We were set up spearhead and seize ground with 3 objectives. I lost the roll to place objective first then lost the roll for choice of sides. The objectives were placed in a straight line almost from one quadrant to the center to the opposite one. My opponent took the one opposite of me and went first. His Anti tank stopped my Baal Preds from ever firing he immobilized my two melta rhinos on turn 1 and I popped only one rhino in return. The game was looking bad. It was a shootout for a while and I was losing it. I started to push toward the objective in the center only to have a Landraider with TH/SS and LC termies pop out as well as a full sternguard squad and a full tac squad in rhinos. I had a 10 man melta squad on foot and 2 5 man squads one with a Sang and the other with my Lib. The Lib lost his squad to firing and then got charged by a termi while the rest went after my last RzR Back holding one of the squads. Luckily my Lib lived and the termies piled in on him. My turn I had the 5 man with the sang hop out. 2x Flamer templates and some bolter fire dropped 4 stearnguard. The melta guys moved in on the termies. I charged and killed 2 TH/SS termies at I5 and then wiffed with 3 PF swings. I lost my Lib to LC attacks. The stearnguard got raped by my 2 PWs and lost a total of 4 more guys including the PF sarge. They ran and I caught them and they lost down to 1 guy whiched I finished in the next combat. I managed to wiff again on my PF vs termies and killed non and lost 1. I cleared the termies with my 2x pw 6 man squad and then moved onto the objective on turn 5. Turn 6 I took a ton of fire and an assault from his Lib and another 5 man squad. The PF continued missing and my other squad didnt do much better. The game ended with each of us having our own objectives and the middle contested. I beat him on kps 8 to 7 but that was not part of the game so it was a draw.

I am still learning the Blood Angels and this game really showed me what I should change and work on. I love the 5 man squads and the sang joining them and having 2 pws and 2 flamers. I want to run it with 3 flamers and just make them dangerous to everything. I learned to stop going for a shootout and just push. I have enough close combat power to not be afraid and to actually make my opponent afraid of what I can do. When a 6 man squad can drop a 10 man marine squad in a single turn you know you have done something right. I have made some changes to my list and I like version 2 much better. Just wait and see on my next 1850 Batrep!
