2,000pt. Blood Angel Sanguinary Guard v. Raven Guard SM

[marine77]

I have lately been intrigued by the thought of playing a Blood Angel Sanguinary Guard list, so have been working on putting together an army that is almost exclusively jump packers. The sole exception is Mephiston. I just included him because I have heard he is a beast and I want to see how he performs. So, I have undertaken the task of playtesting the army. So far, I have played two games. Game 1 was a travesty. It was terrible. I blame some really bad dice rolling, but my tactics are still fresh and amateurish with this army.

 

Game 2 was significantly better. I actually remembered to take some screenshots of the game too. You can read the full report on my blog: Gone to Ground.

 

Has anyone else had experience with a Sanguinary Wing? How do you like it? It certainly is a shallow army, but it is loads of fun to play. Thanks for reading!

Mephiston has no Invulnerable thats the major problem i think with him also Sanguinary Guard armies are really small and they can deal the punishment but they cannot take too much of a battering.

You are very right. If I begin to lose models in protracted combats, things become very rough. I think a second incarnation of my current list will revolve around dropping mephiston for a regular librarian and some more power weapons/goodies to make sure that I can handle units quickly.
