calgaryBA Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I ran the following list today that I found on some other forums just to try it out. I've never used the Sanguinor before, so that was also new. I ended up facing some shooty Tyranids with a hammer unit of a Swarmlord with 2 body guards(they had whips that made my I =1) and some other IC HQ attached as well. Things looked incredibly bleak by turn 3, and i was pretty damn sure that I was going to lose, so i started joking about my marines kicking it into high gear and acting like "movie marines". All i had left was Meph, Sanguinor with 1 wound who was still in combat with the swarmlord, my terminator TH/SS seargeant, a priest, the chaplain, 6 assault marines, and 2 sergeants, that it's, just 13 models. The only thing I managed to kill at this point was one of those monstrosities that :D out gaunts, and some gaunts. In the next 2 and a half turns these few SOB's actually pulled out the biggest come-back I've seen with my own eyes. I honestly have absolutely no idea how many saves I made, it's mind boggling to even think about. Every single psychic power from Meph went off, except for 1 force weapon attempt, even rolling with 3 dice. Almost everything hit and wounded. And in the end I was close to tabling him before the handshake came across the table from my distraught and shocked opponent who couldn't believe what just happened. The few heroes who made this a victory are definitely getting some trophies on their bases. HQ Sanguinor - 275 Mephiston – 250 ELITE Chaplain – 100 Sanguinary Priest - 50 Sanguinary Priest - 50 Terminators – 215 -3x TH/SS, 2x LC TROOPS Assault Squad - 222 -1x melta gun, Power fist x1, 9 marines -rhino Assault Squad - 250 -2x melta gun, power fist -rhino Assault Squad – 235 -2x melta gun, power fist HEAVY Storm Raven – 200 -TL AC, TL MM TOTAL - 1847 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227070-what-champions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Sweet comeback! When times are bleakest our boys in red shine through. I personally recall being outnumbered 100 models to 35 against Dark Eldar, meaning he had everything on the table and I was coming in from Reserves piecemeal. He had like 10 boats and 6 jetbikes swarming my 2x10 Tacticals in Rhinos and a solitary DC dread that dropped in behind him. Suffice it to say he popped both Rhinos and the Dread in Turn 1 and encircled my Tacticals for the slaughter on Turns 2&3 before I finally got Astorath, Lemartes and 5 JPDC on Turn 3, my 2 LRs and 2 Baals finally came in on Turn 4 and mopped everything up. I did learn one very important thing about my force - never reserve them again. Baals to the walls from now on. Sorry that turned into a 'me' story. Bottom line is: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE BLOOD ANGELS.

1Drop Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Right so 3 priests come as 1 place on the FO chart? Wow, I did not realise this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227070-what-champions/#findComment-2720377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Right so 3 priests come as 1 place on the FO chart? Wow, I did not realise this :) Which also means you could have as many as 9 Sanguinary Priests and 2 Sanguinary Novitiates in a single FOC. Not that you'd want to, but you could. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227070-what-champions/#findComment-2720582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah, I think 3 sang priests is plenty.. Plus I have a Novitiate too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227070-what-champions/#findComment-2720724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
