Look how that goes... Wasn't that the exact price of a Rhino at the beginning of 8th ed? Good change though. So then another 3 years till it can transport 10 Primaris inside?

Leonaides Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 First new painting of the year, dusted off the brushes for a simple etb intercessor. Eventually he will become grunt 4 in a kill team I suspect but he'll do for now to get me back in the saddle...

Sugarlessllama Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I played my first crusade game, and I had a blast. My Templars Encarmine went toe to toe with my opponents RG successor chapter, and came out victorious (although I only had three models on the table by the end.). My MVP might be my Librarian Dread that flew into his back lines and assassinated his Captain. He died in the end, but it was worth it.

WAR Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 So with the upcoming boarding action box and Arks of Omen, I have decided to build a new army for boarding actions in my group. I picked up the codex, 2 sprues of primaris upgrades and Mephiston. Since I horde models and well my Raptors Chapter is all Scout and Phobos armors. I figured why not add these models to the pile. Easy to build Assault Intercessors....10 man Death Company. Primaris Chaplain. Majkhel and Jolemai 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unseen Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 https://www.goonhammer.com/arks-of-omen-faction-focus-blood-angels/ This might interest those of us with a more competitive bent. Not much in there surprised me, except the reference to the Baal predator. It might actually be ok now? Perma-Dev doctrine at 110 pts means it compares at least reasonably well vs the gladiator reaper, and is faster, and even better, I own 2 of them and no reapers.

Karhedron Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Perma Dev Doctrine and a Sanguinary Priest could be handy if you keep the majority of your army shooty and just have a few melee units that the Priest boosts into the Assault Doctrine as and when needed (e.g. counter charge). Stack with the Chalice Overflowing Stratagem if needed It could be effective but somehow playing BAs as a heavy shooting army just offends my inner vampire.

Jolemai Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 I actually play a couple of lists that way so they would benefit (well, apart from dieing faster ofc) from the changes, but they are either very successful or countered hard. Maybe I need to skim read it again, but I didn't like that article. It read the same as those trying to dramatise the gazillion attacks chainsword DC would have T3 onwards..

The Unseen Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Ohh yeah, I don't like these changes, but I thought it was a neat idea to try and create a list that still leveraged BA stuff to avoid being just "an IH list, but worse". And I don't think the full melee builds will work very well anymore, between the loss of durability, but more importantly, the loss of secondaries. Losing Fury just basically removes "kill your opponent in melee with DC" as a winning strategy, and Relentless Assault is no longer all that much better than the generic BEL. I personally miss the days when my list started with 3 assault squads loaded to the nines with meltaguns and a Sanguinary Priest for each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djangomatic82 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Did a little experimenting with different undercoat colors for my BA. First one, I started with a very dark green, almost grey black base, worked my way up to an almost goblin green mid, then brightened it up with a light pastel green with a white in ending, then covered it with 50/50 Mephiston/Evil Suns Scarlet Next model I unfortunately forgot to get a pic of the progress before doing the final red layer, but in based in a very dark brown, almost Doom Bull brown shade, then worked that up through a medium Oak color into an eventual Cream with an Ivory Highlight. Finishing it off with the same Mephiston/Evilsun Scarlet layer as the first one.

WAR Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My Blood Angel Combat Patrol arrived the other day along with more Primaris upgrade sprues. Mephiston should be arriving today. Majkhel and Dont-Be-Haten 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I've been brain storming, I think even with the points reversal, Plasma inceptors are still high on my list of fun units to bring into the fold. Though I much prefer how gets hot rolls work in 30k. We'll see how I feel once I get back from Vegas, but I forsee some red and white in my paint station future.

Karhedron Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I was running Plasmaceptors before I don't plan to stop, just because I didn't get the discount I was hoping for. They have the potential to be a strong unit but do need building around to some extent. I normally run a Jump or Biker Captain anyway so they are likely to have a source of rerolls nearby. I also run a Jump Sanguinary Priest so healing and reviving expensive multi-wound models is also on the cards.

Oh I just meant I may be able to squeeze 2 squads in rather than the single 1 based off of points decreases. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
