Hyaenidae Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Bah. Forget the Flesh Tearers, everybody is talking about that route. Just create your own identity, and run with it, man. You already got your savage face-skinners with your Night Lords, so since you're doing polar opposites, take a noble approach to your Angels. ...And i just made that up on the fly, bro. :) Shooting you a PM now.

Hyaenidae Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Lol, pretty much, yeah. I always imagined Blood Angel Legionaries with a touch of ancient Arabic architecture-esqe engravings and artwork across their plate and weapons would look gnarly.

Armond Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 V Rapid Assault Pinion, XXXIV Chapter, IX Legion Led by Commander Apexus, the XXXIV is known for their rapid deployment and assault in both terran and void environments. Primarily composed of quick response elements, the Company is noted for their escalation of force techniques; meeting any and all resistance with overwhelming ferocity and precision. They are clad in the arterial red of their Legion, and marked uniquely with the presence of an ebony feathered wing upon their armor. The wing itself is in homage to their father, Sanguinius. While the pitch color of the wing itself is an indicator of their specialization in void warfare, breaching and zero gravity conflicts included. ***more to come, C&C always welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292207-some-help-on-a-decision/page/2/#findComment-3714111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothalor Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm also leaning heavily towards a Blood Angels 30k army. I also love Forgeworld's Destroyer Squad models. Has there been any background whatsoever on the BA stance towards Destroyers? It does seem a little at odds with the whole "noble angel" countenance they've got going on, and you'd think that with the conditions of Baal the legion wouldn't be overly fond of rad and scorched earth weapons. But the models are so pretty... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292207-some-help-on-a-decision/page/2/#findComment-3714140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Nobility is only one facet of the Angels. Remember, in ancient times, angels weren't good guys. They were the vengeful hand of God, casting death and turmoil wherever they tread. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/47/9f/e1/479fe1c891b85f42f2ab75a144e0a12a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292207-some-help-on-a-decision/page/2/#findComment-3714181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sounds like an awesome idea. I'm glad your moving away from the Flesh Tearer concept, which while good, will be massively overdone. A bit like Imperial Fist Templars. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292207-some-help-on-a-decision/page/2/#findComment-3714189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yah, I can see it being very popular though. But I think I am happy with what I have decided now and will run with the Rapid Assault Pinion(Wing, if anyone was confused). Basically they are a Company, so approximately 100 members, haven't decided how many. Main elements will be Assault Squads(magnetized to have jump packs or have standard packs) and Breacher Squads. Use of Caestus Assault Rams, Storm Eagles, and Drop Pods for insertion. Fast Attacks and Elite elements with rapid deployment capability will play a part as Company resources, examples include; Scimitar Pattern Jetbikes(which I own 6, so I may allocate them to the BAs), Javelin Land Speeders, Destroyer Squads, Rapiers(because they are a weapons battery that can redeploy), and Tartaros-Pattern Terminators, and other of the such. Still deciding if Sicarans and Predators will be used or not. Just finished a nice little sell on some old minis I had, so I will be compiling a list of things I want to purchase to create this Blood Angel force. Do I plan on it being as large as my Night Lords will be? Probably not, maybe 2250 max, and I know my Night Lords are already at that point level and I have more to build for them. Seeing as this army will be a representation of opposition the Traitors face on Terra(as per my little fluff), I think MK VI armor will be around. I have a few pieces of it lying around somewhere. More than likely the bases will be Zone Mortalis-style, to show their void-warfare love. I will be altering my NL fluff a little, removing breacher squads, because... Well, because I want to reallocate them to this force, and honestly they only fit the theme a bit, not the same as in the BA force I am looking to create.

Daemon2027 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sounds good. Really looking forward to seeing them. The good thing is, when the Blood Angles get rules you can add to the force.

Armond Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, I can start pretty basic. Breacher squads and Assault Squads, then go from there. Start with the core of course, and make sure I have the proper transports/delivery methods in place. I just have to decide; Tartaros Terminators or Destroyer Squads first. Thinking Termies, but I need to look at my books and see what I think.

chaplain mortis Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Seeing as you have made your mind up, you could do Blood Angels..paint them yellow and call them imperial fists! Breacher squads..cataphractii. .assault rams and khyrabids (spelling)...that would fit the bill and be a good counter to your nightlord blue.. Or just do the blood angels as you have planned haha Good luck anyway and make sure you post progress on your new force Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292207-some-help-on-a-decision/page/2/#findComment-3714786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevatar Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Also, remember, Angels were messengers before the religious associations. Destroyers could be, eh...'messengers of destruction.'

Or just do the blood angels as you have planned haha Good luck anyway and make sure you post progress on your new force Of course I will post pics. I just need to decide on a small starter list, very small. Playing around I thought maybe something like this: Praetor @180 -paragon blade, iron halo, digital lasers, melta bombs, combi-melta Tactical Squad @314 -18 members -Nuncio Vox, Vexilla, Additional CCW -Sgt w/power weapon, melta bomb, and artificer armor Assault Squad @305 -2 x power weapon -Sgt w/Thunder hammer, melta bomb, artificer armor Jetbikes @305 -6 members -2 x Volkite Culverins -Sgt w/Powerfist, melta bomb Total 1104 Obviously it needs work, no breacher squad in there yet, I need to figure out how to make them work. I know the idea is an assault based army, but I know tactical squads(when kitted right) can be kind of fighty! Thoughts?

Armond Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Actually I may just use the Rite of War: Pride of the Legion and work on the I Company, XXXIV Chapter, IX Legion. That way I do have a working force for lower pointcost instead. Monetary-wise this makes way more sense to me. If I pick up ten Tartaros Termies; five as a squad, four as a command squad, one as a Praetor then get ten MK IV models and convert them up to be Vets it would fulfill the ambition to try and get a usable and small BA force on the table. It would also mean that it would work fine as my fluff would want. I think it could be fun, thoughts?

Armond Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 LOL, I am not quite at that level yet! I wish!

Armond Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well dont worry then haha, I am not going Truescale, I am totally cool on the way they are! So what do you think about my idea on starting with the HQ, Termies, and the Vets? Of course using that RoW makes it possible.
