The Iron Chancellor Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 So I recently started my first army, blood angels, and I bought a tactical squad before reading the rulebook and codex.- I realize now that that was not the smartest decision. I assumed that I could configure my models any way and then pay for the points later. - Which I now- still reading through that monster of a rule book- am discovering is not the case. So... I made a 10 man squad with 4 normal bolt gun guys 1 missile launcher guy 1 power fist and plasma pistol guy 1 plasma gun guy 1 melta guy 1 chainsword and bolt gun guy 1 guy with a flamer in one hand and a combo flamer in the other So my questions are 1. Can I field this as a 10 man squad (I'm pretty sure no- but i figured I'd ask) 2. Should I just buy another tactical squad and build a bunch of normal bolt gun guys to complete two 10 man squads? 3. Can I ever use the double flamer guy... ever he looks so cool! Thanks, TIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyprojects Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just off hand, you've got the beginnings of a nice dev squad in there. The bolter guys could either be a barebones unit of tacts (with the addition of another marine, maybe the melta gunner?) or could be fielded as Death company. You could even throw the power fist/plasma dude into DC, but they get very pricey very fast points wise. The flamer/combi flamer guy is a little bit harder: it's not a legal load out per se. But I suppose that you could field him as a captain or a sternguard armed with a combi flamer and ensure that your opponent knows exactly what the model is equipped with. But more boxes of stuff are needed :) definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well some of them could be veterans or members of a command squad, others will just have to wait until you have more models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyprojects Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I should add as well that in friendly games, you cold use these guys as a ten man tad squad no problems, provided that your opponent is aware of what their armament is. Don't count on being able to do it in a GW store or at any sort of formal play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Scrymgeour Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It gets me that "don't worry these all count as boltgun guys" is less acceptable in a GW than unpainted miniatures. Times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Chancellor Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks for all the info, just one more question, what special and heavy weapon do you think I should choose once I complete my 10 man squad plus any ideal sergeant war gear?
