Blood Angels Jumper list... a proper one

Really, this kind of list can only be effective at this points level without Dante and some different HQ and elite choices. Really need to the Feel No Pain and Furious charge bubble going with some S-Priests. One priest to run with the jumps (jump pack and lightning claw) the other bare-bones to hang with the devastators. The librarian also goes with assault troops to provide the 5+ cover saves.

HQ: Librarian (Shield of Sanguinius, +1 power, jump pack)
125 points

Elites: Elite: 2x Sanguinary Priests (1x jump pack, 1x lightning claw)
140 points

Troops: Assault Squad (10, 2xmelta-gun, lightning claw)
Troops: Assault Squad (10, 2xmelta-gun, lightning claw)
Troops: Assault Squad (10, 2xmelta-gun, lightning claw)
675 points

Heavy Support: Devastator Squad (5, 4x missile launchers)
Heavy Support: Devastator Squad (5, 4x missile launchers)
260 points

43 space marines, with feel no pain and furious charge. It might just work, although I don't really want t buy all those assault marines.

I'm sticking with Dante for HQ, and a big silly deathstar unit. The rest is all shooty stuff.

1200 point Grey Knights (again)

Trying not to build a pure Coteaz list, but a 50/50 list that is half inquisition and half grey knights. Also a non-spam army, not too cheesy army. While I subscribe to the idea to "take two of everything good", in this list that is not possible due to point size and the 50/50 rule.

HQ: Coteaz: 100

Troops: 3x Servitors (with plasma cannons and/or multimelta); Chimera: 115
Troops: 5x Warrior Acolytes (stormbolters); Razorback (with psybolt ammo): 85
Troops: 6x Psykers; Rhino: 105
Troops: 10x Death Cult Assassins; Chimera (extra armor): 205
(510 of inquisitorial troops)

HQ: Inquisitor with rad and psyotroke grenades: 75

Troops: 5x Terminators (sword, daemon hammer, 2x halberds, falchions, psycannon) 235
Fast Attack: 5x GK Interceptor Strike Squad (daemon hammer or psycannon): 140
Heavy Support: Dreadnought (2x twin-linked auto-cannon, psybolt ammo): 135
(510 of GKs)

Edit:

Tempting to find a way to add this unit:
Heavy Support: 5x GK Purgation Squad (4x incinerator): 100

Need another troop unit.

Sanguinary priest (jump pack)
--or--
Troop: Tactical Squad (10, flamer and plasma cannon; or melta-gun and multimelta)

Other items to consider:

Another Landspeeder (multimelta, flamer)
A Sang priest with jump pack?
Another unit of 5 scouts?
Company banner and a couple more scouts?

Consider some units for a mixed list. e.g. a Crowe/Coteaz hybrid list

Coteaz: 100

2x Purifer squad (5 models, 4x halberd, 1x daemon hammer, razorback with psybolt ammo): 183
2x DCA unit 205
2x Psyker unit 120

86 points left.

Blood Angels 1200 pts, mkII

A list I can field without buying new models

Dante
Sanguinary Guard (5, infernus pistol and banner)
465 points

Tactical Squad (10, flamer, plasma cannon, power fist)
Assault Squad (10, flamer, meltagun, thunder hammer)
435 points

Devastator Squad (3x missile launchers, 1x lascannon)
Devastator Squad (3x missile launchers, 1x lascannon)
290 points

Blood Angels 1200 pts.

Thinking about entering a 1200 points tournament.

Starting with my basic 1000 pt army, need to add 200 pts:

HQ Death Star Unit:
Dante
Sanguinary Guard (infernus pistol and banner)
Sanguinary Priest with power weapon and jump pack
555 points

Assault Squad with 8 marines and thunder hammer
Devastator Squad with 4x missile launchers
Devastator Squad with 4x missile launchers
444 points

The problems are only having two troop units and so many points sunk in the Dante's death star unit.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The easy option is adding another Sanguinary guard unit for 200 points.

Another option, to mix it up a bit is to add some armor with three land speeders with multi-melta and flamer (and have 20 points left over) or even 1-2 of the above and 1-2 stock standard Predators.

Another option is a Baal Predator (plus a landspeeder), but one piece or armor is begging to get killed in turn one.

Furioso Dreadnought with blood talons and drop pod and two extra assault marines for assault squad (can now combat squad them... but seems little point).

<><><><><><><><><>

Could drop the priest from Dante's squad.

Then get Baal Predators (flame storm cannons) x2 plus land-speeder (multimelta/flamer)

Another devastator squad, 2 landspeeders, and two more assault marines.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Another list:

Dante
Sanguinary Guard (infernus pistol and banner)
465 points

Sanguinary Guard (infernus pistol)
Sanguinary Guard (infernus pistol)
420 points

Devastator Squad with 4x missile launchers
Devastator Squad with 4x missile launchers
260 points

(55 points left over)

<><><><><><><><><><><>

What do I have...

Dante
20+ model tactical squad
9 model assault squad
1 priest and/or another assault model
5 model sanguinary guard squad
2x 5 model devastator squad
dreadnought (but will need mods)
razorback
rhino

Grey Knights 1200 Mordrak list

HQ:
Mordrak with 5 Ghost knights (sword, hammer, 3x halberd) 400

GKSS (10 models with 2x psycannon, 1x Demon hammer, psybolt ammo) 250
GKTS (5 models with incinerator, daemon hammer, halberd, falchions) 210

Dreadknight with personal teleporter 205

Dreadnought with twin-linked autocannon and psybolt ammo 135

Total 1200.

Notes: Needs transport for GKSS (Rhino-40; Razorback with psybolt ammo 50).

Strategy: Give Dreadknight (+1-2 other units Scout ability). Use 30' teleport move in scout phase to get into assault range. Drop Mordrak's unit close in turn one. If an objectives-based game against a close combat army could make the dreadknight and/or dreadnought troops.


<><><><><><><><><>

Other units:

Need a transport for the GKSS

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (power sword, power armor, 3 servo skulls, psychotroke grenades) 67
With:
Death cult assassins (11 models Chimera) total: 287
Death cult assassins (5 models, razorback with psybolt ammo): 192

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor (hell rifle, power armor, 3 servo skulls) 57
With:
Retinue: 3x servitors (3 models with 3 plasma cannons) total: 117

GKIS (4x swords; 1x daemon hammer) 140

Purifier squad (4x falchions) 140 (anti-horde)

Other option: replace Mordrak with Corteaz
Two of these as troops:
Death cult assassins (6 models, razorback with psybolt ammo): 140
And retinue: 3x servitors (2x heavy bolter; 1x plasma cannon): 40

Without Mordrak and Grand Strategy, the Dreadknight is not much use.
