Pre-heresy World Eaters [Blood Angels] - 1500

[Brother Heinrich]

40K Army: Space Marines

Here's the list I'm running for my Pre-Heresy World Eaters army, The Death Co will ride in the Landraider with Tycho while the assault troops move up field and the dreads tie down the enemy deployment zone. I'm on the fence about whether or not to use meltas or flamers with a powerfist sgt for the assault squads, still not sure how survivable PF Sgts are in this edition. anywho, let me know what you guys think, thanks!

HQ:
Captain Argus Brond (Tycho) - 175pts
Land Raider Blade of Fury - 250pts


TROOPS:
Wrathe Berzerker Veterans (10x Death Co) - 1x PF, 2x Hand Flamers, 4x PS - 305pts
Assault Squad Tagore (10x Marines) - 2x Meltas, 1x Power Sword - 225pts
Assault Squad Konan (10x Marines) - 2x Meltas, 1x Power Sword - 225pts


Dreadnought Brutus (Death Co Dread) - 125pts
Drop Pod - 35pts


Dreadnought Wreave (Death Co Dread) - 125pts
Drop Pod - 35pts


Total: 1,500pts

Hey man, I'm liking the general format of list. But(!)... I think it's a bit light on troops?

If its cool to make a suggestion?

My buddies have played a load of 6th Ed games and fliers definitely have the edge now so what about swapping out Land Raider for Stormraven? Meltas don't get the extra D6 penetration and ground troops are on 6's to hit so definitely ups the survivability. And it can get you where you need to be a lot quicker.

Maybe lose Tycho for a standard captain, drop out a dreddie and lose some wargear to try and get another squad of assault marines? Any points left over could go for a landspeeder or sanguinary priest or 2?

Just suggestions tho its your list and we've all got our own playing styles and different opponents! Also might take away some of the World Eaters feel... not quite so point and charge!

Like icag1 said flyers are crazy now so maybe you can try to fit a Stormraven

Thanks for the heads up about flyers, I haven't really played with them in the current edition. My issue as well is trying to figure out what I would count it as in order to keep with Pre-Heresy/Crusade Era fluff. Stormbirds are supposed to be massive and Thunderhawks only really came about towards the heresy as a stopgap later in the crusades.

Id rather win than try putting together an army written by some random guy told to write a ****** story for a game so they can sell more miniatures. But that's me I guess.
