CaptainHelion Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 GW has done a whole lot of bundles that have neither related formations nor savings. They're usually just a bunch of units someone at GW thought were cool together, put into a bundle for convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I guess it's just a lazy way to get a whole bunch of models in less clicks :D But are they not normally comprised of a force that can actually be fielded together? Having said that I guess you could field this Unbound - though I'm not sure why anyone would want to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jønke Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I was mostly puzzled why they would include normal assault terminators when we have our own? They should really put more work into finding the right interns instead of the chimpanzee they got behind the keyboard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Those are the Blood Angels Assault Terminators though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jønke Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Not on the picture with the entire force assembled. On the unit picture it is so guess it is BA termies in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 This does indeed look like your typical Xmas bundle time saving thing. Notice how it doesn't have a designated box? I think that's a clue as to it having no Formation rules, etc. Also, this can't be gotten from an Independent store. All points to an Xmas bundle.

CaptainHelion Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Today, I crushed the Traitors of the Iron Warriors and the Emperor's Children! My local GW is running a Heresy styled campaign to celebrate the Betrayal at Calth release, and my win has allowed the Loyalists to conquer yet another territory!

Spagunk Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 On Saturday (was busy with RL stuff so couldn't post after playing it), played an ITC style game against a black templars army (1500 points). I managed to win with 1 more victory point than my opponent as I played slightly more to my objectives in the last turn. So my advice is to always play to the objectives when possible with Blood Angels! I kept forgetting about psychic phase so my mephiston/dc/librarian squad couldn't wipe out the 14 man black templar squad with chaplain/lightning claw HQ in 2 full turns. But they did wipe them out and consolidated in to claim the last objectives before the game was over. With all those DC, it really helped keep mephy and librarian alive despite my forgetfulness. Also, he kept denying my challenges with Mephiston so I got to keep his killy model from seriously hurting my DC! Fun game but even with shooting superiority I had a hard time with the raider. Damn the Lascannon curse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Earp Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Had Monday a crushing Victory vs a Baronial Court list with BA´s with my BA´s allied with Iron Hands and an Crusader Knight. First time i tried Assault Cents. They are very resilent with 4+ FNP :) Althoug i didn´t wanted with them in Assault with the court so they saw only some late game action where they meltered one knight to death. You can find pictures of the fight in my Bucket. :) http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/Slaughter3000/media/DSCN1786_zpsl2w63vrb.jpg.html?o=30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Earp Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah against S10 you need a Guy with an Invulnerable Save to tank wounds. Maybe an Captain with shield eternal or chain. In this game i took an Iron Hands techpriest with JP for the LR and Knight. He repaired two hullpoints from the Knight (on 4+) bringing him back to 6 HP. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Sounds awesome and fluffy, to an extent. May have to do the assault centurions with a shield/chain chapter master. If you don't mind a 5+FNP I hear Pedro I'd good as you can split fire his orbital bombardment/ storm bolter at another target on arrival and tank fairly well, giving all the cents an extra attack to ensure dominance. It also helps that with a storm bolter, the BA games day captain makes a quality pedro model ;) http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat-6528988911982443394_zpssiq1bmki.jpg Dolchiate Remembrancer and Riot Earp 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) If you can put pedro into an iron hands detachment then he is the first who will join this party! Not as resilent as an eternal shield hoshi but more output. Edited November 25, 2015 by Riot Earp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Noice! And sadly no detachment has to be all the same chapter tactics :( so essentially you give up defence for offence and rule of cool? If he's going with centurions and has an orbital strike I'll say he's my master of the fleet/ boarding actions :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As i thought. Pedro would also get an 4+ np with Iron Hands tactics. I get him mainly for my SM Crimson fists Sternguard list. So a Eternal Captain will be my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As i thought. Pedro would also get an 4+ np with Iron Hands tactics. Pedro already has set chapter tactics, unfortunately, no mixing and matching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Additionally, if you put two different chapter tactics together in the same unit, they stop working entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocQuincy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Yesterday the 4th Company under Captain Castigon was able to obtain 2 victories! One against a 1000 point Tau list and one against a combined force of Tau and Necrons with 2000 points! But the most important deed was fullfilled by Seargent NoName of the second Tactical Squad. We played Maerlstrom Mission 2 My list was Captain with Artificer, Grav Pistol and Valours Edge Command Squad with 3xPlasma/SS in a Drop Pod 10 Tacticals with Heavy Flamer, Flamer and Combiflamer in Drop Pod, Combat Squaded 10 Tacticals with Heavy Flamer, Flamer and Combiflamer in Drop Pod, Combat Squaded 5 Deathcompany Marines with JP 5 Assault Marines with JP and 2x Melta The Tau List had 2 squads each of Pathfinders and Firewarriors a Riptide Commander with 3 Crisis Suits 3 Ghosts and a squad of several Drones and a Broadside I had a good first round, dropping both Tacticals behind enemy lines and killing one squad of Firewarriors and both Pathfinder squads, DC moving forward Unfortunatly i only got 1 VP through Maerlstrom and First Blood Tau player couldnt kill much but got 3 VP Not much happend until round 3, my Captain and his squad charged the Riptide, hoping for a fast kill, but even with the support from my DC they couldnt kill him during the game. I was unlucky with my tactical missions, killing his warlord, challenge with my warlord, challenge someone, loosing my warlord... and my warlord was fighting his riptide... I killed his last Firewarrios and his Ghosts, but his Commander and Drones were able to grab one VP after the other while my tacticals tried to get them... Until now i had 3 VP, a fourth through Linebreaker was possible and the Tau player had 8 VP... wasnt looking good for the Angels... His Commander with the Crisis and the Drone squad scored one VP after the other... Finally in round 5 I had 2 5x Tacticals in Charge Range. He killed 2 Marines with overwatch and the squad didnt make it. Second squad under Seargent NoName makes the charge and challenged his Commander. With lucky dice rolls on my side I take one LP from his Commander and one more from the Crisis. No Marine died in return and he failed his moralsave. Killing them with ease on the sweeping advance. With this brave move Seargent Noname gained 1 VP for slaying the Warlord, 3 Vp for the mission to kill him (lucky dice again), 1VP for challenge him and 1 VP because he now was holding a Objective I needed After this heroric action the Blood Angels were victorious with 10:8! Seargent NoName isnt painted yet and will therefore get a promotion to Veteran Seargent as soon as i paint him and I'm looking for a good name for such a hero! http://i65.tinypic.com/wj6snp.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/2nh2u03.jpg Edited November 30, 2015 by DocQuincy Landrick and Xenith 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
