DrummingBerserker21 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hello fellow Blood Angels/Sons of Sanguinius, I've heard about there being new formations for Blood Angels in the most recent White Dwarf, and I was wondering if it was legal if someone would mind A) describing what makes up the formation, and :huh: what the benefits are. I'm thinking about buying the White Dwarf but would have to make a special trip in order to do so and want to make sure it would be worth my while. Thanks, and I apologize if this request is in some way or form illegal.

Leksington Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 They have a neat little story where a BA attack used all of these formations. Roughly: -Dante's Sanguine Host: Dante, HG, 2-4 SG squads. They all basically use Dante's Tactical Precision (no scatter) deep striking, and they basically gain Heroic Intervention (assault on the turn they DS). They all have to land withing 6 inches of dante. -Death Company Astorath, atleast 1 chaplain, 3+ DC squads, and 2+ DC dreds. You can include DC tycho if you want. They all need to deploy near Astorath. All of their close combat attacks essentially work like they were using blood talons (they get an extra attack for each unsaved wound). -Firestorm Strike Force 1 land Raider, 3+ Baal Predators. They can combine to shoot at 1 target unit using the hellstorm template. After the attack resolves, you mark off the the two ends of the template. Anyone crossing that line takes 2D6 strength 6 hits (AP4). -Archangel 3 SR, 3 Fusurio, 3 termie squads. Once per game, if you haven't used any blood strike missiles yet, you can make an out of sequence shooting attack. 24 inch range using the 7 inch template. Str 8. If a super heavy or gargantuan is under the center it takes D6 hits.

VAGABOND Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I used the Dante's Sanguine Host in a Apocalypse game last week, nasty nasty nasty :( Managed to kick the big ass Greater Daemon of Khorne to death.... in a single round of combat.4 Funniest thing about it is he only managed to kill 2 Sanguinary Guard before he got 12 Power Fist attacks to his shins :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221854-blood-angel-apocalypse-formations/#findComment-2651962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Lem Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 To his shins ? Pfft. They can fly. Equipped with lithe wings, terrifying a sight in their display of cold beauty, your battle brothers ripped out his mortal heart and banished its essence back to the realm of demons. There was no spot of his mortal form left unscathed, for their rage was that of Sanguinus' fury itself. And their movements a golden halo surrounding the vile creature, speaking of the demise to befall it. Nice job ^_^ Seriously though, Dante's formation is rather handsome. Takes all the gamble there is to Heroic Intervention out of the game.

VAGABOND Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just thought shins sounded funnier, I'm easily amused that way. :) Yeah the Dante formation is rather awesome mainly due to being able to chanrge the turn they come down. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221854-blood-angel-apocalypse-formations/#findComment-2653404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
