Blood Angel Relics + Warlord Traits


Rafen IX

Recommended Posts

So if/when/hopefully the new codex comes out (I'm not continuing that vein lol). Seeing the C:SM relics. What would you like to see in our book?

Regardless of wether you were a fan of the James Swallow books, the 'Spear of Telesto' would be interesting. A spear with a template shooting attack.

Warlord trait - Descendant of the Angel - The Blood Angels are experts at striking from the skies, but even among their ranks there are some who take to aerial and jump combat as though they themselves had wings like their Primarch. If the Warlord joins a unit equipped with jump packs this unit may assault the same turn it deepstrikes.

Relic - Deathmask of the Sanguinary High Priest - This legendary artifact is said to be the chapter Deathmask that most closely resembles Sanguinius. Such resemblance triggers subconscious memories of their Primarch's death in the minds of all nearby Blood Angels, unlocking depths of ferocity that come perilously close to the Black Rage. Blood Angels units within 6 inches of the character wearing the Deathmask of the Sanguinary High Priest gain the Preferred Enemy special rule for any enemy unit they are in close combat with, they also gain the Fearless special rule. The character wearing the mask causes fear.  Only able to be worn by Captains and Sanguinary Priests.

Relic - Fury of Baal - This ancient chainsword is imbued with the pain of a chapter, crafted as it was during the scouring and exists as a monument to the vengeance the Blood Angels are capable of. Its teeth are harder than those of any other chain weapon in the chapter armoury and never seem to dull. The melee attacks of the bearer have the rending special rule and +2 strength. Any unit the bearer joins has furious charge.



As an aside why on earth is spell check telling me artefact is a correct spelling?!

How about "Air Superiority" - Flyers in your army gain Interceptor when an enemy Flyer or FMC arrives from reserves.

 

Ooh, you know what would be cool?  Something like Sergeant Chronus, a named character upgrade for a Stormraven/Flyer.  Who would give BS5 and Interceptor :)  Or just Interceptor, its an incredibly powerful rule.  interceptor and Vector Dancer would be amazing.

 

Relic for the Blood Lance should be a Power Lance that is AP2 on the charge at inititative, and AP3 otherwise.

Relic: The Shroud of Sanguinius. Counts as a banner that confers +1 attack to the unit that purchased it, additionally any units in 12" are subject to following special rules

Feel no pain(4+) and Rage of the Primogenitor( +1 strength and initiative on the charge).

 

Masters of the sky: Any unit or model equipped with a jump can use there jump packs twice in one turn, deep strike D6". When making hammer of wrath attacks, the unit may use modified strength and special rules of any close combat weapons.

I'd love to see more lances in our armory! Give me a half decent lance relic and it'll prob be in a fair bit of my lists.

 

 

 

I'd like the Executioner's Axe and Axe Mortalis changed to artifacts that allow fighting at initiative!

I second this motion.

How about a relic that prevents overwatch? Gives a 3++ save and shrouded but doesn't take up an arm slot. Maybe another buff to all friendlies within six inches of the unit say... +1 initiative?

That's not over powered, that would be game breaker. I'd satisfied relic that prevents overwatch (rrequires initiative test) and would give shrouded.... 3++... what are we, Legion of the damned? msn-wink.gif
