The Blood Angel assault company is called the "Death Company". They
are lead by a Chaplain and are about to die of a genetic flaw in the
Blood Angel gene seed.

I don't know how they play in Epic40K but they are deadly in 40K.

I get the impression that a majority of players on this list only play
Epic and don't have access to the flavor text (fluff?) in other GW
games.

The flavor from the 40K books does add a lot to a battle. We have
discovered that an all Terminator, all Landraider, 10 Deathstrike
Missile Launcher Army unbalances the game.

GW follows a laundry list of unwritten rules (i.e. flavor text,
written I know, but you know what I mean) when they design their games
and make their armies. If you discover a flaw in the rules and design
an unbeatable army, BIG DEAL. Go play a game vs a computer.

In a War "Game" the thrill is the possibility of defeat by a human
opponent. You may win every time with a "cheesy" army, but the Thrill
of Victory will only come when you face the possibility of defeat.

Has anybody played with the Blod Angels Death Angels squad yet (that
is what
they are called isn't it ?, you know the black ones with the red
crosses)

I remeber a lot of umm.. "discussion" about how cheesy they appeared i
was wondering if they were worth fielding or if they really did
unbalance
the game to much.
