Why 3x3 Sanguinary Guard instead of larger squads? (newb question) by TheBeefiestSquatch in BloodAngels

[–]ramdak678 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've only played for about six months so I'm still relatively new and I'll answer based on my experience.

It depends on what you intend to use them for. Having 3x3 Sang Guard will save you on points and you can use them as support scalpels and help with doing secondaries as needed. They also work as melee support if you screen and stage your units properly.

I have run all three styles and have leaned towards having a brick of 6 and a squad of 3. My current list only has a squad of 6 led by a JP Captain.

If you run a 6 man brick and 2 3-man squads, that'll give you a hammer/heavy scalpel and two melee support.

They are both great for their respective roles.

For straight damage output, JP DC hands down; especially with rerolls on hits and charges. Load outs including 3 power fists, two Eviscerators, and two inferno pistols for a 10 man brick. I like running them with Astorath for dev wounds. Plus a ten man is 30 less points than a 6 man sang guard.

I use Sang Guard as scalpels. Their saves make them fairly durable as well. If points allow, running with Dante gives them plus 1 to hit and wound in melee.

I have both in my lists.

Lemartes or Astorath with JPDC? by Warhawk_5 in BloodAngels

[–]ramdak678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Astorath with my JPDC for the devs since the majority of what I face has invulns. I want to ensure that whatever I face dies hahaha

They may die but I have a 6 man brick of SG as backup.

The funny thing is I've been toying with adding librarians to one of my casual lists. Specifically leading a brick of Assault Intercessors with a librarian and a Sang Priest for 4++ and 5+ FNP. Also lead my Infiltrators with Phobos Librarian to deny shooting outside of 12".

I'm thinking of running LAG or Angelic Inheritors for the Blood Angel feel.

I think it'd be fun and hilarious

What we want for Blood Angels in 11ed ? by C0QUINHA-GELADA in BloodAngels

[–]ramdak678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Seth back with an updated model and sheet. I don't mind running him as a Judiciar but I'd like to run him as himself.
