Well, mad doc wants to see what the Blood Angels can throw down.
Lets see...
HQ: Librarian with Shield of Sanguinus and Fear of Darkness 100pts
I like these powers , especially Fear... at 1250pts making a unit run off of the board is truly terrifying. Its my secret little "@%$# you Wolves" power.
Troops, we need them. I like my 3 Troop template so lets start with this.
5 Assault marines w melta gun 165pts
Las/plas Razorback
Three of these will be good. For ten more points then the Space puppies we get a fast vehicle (IMPORTANT...I'll talk about it later)
Now for the fun parts, eveyone put on their Green hats and follow along with me...
DAKKA! DAKKA! DAKKA! DAKKA!
Predator with Heavy Bolters 100pts
Predator with Heavy Bolters 100pts
Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
so the list looks like this...
HQ: Librarian with Shield of Sanguinus and Fear of Darkness 100pts
5 Assault marines w melta gun 175pts
Las/plas Razorback w Hunter Killer
5 Assault marines w melta gun 175pts
Las/plas Razorback w Hunter Killer
5 Assault marines w melta gun 175pts

Predator with Heavy Bolters 100pts

Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
Baal Predator with Ass cannon and Heavy Bolters 145pts
First off... Bully will like this... just have an inkling...
Now where is the advantage to this list, It can shoot, but most armies can do that.
The power of this list is mobility. Just how fast the list can move and redeploy is a HUGE factor I'm finding. At 1250 people are busy taking mostly the basics and are left with only a few truly mobile forces. This army is perfect for punching those few transports down and then just running circles of Armor 13 around armies that arent ready for it. The Fast abilities this army has are totally worth the 15 points more for each vehicle. I'm paying 120pts for my fast status and I think its worth the price.
Anybody remember the flying rodes that the Eldar played? Well now the Blood Angels can play that game in ways that I cant imagine.
Even my Space Wolf list would suffer. Turn one my wolves would lose their Thunderwolves and by turn two my Razor backs are dead. The rest of the game would just be like I was fighting eldar...but they shoot better then EVERYONE.
This list is a monster to face and currently making people shudder at the thought. What are your thought people? Next list is a little more themed but I can tell you it will be a "Rockfist" of a time...
Terrifying indeed. Now i imagine a CSM army on the other side... :( <- sadface for chaos.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the big player there is some lash/obliterator list. This should do something, killing obliterators is hard though.

ReplyDeleteI recognise this list ... lol
ReplyDeleteThis is v.similar to what I posted over in the original thread, but with some nice refinements (HKM's over hand weapon upgrades).
Like you say that list is damn fast. You can reposition strong shots for side armor etc..
Its amazing how anyone could under rate fear. Nearly every game I've had success with it, or at least been near success (2 games ago I feared a command squad, anything but double 1 they are off the board, guess what .. snake eyes).
5 preds at 1250 - thats just fear some - I re-tool about to get this to 1500 - no HKM's, autolas's instead of dakka's and a 4th razor.
Interestingly, over the past say 4 or 5 games, lasplas's have started to outshine my AC's and really starting to think about leaving my only AC's as the baals who can scout to get that 24" and not be as "exposed" via smoke/AV13 etc..
But like you say, that is a huge ammount of shooty at 1250 where some people would be still "getting the basics" together. - x5 AV13 alone, woof.
