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 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 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 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
