An Irrational Fear of Vampires

Or Blood Angels.

These pesky buggers are, to put it politely, just a little bit of a pain in the arse. In fact whenever my Deathwatch army see them they shake their little plastic heads and say 'Bollocks, it'll be an early bath for me then'.

But it needn't be. In fact, this year I'm going to make it my goal to stomp them into the ground. Metaphorically of course. So how am I going to do it? Well, first of all I'm going to look at something that can bog them down with a  better than zero chance of staying alive and there's only really one option open to a Vanilla player for that, Terminators.

Basically I'm looking for the Dreads and Devastator Squads to tie down the middle ground whilst the Scouts Drop the Locator Beacon in behind Nosferatu and his pesky crew. Bring the Terminators in behind with the Chaplain and then let them loose.

The reason I've went with so many Heavy Bolters and Assault Cannons is simply to put a rapid amount of fire down the range, hopefully whittling the buggers down.

This is pretty much the same as the 1750 pts list with an added Devastator Squad, Razorback and Scout Biker.

Comments and criticisms would be more than welcome.
