Blood Angels Specific Apocalypse Advice?

Recommended Posts

My group's annual Apocalypse bash is in a week and a half and this is the first time we have played this version.

 

I will have under my command a mere 4200 points of suitably painted Blood Angels and my Warlord will be Mephiston. I was hoping that those who have experience with the new ruleset could give me a few tips.

 

So far I believe that I should choose Son of the Angel for my Finest Hour (Mephiston will become a Flying Monstrous Creature for that turn) and, combined with calling an All Out Attack (movement tripled, can still charge/ram/tankshock but not shoot) could be issued on, say turn two (or whenever the opportunity presents itself), but what else?

 

I'll likely only get one strategy card, so what is a good strategy card for a hybrid Blood Angels army these days? My "go to" option has always been the Vortex Grenade (D, Blast, Vortex), but perhaps giving Mephiston the Relic Weapon (+2 STR, +2 ATK) stratagem?

 

Hmmm *scratches beard*.

I hope you own a lot of jumpers, because vanguard vets with melta bombs are awesome in apoc ;D

 

Flying monstrous creature is awesome for mephi because it gives him AP2, but I wouldn't bother with the relic weapon. Personally, I like the shield generator a lot, it protects your valuable stuff for a whole turn.

I'm also ruing the fact that I didn't buy a Fellblade last month. My side doesn't have any super heavies, my opponent has two...

As far as proxies go, we're not allowed to take them and can only take painted stuff. Other than some Death Company, I don't own anything painted with Jump Packs...

Basic list looks like this:

Mephiston

Librarian

Librarian

Reclusiarch

Astorath

Honour Guard

Corbulo

Sanguinary Priest

Furioso Dreadnought

Lemartes

Death Company

Death Company

Death Company

Assault Squad

Assault Squad

Tactical Squad

Tactical Squad

Scout Squad

Scout Squad

Attack Bike

Devastator Squad

Stormraven

Whirlwind

Dreadnought

Calidus Assassin

Vindicare Assassin

Also have two Rhinos, two Razorbacks and a Drop Pod to share out.

Thinking of doing the following:

• Shield Stratagem

• C:BA powers on one Librarian that rides with the tanks

• Divination, etc, on one Librarian that sits with the Tacticals, Devs, Scouts behind an ADL/in cover

• One Tactical Squad is full of Plasma. Will Drop Pod this in near the Havocs (or other juicier target)

• Furioso has Talons, will arrive by Stormraven with an Assault Squad

• Might Outflank my combat Scouts, Attack Bike and leave a squad of DC in reserve

• Calidus maybe to crew the Bastion's Icarus Lascannon?

• Maybe upgrade all my RAS to VAS for a full spread of Melta Bombs and an extra ATK/LDR
