Dahak Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey Brothers, I am recently new to Blood Angels and I am having lots of trouble playing with the army. Any suggestions on how to run my army or suggestions of what to add to my army would be great. I am really having trouble with Eldar and just playing BA to their strengths, I am a converted necron player (ha-ha) so advice needed and appreciated. Here is what I have for my Army so far: Mephiston Generic Captain (AoBR) 5 AoBR terminators (chainfists, SB) 6 Assault terminators with lighting claws 10 DC 10 tactical squad (AoBR, flamer, missile launcher) 10 Assault squad Lemartes 5 scout squad (snipers) Baal Pred LR Crusader/Redeemer AoBR Dread (two CCW) Generic Dread (with all weapons available) Vindicator Drop Pod Thanks for reading!

mysteriousmaskedmystery Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 if you have the money to expand your army, buy a few more assault troops and maybe a few rhinos/razorbacks.

TrentL Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Okay to start with you need better HQ choices... our Captains suck... but Mephiston rules... but I try not to use him overly much. I think one of our best HQ's other than our named one's is the Librarian. So I'd run something like: HQ: Librarian w/ Terminator Armor (goes in LR) - Unleashed Rage, Shield of Sanguinius Elite Assault Terminators(5) - Lighting Claws (Honestly I'd try to get a SS/TH guys to take those AP1,AP2 shots, and to take out vechiles etc) -Deadicated Transport - LR - Redeemer w/ xtra armour Furioso Dreadnought -H. Flamer, xtra armour -drop pod Sanguinary Priest x 2 - Jump Packs Troops: - 10man Assault Marines - Sgt - Power Fist - Melta, Flamer Troops: - 10man Assault Marines - Sgt - Power Fist - Melta, Flamer Fast Attack: Baal -xtra armor Heavy: Vindicator -Siege Shield -xtra armor You can use your 10DC has the othe Assault Squad for now, you just need to get 2 Sanguinary Priests... honestly if you don't have Sanguinary Priests your going to loose out on alot of what BA is all about. That above is 1675 out of 1750 that I was building, leaves you room to upgrade things (Maybe make the Libby a Epistolary change his powers to Unleashed Rage and Might of Heroes (Or Sanguinary Sword)) Or trick out the Sanguinary Priests (But they are IC's which means they can die quickly so you have to be careful) You lack long range firepower for first turn, I'd run the AV 13/14 as a wall with your Assault troops behind it, depending on what your fighting you should be decent I haven't much experience with Valk's with Veterans shooting tonnes of melta etc out of it.

Dahak Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks for the advice, I was thinking of getting the SP because of their powers. I was also thinking of getting another LR so I can have DC or Termies in a tank and protect them. What do you think of max out DC with 30 guys and a chap/lib??

mysteriousmaskedmystery Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 waste of money and points. DC are ok in my opinion, not nearly as bad as some people make them out to be, but they aren't that good.

TrentL Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I wouldn't max out DC, way too costly I think they are best in small groups of 5 JP with Lemartes, or no JP in a rhino with a Chaplain. I would get a box of DC / Sanguinary Guard / Assault Squad and make some honor guard the hidden Sanguinary Guard are pretty awesome.
