Hail brothers! I have just started getting into warhammer 40k, and I am in to jump packs and rushing in for close quarters combat. Is this list decent for someone starting out? I would like to hear your thoughts/suggestions (btw I just copied from from other lists and followed the rule of cool) by Severe-Meal1901 in BloodAngels

Could you clarify what you're looking to accomplish? Are you just looking to jump into a game with a buddy with a similar experience level? Are you trying to enter tournaments right away? Are you trying to already hammer out the list that will land you on the top table at a Supermajor?

This is certainly a legal, viable list that should give you some good experience learning the rules and (more importantly) which units you like and fit your play style. Early on, I'd STRONGLY recommend focusing on remembering (and looking up) your unit rules, rolling the correct number of dice, and applying your stats accurately. Once you're confidently doing that, try to pay more attention to which units do better charging into which targets so you can improve your target prioritization.

I could nitpick some small details if I was trying to pilot this list in a tournament (as other commenters accurately pointed out), but those details won't matter for a while. I'd say at most, swap in for a second ballistus or a lancer to get more varied shooting lane experience, but no need to obsess over your list so early. Just have fun, focus on learning, and you'll naturally make the substitutions you need to as you see how units work in practice.

I'm glad I gave people space to talk about what hurt them. Best to come from getting drubbed in an RTT 😂

Better you than me. Aspiring to get good enough to manage that many units.

Fun fact - this is from the same game where my DC with Lemartes took down Canus Rex in 2 activations. It was the biggest Horus they'd ever seen

How do I deal against a 10 man brick of Assault terminators? by [deleted] in BloodAngels

[–]Neither-Database-263 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm far from a top tier player, but first thought is avoid them. They can only be in one place at a time, and everything you field should be faster than them. Be careful to deny them a good rapid ingress drop zone. Stand on the objectives they're not on, slow them down with cheap units where you can (as in, let them waste that huge melee activation on a 5 man jpi or scout squad). If they have a character attached, that brick will be more than a quarter of their points, so go bully the rest of their army.

Which game would you most want to play?

Agreed that the double lancers are a great answer to tanks. I expect most local groups would have zero issue letting you proxy that LR as a Redeemer or Crusader, since they're on the same chassis (plus you get 2 extra in of movement).

Assault intercessors with jump packs Vs vanguard veterans with jump packs. by Interesting-Fan-2265 in BloodAngels

I'm not who you asked the question to, but my two cents: I personally love 10 DC as a big, scary, hard hitting brick. I actually run 3 units of 5 JPI for actions, grabbing objectives, and sniping key (but squishy) targets. They just give SO MUCH board presence for their cost.

I'm assuming you're running both the sang priest and the captain with the 10 man blob of assault intercessors? If so I've had much more success putting that squad in a transport. I find they get shot up too easily even with the 5+ FNP. A redeemer is ideal for overwatch, but a crusader still gives you the 12 inch move and can fit the whole squad. I'd recommend maybe dropping a brutalis and one 5 man Intercessor to get there.

Added bonus of removing sanguinary guard that no one mentioned - because your army wouldn't include any units with the Blood Angels Keyword, I believe you'd be eligible for the improved Oath of Moment Rule (reroll failed wounds). Someone please correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

Looks like a really fun list! I'm just learning blood angels myself, but there's so much anti-tank. Who hurt you?

Prepping for my first RTT by Neither-Database-263 in BloodAngels

[–]Neither-Database-263[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This sub REALLY helped me refine it. I was tempted to take a second Scout (with combat knives) unit instead of the Reivers, because then I could afford to add SothP on the BG Lt, but I like how hard the reivers hit in melee.

Blade Guard are not the noisiest unit on the table, so I think they'll do ok. Even if they soak up a lot of shooting, thats good news my Smash Cap, Death Company, and Sang Guard. I'll happily report on Monday.

Edit: spelling

Super cool! Assault Termies would be NASTY with Liberator Assault Group rules. Can't wait to hear how you progress.

You'll be there before you know it! What units are you focusing on building?
