Blood Angels/Flesh Tearers Landraider Lists x 4 (1850 and 2000)

Just messing around with my Codex and came up with what would be, to me, a fun list (actually 4!) to take and just lay down some destruction. I don't believe it would be super competitive, but it would definitely throw people for a loop and be hard to destroy, definitely a tournament spoiler list IMO. It really just lacks board control. Why? Well both lists operate around the core of 3 Land Raiders!!!!


There are a few variants based on changing HQ selections.

1850 Blood Angels
HQ- Librarian- 145: Terminator Armour w/ Storm Shield

Troops- Assault Squad (10)- 250: No Jump Packs, Power Axe & Inferno Pistol, 2 x Plasma Pistol
Dedicated Transport- Land Raider Redeemer- 215: Multi-melta
Troops- Assault Squad (10)- 225: No Jump Packs, Power Sword & Hand Flamer, 2 x Flamer

So the Fire Raptor is for some top cover and AA with its high volume of fire. You also have 2 tanks in each list with TL Assault Cannons, which should chew through aircraft well enough.
All your shooting is really provided by vehicles. Not daunting amounts, but enough to support IMO, and a good diversity of anti-tank and anti-personnel weaponry between them and the Fire Raptor.

The lists really come down to do you prefer a Librarian or Seth? Seth and Corbulo would go with the squad in the Redeemer. The Terminator characters obviously go in the Crusader with the Terminators. On the Librarian, if I used codex powers, I would take Unleash Rage (grant preferred enemy to my TH/SS termies) and Smite (Assault 4 AP2 shooting is always welcome). The priests really help you in this list as you have such a low model count the FNP really makes a difference AND the list is so reliant on the assault that FC is worth its weight in gold... and corpses.
