Brother Chris Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Just suppose a new Blood Angels Codex was supported by a Battleforce box, like the Space Wolves, what would be in it? 10 Assault marines? 5 tacs, 5 DC and an overcharged rhino?

JamesI Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Furioso, Rhino, 10 Tacs, 5 DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isryion Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I could see them forgoing the tacticals in favor of assualt, but I think it will really depend on what new plastic kits they come out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Furioso, Rhino, 10 Tacs, 5 DC. Probably not conducive to multiple set buys though, no? ><; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Furioso, Rhino, 10 Tacs, 5 DC. Probably not conducive to multiple set buys though, no? ><; yeah, I guess you're right. Well, replace the Furioso with RAS or VAS then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad III Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If I had to make a guess, in comparing to the SW battleforce and assuming DC are still an integrated part, I'd say: 10 RAS 5 RAS Rhino 5 VAS 5 DC Maybe change the Combat Squad from RAS to Tact, but I would buy either multiple times for sure.

Grey Mage Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Id say: 10 Assault Marines, 10 Tac Marines, Combat squad, and a Landspeeder. Real Value: 141.50, US. C:SM battleforce: 10 Tac Marines, Combat Squad, Scouts, Rhino, 5 Assault Marines: 136.25, for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think 10-man TAC, 5-man RAS, 5-man DC, Rhino and HG (with Priest). HG and DC will actually personalize the set for BA players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphestus Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Any news on what plastic kits we'd be getting? I am hoping for a new furioso and a super sweet kit to match the space wolves release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Mortifer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 My guess would be 10 RAS, Rhino, 5 Scouts (not initiates), 5 Tac and/or 5 DC... I think they would leave the specials like HG and Exhaulted to the specific boxed sets. Furiosos and Baals would be covered by the assumed re-cut kits with Battle Missions. I'm sure I'm totally wrong but either way I'd want a Battleforce box :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo1701 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I find it difficult to see how they will fit so much into a £20 BA set to be honest. 10 models (apparantly) with terminator/OCE parts and JPs? Something has to give and I suspect it will be numbers. (5 and not 10) As for the BF, let's look at seperate costs for the other BFs: SMBF = £76 SWBF = £70 So, assuming they won't put in a specific elite unit (as that defeats the object of the army builder BFs, a trend we've seen in the new nid BF with troops only) such as a dreadnought, I'd expect to see a BA box, assault squad, tactical squad and rhino. If the £20 price is about right that would be £74 worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTMW Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Overcharged Rhino- $30.00 10x RAS- $53 Blood Angels Scouts- (assuming they're $25) 5 Death Company- $25.00 Blood Angels Box- $35.00 Total Value- $168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I doubt they would include so many specialist units in an army box. Seriously, VAS, RAS, DC and Rhino with troops too ? No, I doubt it would be so much. Rhino or Dreadnought perhaps, Command or HG unit and troop unit, maybe a 5 man RAS, but not DC to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeef Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Using the wolf BF (10 Grey Hunters, 10 Blood Claws, 5 Wolf Scouts and a Drop Pod) as my guide I am going with 10 RAS and 10 Tacs and an OCE Rhino (now this kit doesn't exist in the rumors but I am hoping, and it would be just a Rhino with some BA bits that could easily be in any upgrade sprue). I think they will leave it there as the 10 jump packs (retail cost of 2 Assault squads) is 1.5 x a tac and the OCE Rhino upgrade – and that might include the razorback assault cannon variation along with whatever makes the Rhino look OCE and so that would make a decent value. $26.50 (AS) + 26.50 (AS) + 35.00 (Tac) + 35.00 (Rhino/OCE/Razorback) upgrade sprues = $123.00 Retail (the Wolves is 35, 35, 30, 20 for $120 and sells as a BF for $90.00). If I was starting from scratch this would be an awesome kit and a good value. I already have 30 Tacs, 10 RAS on foot and 10 RAS with JPs and three Rhino's but I would buy this battleforce and two more Rhinos. I don't think they will use any of the metal figs and I do not think they would give away the Death Company or Honor Guard either. Wouldn't be business-smart. And we all are going to buy three new Dreads (so we can kit them out in the new BA goodness) so they wont throw in a Dread. If you don't have a Baal Pred you will buy that as a stand alone too so a battleforce that lets the old BAers spend cash on RAS, Tacs and Rhinos that we don't really need makes sense. I do not think they will but...if they do chose to add five more figs I would expect something generic that already exists like scouts. If our set up is like the wolves the upgrade bits sprue that makes us BA will have some "use-as" scout heads and a couple of close combat arms/weapons to make the results of using the old scout sprue BA-unique. Remember we have a couple of years of no BA players buying or making Scouts (except for you and you) so for the most part it is like a "new" thing for the BA.

lunchb0x Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 What about Scouts tossed into the mix like the current one? I could see the current one just with all BA components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistinthunder Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 20 assault marines 5 scouts 1 taratula lander???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad III Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 With the new rumours about the kits: 10 AS 10 HG 5 Scouts Likely a Rhino, Unless the Lander is priced about the same as a Drop Pod. Then a Lander. (SW got 10 GH, 10 BC, 5 Scouts, DP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
