ohara Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hey Everyone I used to play BA when I was a teenager and came back to them in January of this year I have a 1.5k point army at the moment which has been doing well so far. I am looking to move up to 2k in preparation for a tourney with what my mates they play space pups, orks and tyranids. I fancy making a storm raven but what to put in it? I have 500pts in total 200 of which will be used to pay for the raven so I have 300pts left to spend on a squad to put in it. My current list is: HQ Mephiston - 250 Librarian (blood lance, shield of Sanguinius) – 100 Elite Chaplin - 100pts Sang priest – 50 Troops 5man Death Company all with pws and rhino - 225 10 man tac squad in rhino, missile launcher, flamer, pw, mb - 240 Scout squad sniper rifles with missile launcher - 85 5 man RAS melta, pw, combat shield, mb, razorback with HB - 155 5 man RAS melta, pf, razorback with HB – 155 Fast Attack Baal Pred with hb sponsons - 140 I would like to add to it either: Sang guard with plasma pistol, pf along with a sang priest with jump pack and PW OR Assault Temies with 3 TH/SS along with a sang priest in termie armour. What do you think would be the best option? Any constructive comments on my current list would be appreciated to.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I just love the SG... and since you already have a Librarian with Shield of Sang... give him a JP and have him join the unit. With that 5+ cover save they are essentially really fast terminators.

ohara Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 That’s a good idea I would need to drop some points from somewhere for JP but could be a good idea could I give him wings psychic power instead of buying a jp? I could cast shield in front of the storm raven. The only reason I was edging towards the terminators was for the invulnerable save in combat.

Redo Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would probably go the Termies in with TH/LC's. Put them in the Storm Raven with the Librarian, give him Termie armour too. Therefore when you cast shield hit has a massive shadow effect, giving a cover save to units following close behind. Also I think a psuchic power such as unleash rage works better with termie than a Sang.Priest and FC. The way I see it is that the termies are most likely taking the tough opponents and therefore you need those THs to hit more than you need a S9 TH. Besides they are always stiking a I1. Let the priest buff regualr units. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212787-termies-or-sang-guard/#findComment-2531766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The SG would benefit greatly from the Raven. Run 5 SG with Chapter Banner with a Sanguinary Priest with JO and PW alongside the Librarian with Unleash Rage and Sanguine Sword and you will kill anything you touch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212787-termies-or-sang-guard/#findComment-2531791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crynn Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hey mate, if your set on getting a stormraven in your list I wouldn't bother with the sang guard. They don't benefit from the raven that much as there jump packs become wasted in some respect also sang guard in general are not really that much of a points effective unit. I would take the terminators and change your librarians power from lance to rage allowing you termies to reroll hits as well couple that with a priest with a pw and your going well. Youcan giv the priest temrie armor but do not give it to the librarian. It is a waste of points and also you will not be able to run down your opponent from combat if you have only terminator armed models, the lib also has the highest intiative for doing this. My actually sugestian is slightly different to both of those options. I would putthe dc in the raven drop their rhino give the lib rage and a jump pack and then take an honor guard which you can use the sang guard models for. It comes with a priest as well and that priest can have a jp for 10 points instead of 25 for ic versions and cannot be targeted out in combat. Give them some lightning claws some melts and a few storm shields and they will perform better than the sang guard and can anti tank better as well. In your honor guard with the points you have from not taking the dc rhino you could get the libs jp then the honor guard with 3 claws 3 meltas twostorm shield a banner and still have 20 points left which I would spend on adding 5 points to your baal because you have under coated it by 5 points then withthe other 15 upgrade some power weapons to fists in your assault squad and loose the melta bombs on them. You could change two sargants withthat fist no melta set up. Sry for any/all the spelling errors in this I al typing it all on my I phone. Hope that helps regards, Crynn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212787-termies-or-sang-guard/#findComment-2531824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohara Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks for the feedback/ideas guys Crynn - I think you have a plan however instead of JPS i could use the rhino the dc have to transport the HG. I would have enough points for a selection of PW/LC/SS. and I could upgrade my pw/ cs sarge to a pf and use the sarge model as a blood champ. As I have a melta in each of the RAS would it be worth taking a different special weapon for the HG say a plasma? Or even just take all LC? Also good spot on the Baal I will drop meltas bombs for the RAS to cover that!
