Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Blood Angels (section)

====Archangels====
This is essentially the First Company of the Blood Angels as an army.  This means lots of Termies and Vets, as the FOC shows.

=====Archangels Warlord Traits=====
# '''Grim Determination''': Warlord is Fearless - not so great if your warlord is a chaplain, where it's already there.
# '''Aggressive Defence''': Warlord and his unit have Counter-Attack, which isn't bad so you can react to whatever charges.
# '''Blood Champion''': Re-roll to-hit in a challenge.  It's not bad, and most of your HQs can do okay with it.
# '''Master of the Field''': Warlord and his unit get [[AWESOME|Objective Secured]].  AWESOME.  Stick with a squad with Cyclones.
# '''Lord of Baal''': Units within 12" may re-roll failed morale checks, pretty much exactly the same as a normal standard bearer.  At least it sorta saves cash from spending it on the new relic banner.
# '''Angel of Death''': Grab Preferred Enemy.  Good take.

=====Archangels Strike Force=====
This detachment's fluff is meant to depict the entire First Company, and what better way to portray that by only allowing 2 HQ and 16.  ELITES.  SLOTS.  Yeah, 16 elites slots, 10 reserved for Termies and Vets, while the other 6 are for Dreadnoughts (sadly no Libby Dreads, so that Dread Army with [[Bjorn]] and '''MURDERFANG THE MURDERBORN''' will have to wait), and the HQs need to be Termies.  Using it brings back the classic d6" deep strike scatter on ALL units (not just Jump Infantry like with Descent of Angels), re-rolls on failed reserves and a re-roll on the new Archangels Warlord Traits Table. 
*The reduced scatter distance would stack with the Descent of Angels warlord trait for '''perfectly''' accurate deep striking for Jump Infantry in the detachment, especially since you may "choose" to roll on the new traits, rather than being forced to. But your FOC re-roll only applies to the Archangels traits.

=====Relics of the Archangels=====
Note, that these relics are taken in ''addition'' to the Relics of Baal, rather than replacing them. 

#'''Banner of the Archangel Host''': Terminator Assault squad banner. Same rules as any other by granting morale re-rolls, but also grants Preferred Enemy to the unit, makes for a cheap pseudo-chaplain.
#'''Archangels Edge''': A terminator-sergeant relic, which limits the utility only slightly. But for only 5 points more than the Sergeant's Power Sword you can Instant Death MC's on a 6 to-wound.
#'''Executioner's Hood''': Psyker can now ignore Shadow in the Warp. Extremely situational, but great to rub it in to the crying Tyranid player that when you perils you use your unmodified kickass Ld to test.
