Finalized DieCon GT list

With DieCon only a few weeks away, I've completed finalization on my Blood Angels list for the GT. At 2k this list has given me so many headaches it's silly, far to many ways to go at that point level. But, in the end, I've settled on a DoA list with Mephiston.



2000 Pts - Blood Angels Roster - Meph DoA 2k

Total Roster Cost: 2000

HQ: Mephiston, Lord of Death (1#, 250 pts)
   1 Mephiston, Lord of Death, 250 pts

: Honour Guard (5#, 350 pts)
   1 Honour Guard, 80 pts + Chapter Banner 30 + Equip with Jump Packs 50
      1 Sanguinary Novitiate, 23 pts
      1 Honour Guard, 68 pts = (base cost 23 + Power Fist x1 25 + Storm Shield x1 20)
      1 Honour Guard, 68 pts = (base cost 23 + Power Fist x1 25 + Storm Shield x1 20)
      1 Honour Guard, 58 pts = (base cost 23 + Lightning Claw x1 15 + Storm Shield x1 20)
      1 Honour Guard, 53 pts = (base cost 23 + Meltagun x1 10 + Storm Shield x1 20)

Troops: Assault Squad (10#, 255 pts)
   8 Assault Squad, 159 pts = 8 * 18 (base cost 18) + Infernus Pistol 15
      1 Assault Marine with Meltagun, 28 pts = (base cost 18 + Meltagun 10)
      1 Sergeant, 68 pts = (base cost 28) + Infernus Pistol x1 15 + Power Fist x1 25

Troops: Assault Squad (10#, 255 pts)
   8 Assault Squad, 159 pts = 8 * 18 (base cost 18) + Infernus Pistol 15
      1 Assault Marine with Meltagun, 28 pts = (base cost 18 + Meltagun 10)
      1 Sergeant, 68 pts = (base cost 28) + Infernus Pistol x1 15 + Power Fist x1 25

Elite: Furioso Dreadnought (1#, 140 pts)
   1 Furioso Dreadnought, 140 pts = (base cost 125 + Extra Armor 15 + Talons)

Elite: Furioso Dreadnought (1#, 140 pts)
   1 Furioso Dreadnought, 140 pts = (base cost 125 + Extra Armor 15)

Elite: Sanguinary Priest (2#, 180 pts)
   1 Sanguinary Priest, 0 pts
      1 Sanguinary Priest in Power Armour, 90 pts = (base cost 50 + Jump Pack 25 + Power Sword 15)
      1 Sanguinary Priest in Power Armour, 90 pts = (base cost 50 + Jump Pack 25 + Power Sword 15)

Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship (1#, 215 pts)
   1 Stormraven Gunship, 215 pts = (base cost 200 + Extra Armor 15)

Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship (1#, 215 pts)
   1 Stormraven Gunship, 215 pts = (base cost 200 + Extra Armor 15)

Okay, now here are the disadvantages of the list as I see them:
Short on bodies, with only 32 models total this list is very 'elite' in feel at 2k points.
Depends on deep striking, or doing a flank smash. Anti-DS will hurt to a fair extent.
Not a shooty army, needs to get stuck into CC as fast as possible.

Then there are the advantages I see to this army:
Can kill most anything in CC.
A fair amount of melta, and a lot of Pfists.
FNP and FC bubbles for all the troops and HQ (Meph + Honor Guard = 1 unit)
Can basically pick the point of attack out of DS, DoA helping to get more units out quickly without stringing out dribs and drabs.

Tactically this army works on the idea of loading each raven with a furioso, one loading up with Meph+honour guard, the other possibly loading with a combat squad from one of the ASM squads. Deep Strike everything in, and do everything possible to concentrate them on one section of the enemy army. Then begin to roll through other units, with the ravens as fire support and armor suppression.

Overall I think this will work, it's downsides can be its downfall, but in the end I think that using it in such a way as to keep constant pressure on enemy forces will allow the low model count to not get it wiped.
