Blood Angel List- Zero Mech

Howdy, everyone!  Today I wanted to give you a list I've been thinking about playing.  It's a little different than my all assault marine list, in that it sacrifices a few wounds and combat ability in order to threaten tanks more.  Here's the list:


1850 Blood Angels:

Mephiston
Librarian w/ Jump Pack, Fear of the Darkness, Unleash Rage

Sanguinary Priest w/ combi-melta, Jump Pack
Sanguinary Priest w/ combi-melta, Jump Pack
Sanguinary Priest w/ infernus pistol, Jump Pack

10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Melta Guns, Infernus Pistol, Thunder Hammer
10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Melta Guns, Infernus Pistol, Thunder Hammer
10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Melta Guns, Infernus Pistol, Thunder Hammer

3x Attack Bikes w/ 3x Multi-melta
3x Attack Bikes w/ 3x Multi-melta
3x Attack Bikes w/ 3x Multi-melta

So, lots of melta, lots of fast moving awesomeness.  I took the Sanguinor out in favor of Mephiston, since I felt I needed a little more raw killy power in the list.

The thing I think I like most about it are the Attack Bikes + FNP combo.  T5 on Turbo-boosting multi-wound models is hard enough to pop- add FNP into the mix and it gets quite a bit harder to deal with.  The assault squads would be behind the bikes most times, ready to jump in and counter-assault if someone decided they wanted a piece of the Attack Bikes.

There isn't a whole lot of 'super-range' in the list, but I don't think it requires it, honestly, due to the speedy nature of the army itself.

What do you think?
