Skorpion Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I would really suggest getting many assault squads - they should be in any ba list you play Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275015-the-final-knob-is-cut-im-starting-ba/#findComment-3364840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthate Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome to BAs! :) First thing is if you want to take multiple DC squads as troops you need to take Astorath as an HQ otherwise you are limited to one squad and 1 dreadnought (if the squad numbers 5 DC at least). Second thing is i think if you really want Tycho he is best used with sternguards (in a pod or a raven).

Lignifier Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Terminators can't take drop pods, you have no scoring units, and you could double your death company numbers if you took out the thunder hammers. That said, VERY aggressive. Sounds interesting!

Zynk Kaladin Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Choosing Sanguinius? You made the right choice! Diggin' the guitar \m/ Sooo you like a "raining blood" style list? Alright,let's start with troops first. Although you have the required 2 troops minimum, unfortunately DC cannot score or claim objectives (poop). However, we can mitigate this downside by taking assault marines. For a drop style list, I recommend at least 1 10 man assault squad in a pod with 2 meltaguns and another 10 man AS in pod with 2 flamers. They're good for slamming down on your enemy's objective on turn 2 (of course after your dreads come in and wreck face). For DC, roll an 8-10 man squad in a pod without the jump packs. It's cheaper that way. I like how you're running sanguinary guard. I love the unit's looks... ANGELS! However, you may find a podded unit of sternguard to be more useful with combi-meltas or -combi-plasmas and heavy flamers, especially with Tycho (who also uses special ammunition). The SG are unfortunately VERY expensive for just a 5 man squad. Finally, I don't think terminators and jump pack marines can take drop pods.
