The Blood Angels

Okay,
    Today I finally got the new Blood Angels codex, and I think that it is awesome. There are a whole pile of new units, characters, as well as a range of miniatures.
    When I read it, I thought of taking a Death Company army, using a big squad of 30 death company, and 5 death company dreadnoughts (with Blood Talons) for my troops choices (including Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost), with Death Company Tycho and Astorath the Grim for HQ choices, or an army containing Commander Dante and lots of Sanguinary Guard, because the Guard look really cool, have 2+ armour saves, and Dante lets me use them a a troops choice, as well as being a great fighter on his own.
   My favorite unit in this codex is the Stormraven Gunship. It has AV 12 all round, and is not affected by melta bonuses, as well as being equipped with 4 bloodstrike missiles (S8), and has a twin-linked Assault cannon, which can be replaced with twin lascannons or plasma cannons, and a twin heavy bolter, which can be replaced with a twin multi melta or typhoon missiles, and can also be upgraded to use 2 hurricane bolters. It gets even better; it can transport 12 people and a dreadnought, and can drop it's units like the grav-chute insertion rule, and, it's also a fast skimmer.
   My favorite model is the Sanguinary Guard, because I like their wings.
