We are not overpowered!

@ Nightrunner,

 

I think your post is fair, for the most part, but only if you don't look at the Blood Angels Codex as a possibility for use by Codex Space Marine players, which it is. Either way, there are some exceptions. Our captains are not nearly as good, there are some choices that aren't in the BA codex that are in C:SM, C:SM has just as many options for scoring troops as the BA codex and possibilities for them not available (sternguard and bikes), and the special character selection allows for a lot more customization. Again, though, if you look at the BA Codex as an expansion/alternative of the C:SM for fast and assaulting armies, rather than a competing army list, I don't think you'd feel the same way. I did wonder, if when it came out, that the BA Codex wouldn't essentially replace C:SM. For some builds and playstyles, for sure. But, for others, I don't think so. I actually think some people who were leaning that way have gone back, at least that I've heard of.

This thread is hilarious. Almost as comedic as a fast attack 18" scouting tank.

Thanks guys.

I took his SW army and he took my BA.

He super-united out, with 2 San gaurd, dante, astorath+20 death company 2 Baals and a vindi. Oh and Mephiston.

And I powned him to a post!

 

So we are now equal.

 

Thanks a load!

Nicely done. Just goes to prove that super-uniting doesn't always work, because weight of firepower/attacks will bring them down easy enough (unless its Lysander, who just refuses to die to ANYTHING). Also, what was he doing with 3 HQ choices, unless you've mixed up Astorath with Lemartes he's even used more HQ choices than is allowed.

Haha that is hilarious. It's also funny that this kid refused to play you and he was using SW hah...

Please refer him to Space Wolves which are atleast one level above us in the power band.

My friend is now refusing to play me because he claims that BA 'are over-powered'. :confused:!

 

Please persuade him (in this topic) that they are sooooooooo not!

Hes being a pansy. Seriously, Im not even joking- hes being a pansy.

 

At 18pts a marine for assault troops, random fearless and no combat tactics for your shooty elements....

 

Not to mention, Ive seen the lists people throw up and the lists the locals throw down- Ive yet to see a BA army that wasnt out numbered by anyone but pure terminator armies and grey knights.

 

Hit them hard with plasma, missile launchers, and keep your anti-tank guns prepped just in case. They go down almost as easily as C:SM, and frankly theyre counterable with Eldar, Space Wolves, and Sisters- and Ive yet to hear to much in the way of complaints from my locals nidz, IG, or Tau after the first month of OMGZZORRZZZZ!1111ONE!!!!
