Blindhamster Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Brutalis looks good in red. I wonder if Dante may be in book 4 alongside farsight etc, as it’s a blood angels brutalis fighting tau in one of the promo shots INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhavien Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Indeed it looks good. Glue on some ba iconography and it's golden. Unfortunately I have no use for the rest of the box agastus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The lieutenant looks like it’ll have a plethora of nice bits for making other models tbh. heavy intercessors don’t really fit BA that well I guess. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sword/Shield/Volkite combo from Indomitus is probably the best loadout for a BA Lt. It provide the Invulnerable save that he is otherwise missing and the MC Sword combos really well with Red Thirst. Power fist probably works better for Space Wolves who get +1 to Hit in the first round of melee.

Majkhel Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Fist is a half-measure Should have the TH imo. However I think the new multi-part Lieutenant simply got regular Primaris Captain options. And those do not include TH sadly. Perhaps we'll get a Gravis Lieutenant at one point too. However I'm still waiting for JP-equipped version.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It was super dope getting to meet @brother_b at the LVO this year. I swear I thought I was going to meet @Spyros too. But it was a different gentleman with the same on his team shirt. Haha! Anyways, loads of fun. Lots of excitement for the new models! brother_b and Spyros 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Well, back from LVO. Only managed to win 2 of 7 games but had fun anyway. Here's the reveal on what my contribution was for January (bonus pictures from drive down to Vegas): 1483591656_Vid20230127101641189v2.mp4 Edited January 30, 2023 by Spagunk Spyros, Dont-Be-Haten, Jolemai and 5 others 6 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the weekend was great, but suuuper hectic! One bro-hug or high five and then back to gaming. I'd definitely consider going a day earlier on Thursday to get a chance to hang out with people prior to the tournaments. It takes your whole day and it's surprisingly very tiring, I was pretty exhausted. Glad to have met you if just for a moment, if you're going again next year we'll plan accordingly. If other peeps are curious I'd say take the plunge, start off easy, and maybe we can do a whole BACS meet up! Dont-Be-Haten 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a gentleman there whose jersey said Spyros K. I legitimately walked up to the guy at the bar and asked him if he played Blood Angels. Lol! Alas Spyros is a popular name I take it?

Rhavien Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So, Jack Harpster won the LVO with his Blood Angels. I didn't see anyone talking about it yet. What do you think? While I'm happy to see our beloved Blood Angels winning and get a spotlight, the meta already has changed again. LVO was still using AoC rules, pre point adjustments, Nephilim secondaries and so on.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think one of the coolest things Mike Brandt talked about was bringing back the World Championship series. With major hosted events offering anyone an opportunity to represent their country by placing in a sanctioned event. With regards to the LVO: Placement is very difficult to determine based on BCP points etc. Though mostly I just heard people complaining about Votan on the Elevators. Taking away AoC will shift the meta. BA have more 2+ saves than anyone else, so it's no surprise that they performed well. Although I believe there's going to be a big meta shift towards Dark Angels with all the rumors and rumored new units they will be getting.

Karhedron Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I agree, AoC favoured SangGuard spam. The points drops helped all Marine Chapters but I think the changes to Doctrines benefit IH and DAs most. Seeing as DAs were performing well anyway, I expect to see them come out on top during AoO.

He won with the old rules, with Player Placed Terrain, and the info that BA can win tournaments with those rules piloted by one of the best players isn't really news. Player placed terrain bumps BA up tremendously, from A to S tier in Nephilim anyway. The list that he took just straight up doesn't work in AoO because it relies on Fury of the Lost to score points, and that no longer exists. But I'm pessimistic about BA in Arks, the only thing I'm excited about is that Baal Predators *might* be cheap enough to be ok. Or at least running them is no longer crippling, and I have 2 on my paint station for the HH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhavien Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I agree to all of the above. Let us all pray, that GW is also aware of that situation and don't mark BA as "needs nerfig" somewhere in their books. Yesterday they did a lvo finals rematch on the art of war Youtube Channel with AoO rules. Does anybody know how it's ended? When I tuned in it was turn 3 and in favor for BA, but I'm not a fan of live matches. I can't have a look now, because need to be a sponsor to see the batrep afterwards.

Jolemai Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Spoiler Plastic Scorpius is towards the bottom of my wishlist I suppose I could look into a Typhon, but I already have a Cerberus... I suppose it depends on the stock and what grabs me at the time. For some reason, I'm thinking about a MkIIb Land Raider, but only because I can't believe it's not OOP yet.

Well I missed out on grabbing a typhon recently. The fact it's Strength 12, large blast, sunder, rending (4+) Annandale brutal (4) with flare shields makes it worth the 425 points. I really want one. It feels appropriate for a Lord of War! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 I need to decide what I'm doing with my BAs for Heresy tbh. I used to run an Armoured Breakthrough list at 2.5k, but with the changes to that RoW I need to decide if I want to continue to make it work or try something else.
