So a quick breakdown. The battalion is there really to supply much needed CP to fuel Captain Slamguinius. Gives me some reliable objective holders too in the form of Intercessors. They are just superior in almost everything to tactical marines, particularly for Blood Angels.
Form a gunline with them and the Mortis Dread handing out with the Deredo to take advantages of its bubble invulnerable. I thought about 2 mortis dreads, but I would want to spread them out. Thus I went with a devastator squad instead. Same number of heavy bolters (though with a little more splitfire utility), more fragile HOWEVER they can go many places a dread can't and benefit from cover. Thus their inclusion. Put them on the table away from the Deredo and you can still have them be protected. Anywho, those units will prodvide a solid and hard to kill firewall.
The Leviathan is meant to ride down in that drop pod and storm around wrecking face unsupported. Hoefully he can clutch some pretty vital first turn kills with him and...
CAPTAIN SLAM
Not going to talk too much about him here, but a captain equipped as I equipped him and with the appropriate strategems, can be a death fueled nightmare for people. Able to pretty much solo anything in the game. Supported by a Leviathan... DEATH.
I feel like this list does a good job blending all the toys available without being too OP or too fluffy. It is designed to win missions and handle the various problem lists out there can present it, from massed firepower to flyer wings. Can't wait to run it.
