Spearhead Blood Angels

[Guardian of the Rage]

Hi all,

 

In view of the imminently viable expansion and some of the interesting choices it allows, has any one come up with any cool combinations/ ideas? here is a Link

 

I was thinking about Stormravens loaded with melta HG or IP wielding vanguards using the Mechanised assault spearhead for some first turn mayhem. Maybe using the outriders spearhead to give a stormravens two Landspeeder escort, and how about the Thunderhawk using the Superheavy Spearhead?

 

Hope you've got some.

 

Kind regards,

GotR

I'm actually pretty pumped about the "Mass Attack" spearhead with assault marines. Giving them all strength seven krak grenades, preferred enemy against monsters, and the ability to auto regroup even if a falcon is hovering nearby sounds awesome.

 

Also the outrider spearhead with a couple rhinos to soak up the hits for a land raider would be awesome. Expect to see that little cheestnut from other marine players as well.

I like those ideas, though I think that the Stormravens should use the Skyfall Spearhead.

 

We're Blood angels, for the Emperor's sake1

 

We even have a captain that is the Lord of Skyfall!

 

Also, the Infantry Horde thing, using Assault marines, would be viable. The Archeotech one would be great for us, too, considering the possibilities. I saw on another forum a really cool transport pictured in an old SM dex, possibly one from Rogue trader, and it had what was called a Stormbird Transport, which was a giant floating ship that spewed out Assault Marines.

 

the Eigth Company also has training with Bikes, so the Outrider spearhead is viable. Armoured ones could include any form of Baal and regular preds.

 

Hope you enjoy!

I like Tank Hunter Spearhead with 3 Predators (autocannon, lascannon sponsons). You can move them 6 and pop off 6 Str 10 6 Str 8 shots against vehicles or move them 12" and pop off 6 Str 10 shots.. it works really well with our fast predators and the general spearhead rule

 

For 480 points (dozer blades on the Preds) you have probably the best set of fire support predators I can think of!

Here's a stupid one. How about 3 rhinos using the Crusher Spearhead! Kamikaze rhinos, fast vehicles ramming with armour 15!

Ha that would be a fun one to try, especially if loaded up with some death company. I can just see them running their tanks into enenmy vehicles then jumping out and ripping things to shreds, I think I might actualy have to try this for the sheer fun factor :-)

Plus they can shoot at different targets. Awesome spearhead!

I'm pretty excited about using the Tank Hunting Baal Preds, my squad of 3 (w/o sponsons) puts out 12 S7 rending shots; likely on the side armor of what ever I'm shooting at.

 

(Honestly, I'm more exited about my Eldar. I'm totally taking my 8 Wraithlords and making a unit of out of them)
