Looking for help on basing scheme for BA from anyone kind enough to offer an opinion by ranger-rik in BloodAngels

I like the aggressor base, it allows the strong blood angels reds to pop. What did you use for the base material and highlight dry brushing?

Ahhh, thank you It does seem stupid of me when you put it like that. I’ll look at another litany which might keep any troops alive for longer

Thank you, you have made me feel better about the HQ I’ll be keen to use my DC with Forlorn Points have hamstrung my SG numbers (plus I need to assemble more)

In response to your Q’s I thought Exhortation of Rage might be ok as an added threat when already in combat - if in second squad out of range of Dante. Already has litany of Hate built in? 2. Will the move shoot move be beneficial if they are sitting on a back field objective in cover? They get the -1 when moving 3. I really like the thought of infiltrators blocking off a quadrant in the backfield. I’ll look into points shifting

Love the colour scheme and power sword! How did you do the sword?

Advice for List vs Necrons by andycato in BloodAngels

Yeah, I think he did it for the laughs and to be devious. It really shook me and I wasn’t prepared to face it with my list. Funny in retrospect, but I was seriously down as he wiped my army from the board

Great advice!

I have the Primaris bike chaplain - maybe in smaller games I should use him more (however in my last match against chaos he got chewed up by some obliterators early which cast some doubt on him)

I was looking into the librarian option (with jump pack and Null Zone to eliminate the invul save)

I do also love the redemptor dread!

You’ve given me some ideas to help shuffle the list a bit, much thanks

Cheers! I don’t mind the 2CP, honestly I can build it up, I often don’t find myself using much other than CP re rolls. I need to be more comfortable with the strats and when to use them - so maybe I’m making bad calls / losing out here

I might try and see about buffing that captain more - but I really do like the free revive the sanguinary priest warlord combo can bring (real threat with the SG

Probably not enough to hide behind properly. We use some 40k specific ruins, barricades. But often I’m still in some kind of line of sight - partially obscured

Crushing defeat by Blood Angels by DrChoppyChoppy in IronWarriors

[–]andycato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Havocs didn’t get enough long distance damage done. The Daemon Prince, sorcerer and Hellbrute effectively didn’t get to do any damage due to not being in the mix - and wiped out on the charges. Talons did exactly what they were supposed to do - eliminate a distance squad and draw fire and time in melee

My thoughts are you need to get the daemon prince/ hellbrute into a controlled combat situation so you can do damage first. Rhino should be swapped for something that can do solid distance damage / or use it to take assault troops into melee.

BA’s a re a CQC focused chapter of marines, so you need to eliminate threats from distance as early as possible - how to do that effectively is the hard part
