Durundal Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's a good idea but I love Captain Tycho too much to let him go. He complements the shoots or melee (if he was IC as death company) pretty ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orblivion Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think Tycho is a great character for the BA, despite his deadness :P He's the only character that can represent both sides of the BA coin. And if DC Tycho is made able to join DC in the next codex, he will be a very strong HQ choice I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durundal Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Tycho needs a retinue of 3 DC. Or Honor Guard depending on what you bring.To show that he was a great leader and had followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Removing Iconic characters is a bad idea. Still sad that they removed Solar Macharius and retconned his fluff to an obscure crusade. I agree that buffs to specific armies/units are not what jump infantry needs. If jump packs gained fleet and hammer of wrath flat it would make them work. Guaranteed touchdown in your opponent's deployment zone by turn 2 with good positioning this way. Increased reliability for charge range. Maybe even fleet on 2D6 instead of picking the highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orblivion Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've already said my piece on assaulting from deep strike, so I won't keep beating that dead horse. So what do you guys expect the BA Stormtalon will be? I'm expecting a BA specific one similar to the Dark Angels Dark Talon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenderDead Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Maybe not another flyer, maybe some bad ass dudes with huge wings that can move 24" that would be dope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you guys expect the BA Stormtalon will be? I'm expecting a BA specific one similar to the Dark Angels Dark Talon. I'm guessing that it will be more of a fighter than a bomber, to reflect that the Blood Angels are more about air superiority than bombing runs (and besides, they don't want to spoil the "fun" for the boots on the table). It will be an anti-flyer flyer, intended to neutralize enemy air support and then scoot around shooting at ground targets. Perhaps it will even have Hover so it can turn into a skimmer and contest objectives. I floated the "flying close combat centurion" idea a while ago... Dude in a suit that enhanced Strength and Initiative to near monstrous creature levels, 2+/5++ armor, maybe even an extra wound or two. Deep Strike, Jump Infantry, some kind of special rule that lets it leap up to punch flyers. Squads of one to three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Admetus Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If I had to take a punt on 'new unit', I'd guess something Death Company-esque. DA got 2 fliers, and an 'elite' version of their two key features in the form of Deathwing and Ravenwing Knights, along with the derpspeeder. Our big things are jump pack units, and DC... the former we already have a lot of, so some kind of nasty DC. Possibly something mutated to show the red thirst getting out of control.

Bartali Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 From a purely painting perspective, a dual Regular/DC Terminator box with some of the ideas and sculpts carried over from the Space Hulk Terminators would be made of win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd rather not see any kind of mutated Astartes in the BA codex, but I'm not sure I'd like DC Terminators either. If the new 'dex gives us 3pt jump packs like C:SM, then I will definitely run most of my DC with jump packs. I guess a squad of DC Termies assaulting out of a Land Raider would be pretty cool though.

Durundal Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That sounds likely just 5 attacks on the charge FNP terminators :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I wouldn't be too shocked if we got a BA terminator kit. DA, SW and GK all got one and the Space Hulk minis were very well received. However I would be shocked - and more than a little disappointed - were we to get DC terminators. Any other kit might be a more general BA marine kit as although the DC box is full of nice bits there are too many cross motifs and bits of parchment for regular marines. Maybe (finally) character resculpts as clam packs? If tthe metal/finecast phase out is truly happening they;ll have to refresh Lemartes, Tycho, Dante et al at some point. Depending on what they do with them in the codex I could see a plastic priest and/or chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durundal Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Along with all the expected resculpts I would like a less boring mephiston sculpt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orblivion Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Along with all the expected resculpts I would like a less boring mephiston sculpt Dante and Mephiston are both due for new models. I actually like the current Dante model, but I think he is overshadowed by the excellent Sanguinary Guard kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahwc Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I want a rhino/predator chassis with a front mounted assault ramp. I want it to have upgraded front armor to represent the tactic of charging head first into battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to have upgraded front armor to represent the tactic of charging head first into battle. I want this, too. AV 13/12/10. Fast. No firing points, but a heavy bolter on top, upgradable to heavy flamer or multi-melta. Smoke launchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That's quite the stretxh from a rhino chasis. At best we would see 12/11/10 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think we should get the rule: +10 pts Paint it red. Your model may move an extra d6" because of 3rd company's ork tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
