setting up choke points.

tactical squad echo and foxtrot, all dreadnoughts, drop pod behind the enemy, or infrount of them, depending on deployment.

assault terminators use the locator beacons to home in on the drop pods, assisting in the forward attack.

land raider drops off normal terminators at a choke point, then moves up with the bikes and land speeders infrount.

chapter master deploys outside of the razorback on the first and second turn, and uses orbital bombardment on the enemy, then charges forwards using the razorback and his honour guard.

master of the forge sits there and repairs any broken down rhinos.

the honour guard can be included with the chapter master, as they dont take up a hq choise, they may be listed in the HQ section, but theyre just a bodyguard for the master



( sorry if my previous version of this was b*tchy, i was in a bit of a bad mood at the time )

sorry about that, i, slightly un-b*tchified it
