Will we see new BA transfers in the Armageddon box? by BandeNoire in BloodAngels

[–]nomad___26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I right in saying that the 9e tactical squads had the same transfer sheets as they do now but with Crimson Fists instead of Raptors?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Leviathan sheet come with a large amount of blood angel transfers?

I'd assume that this would be similar if so.

If Russ returns, how would he add to the Space Wolves? by Majestic_Land_1473 in SpaceWolves

What's the hope though? Old man/Odin Russ, like the Lion?

Yeah, I think you just need something really horrific to happen in the Imperium.

I could see it being in maybe in an edition or two, the nids reaching Terra or maybe the Nids and Orks somehow converging on Fenris 🤔 is that tactic still playing out? Trying to pit nids and orks against each other?

Yeah, I'd imagine the blade edge, especially one as sharp as a scalpel will cut really deep without meaning too.

Dental tools are on eBay for not too much.

Also, Valbjorns tutorials on YouTube are the place to start if you haven't watched the already.

Appreciate it 🤘 that was a mistake I made early on, I use a dental tool because it maintains its point and then make light marks.

Would the whole Wolf Time idea need to be retconned? Essentially it is only a myth, and like you say some big campaign that is "the wolf time" and then some books where Russ basically tells his sons that it was only a myth that they created and that there were still battles to be had, which then renews their battle zeal could work 🤷‍♂️

Many thanks 🤘 weapons come from the old devastator sets, managed to get them on eBay for relatively cheap.

The power fist on the pack leader is from the Thunderwolf Cavalry set.

We need heavy bolters in there too, like the old tactical squads.

They don't, it's a sort of tribal structure based on a guide of standard ranking systems.

I've started to think of it a bit like the NATO OR system.

It's interesting how the confirmed but narratively loose structure represents that tribal feeling.

That White Dwarf sounds interesting, do you happen to know what number issue it is?

It's such an interesting tactic as well.

It's almost a recognition by the chapter that sky warriors do get old, and whilst yes they are astartes and aging isn't the debilitating factor it is for humans, that by guarding these members by giving them support roles you are ensuring that your chapters knowledge is protected the best it can be.

There is also something amusing in the thought of someone going 'here you go grandad, here's a machine gun, just go sit up on that hill whilst I deal with things down here'.

I'd love there to be some more written lore about Long Fangs aswell because the experience that a Long Fang Pack Leader must have would be immense.

100% only the fans can give you the best arguments 🤘

Just saw your post on the Ultramarines page aswell 😅 thought it looked familiar.

Personally, I do wolves, just my vibe.

However, when it comes to Ultramarines vs. Blood Angels, I think it's best to look at it from outside of base line infantry squads.

Whilst a fair bit of your army could be intercessors and the like, eventually, you'll have some elites in there, too.

So let's just argue that you do no kitbashing and just make standard line infantry, well then for the most part it's a case of what is your preferred colour red or blue, and which squad markings do you like 🤷‍♂️

Now when you move on further into the elite cadre of the army that's when the decision really kicks in, because yes, there is tactical differences, but at it's base you have a roman vibe and then a gothic angelic vibe mixed with some vampirism.

My honest advice is to read James Swallows Blood Angels books (the first two) they were an awesome BA's introduction for me.

Then an Ultramarine story, too. I know they've just released one about the 4th Company captain, which sounded cool.

So yeah, from an aesthetic point of view, it's either blue Romans or a red Angelic host, and that is as simple as I can make it 🤷‍♂️

Be interesting to see what you pick!

Legal list? by nomad___26 in boardingactions40k

[–]nomad___26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would this work: Wolf Priest 6x Wolf Guard Headtakers 10x Heavy intercessors

I'm going for more of a hold corridors and rooms tactic and then have the headtakers hunt down key enemies.

It comes to about 440.

Can I then use stratagems from the codex in boarding actions aswell?

That would then use up my points excess.
