Hey guys, since I've had to close a topic (or two) regarding this very reasonable question and since searchy doesn't always bare overwhelmingly helpful advice, im hereby making this topic a sticky. Why do you play Blood Angels? By now, we all know the legendary Solar's thoughts on the matter -> -Soular; 01/25/2005 expurgated But what are yours?

This ongoing series of articles focuses on what a Blood Angels Force Commander has at their disposal, with advice, information, and tactics plucked from the readily available to the more obscure parts of GWs rulesets. Like all Veritas Vitae articles, these remain active and are in flux, so we can add and update them as the information contained within changes. So please chip in with any and all suggestions to help your fellow Frater to vicory against the daemon, the heretic, the xenos, and the traitor. Sourcebooks A Blood Angels force has a plethora of sourcebooks associated with it, each of which contains a wealth of knowledge be it fluff through to rules. This guide explores what they are and what is contained within each. Article Setup The following are notes on the setup of article below:Header in Administratum Grey, sourcebook is specific to the core game Header in Enchanted Blue, sourcebook is Space Marines specific Header in Blood Red, sourcebook is Blood Angels specific Where the sourcebook is in production, a link to it (UK based) can be found by clicking the associated cover art Links The Sourcebooks a Blood Angels force can use are split into three different categories, the links to which can be found below: Core sourcebooks Space Marines sourcebooks Blood Angels sourcebooks

I´m having an ineffective day at work, so I took a long lunch and want to share som crazy thoughts about BA future and game balance. Many BA players feel we are left out in the cold, being a chapter that has many our our unique units specialized for melee. Overall this edition is deadly. Models die and reaching close combat might seem hard. So I have it some thought and came up with these crazy ideas. Primaris Deat Company?! The primaris marines still suffer from both the red thirst and the flaw? So primaris death company would be a logical step? Think about DC with 2 W, one more attack (based off current primaris stats compared to ASM/TM). Depending on the cost this could be efficient. Their "FnP" would help a little more for 2W models. And for reaching combat I we could get some sort of stratagem that lets JPA units roll and extra d6 on the charge move when charging after "deep strike". "Cometh the host" 2CP Chose one unit that set up by JPA this movement phase. This unit and all units within 6" that set up with JPA may roll an extra d6 when charging this turn. This would increase the chances of reaching combat with a few units, but it would not invalidate tactics regarding DS, such as screening or using scouts ect to control where units may be placed. Feel free to share some mad ramblings with me. And keep up the good spirits and sportsmanship. We don´t want any whining here ;-P

New edition, new Codex, new thread! In the new Codex our Captains got what we wanted them to have: they became cheaper, they gained access to cool stratagems and warlord traits and, they gained access to Relics of Baal. This versatility coupled with their inherent durability has made them a move viable choice and one we're likely to see/use on the field of battle. The following thread is to be a database for all the types of build we can make for our Captains. I will keep this thread updated with each legal suggestion (and a tip of the hat to he who suggested it) so we have an easy reference. To submit a build, please do the following: ~ Give your build a name ~ Give it a list of wargear (if not found in C:BA, then please state what supplement) ~ Give it a total point cost (please remember that individual points for options are not permitted on B&C) ~ Give a small summary why it's good/cool/fluffy I'll start the ball rolling with two favourites from the past: *** *** *** *** *** Hammertime ~ Artisan of War ~ Two Thunderhammers ~ 116 Classic ~ Artisan of War ~ Lightning Claw, Power Fist ~ 92 ~ (add transport of choice) Watchdog ~ Aothaine ~ Artisan of War (Boltgun) & Death Visions of Sanguinius ~ Master Crafted Boltgun, Power Sword, Jump Pack ~ Will edit and add this when I get home Frank the Tank ~ Aothaine ~ Gift of Foresight & Death Visions of Sanguinius or Artisan of War(Power Sword) ~ Power Sword, Storm Shield, Jump Pack ~ Will add points later Crusader ~ olcottr ~ Power Sword, Storm Shield ~ 93 Riot-Control ~ olcottr ~ Master-crafted Boltgun, Storm Shield ~ 92 Captain Smashypants ~ 9x19 Parabellum ~ Thunderhammer ~ Chainsword/storm shield ~ Artisan of War ~ Angel's Wing ~ 114/129 The VERY Angry Marine ~ sfPanzer ~ 2 x Powerfist ~ Angel's Wing ~ Death Visions of Sanguinius ~ Legendary Fighter (BRB one that gives +1 Attack) MC Hammer of Baal ~ Brother Aether ~ Hammer of Baal ~ Stormshield ~ Jump Pack ~ Gift of Foresight ~ 129 Eddie the Trooper ~ Crimson Ghost IX ~ 2 x Lightning Claw ~ Jump Pack ~ 107 The Ripper ~ Lord_Ikka ~ Cataphractii Armor ~ 2 x Lightning Claws ~ Gift of Foresight (Trait) ~ Death Visions of Sanguinius (Stratagem) ~ 138 Captain Shooty McKillya ~ Adorondak ~ Artisan of War + combi-plasma ~ Season to taste (though I'm leaning toward JP and Hammer of Baal) Captain Hammerica ~ unerde ~ Death Visions of Sanguinius ~ Angel's Wing ~ Thunderhammer ~ Hand-Flamer ~ Artisan of War Warlord Trait PlasmaTola Khomeini ~ brother_b ~ Combi Plasma ~ Power sword ~ Artisan of War

Simple thread folks, just post below how well you did with the Index using the following format: P:x W:x D:x L:xNow, obviously this isn't for bragging rights. We can use it to assist our fellow Frater be it sharing tips or improving their game(s) going forward! For example, if you've won loads, what has worked for you and why? If you've lost a pile of games, where do you feel you have gone wrong? What were you up against? And so on. There's always something we've missed and somewhere we can improve, so get sharing ideas as we enter a new era!

A little something I've had in my mind for a while now... Me must have the most successor's of any chapter in this awesome sub forum, so I think we should keep a small record and celebrate that. I'm not asking for a full Index Astartes style write up, just a name, colour scheme & symbol is enough. A typical model is also encouraged Feel free to add anymore basic info like homeworld and such. If you have an existing IA article, feel free to post a link to it for sure What I'll do is as we get more added, i'll photoshop a suitably epic black and white image to include a brother of all of our chapters doing what they do best - purging some poor mutant/ xenos/ heretic or maybe mustered for a campaign. - The Bloody Slate - The Sanguine Vision Blood Owls Sanguinary Crusaders Sanguine Gargoyles Crimson Sons of Vengeance Emperor's Harbingers Angels Cerulean Blood Revenants Storm Bloods The Reborn Blood Suns Grey Wardens Scarlet Sons Silver Sons The Angels Sorrowful The Redeemers +=============================][=============================+ The Sanguine Vision "We are Sanguinius.
