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.

Welcome to part four of the Blood Angels Unit of the Week Series! Following the release of the 9th edition Supplement, there is no better time to discuss all the units we have access to. Each week a different unit will appear, with the idea being that we discuss how best to use that model on the battlefield. Where part one will focus on the unique BA units and part two will focus on BA units that are new to this edition of the Codex, part three will discuss how to get the best use the generic units from the past that are still with us (and that many of us have in our armies still), and part four will discuss the Legends units that we still own and love. Forge World and Forge World Legends comprise parts five and six. Note, this isn't to lament any nerfs, etc, from previous editions; the rules are as they are so try to unlock its potential for those who wish to use them all the same. Similarly, this thread is only for using the option being discussed; it matters not if you feel something is a better choice as such comments aren't constructive to the topic and shall be removed. Without further ado, here's this week's entry: Captain on Bike Captain on Bike (kitbash), Karhedron What are your thoughts here folks? How best would you use the Captain on Bike datasheet? To compliment a list, or to build a list around? Will the current Warzone and balance dataslate affect your list(s)? What units (if any) will you be babysitting? What weapons and equipment are you taking and does the above affect how you run them? How are you using Rites of Battle and Turbo Boost effectively? Are you buffing this unit? If so, how? Suitable for Warlord duties or Chapter Command? Stratagems of note? Over to you. Please note that Captain, Captain in Cataphractii Armour, Captain in Gravis Armour, Captain in Phobos Armour, and Captain in Terminator Armour should be discussed elsewhere.
