Xenith Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I went with 4x combi grav, heavy flamer with mine. Special Ammo can deal with everything bar 2+ Saves, so I think plasma or grav is the best option there. It feels a waste to have these guys meltacide when we have assault marines for that. If you have enough grav elsewhere, then you dont really need it, and can stick with regular bolters for a massive saving - losing 2 combis gets you almost an extra sternguard.

Charlo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Cool. I have the Grav guns anyway so I'll probably use those for funsies :D I shall resist my flame temptation for this squad though.... Maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Heavy Flamers really well complement the 12" double tap range of boltguns well.. But I'd rather take 2 Plasmaguns instead, any day. My go to loadout is 2 Plasmaguns, Combi-Plasmas all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't bother with a heavy or special weapons it's not worth losing the special ammo IMO. Combi weapon of choice for me is plas. I run my sgt with a fist, just because the model is soooo cool and it's a nice deterrent if some sucka wants to charge you).

appiah4 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I know we've had this debate before but in my mind there's really no special ammo choice that's better than a Plasmagun.. The upgrade to a Plasmagun is definitely worth it IMO. I would say the same goes for the Heavy Flamer as well, to be honest.. The special/heavy weapon upgrades truly shine when the Sternguard are riding in a Rhino. Drive-by double Heavy Flamer templates or S7 AP2 doubletaps are tasty.

sebs_evo7 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have an 8 man squad. Two combi meltas and one heavy flamer the rest have just bolters. I rarely use anything else other than the krak or hellfire rounds. Rolling up to a unit in a rhino and dropping all those 2+ to wounds. So good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceofCase Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Welp... Internet is still out at my house, so I can't post my vow for the ETL yet. I've got all the prep work done, so I suppose I could take a photo and post it when I can. I'd like to get to painting as soon as possible :( Also super excited for the next IA! Hopefully Blood Angels will get plenty of fancy toys alongside the other chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Folks, the hardback version of Codex: Blood Angels is currently sold out on the UK part of GW Direct. However, the eBook and iBook are still available so please don't get your hopes up as it's likely just going to softback.

Spagunk Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Far too many people put their hopes into "Sold out" statuses nowadays. I don't think this has ever been a good indicator of impending releases. Hell, there have been plenty that stayed for sale right up to their new release (Tau crisis suits/firewarriors for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The amount of things that are, and have been for a long time, sold out in the Adepta Sororitas section would require a hundred new Codex releases if things going Sold Out or removed from the site was any indication.

Frater Antodeniel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 "Hope is the first step to despair" So my 5 main wishes. (From my experience writing the FT un-official Supplement) : - Detachment Benefit : Assault Vehicle for Rhino and Razorback. - Reclusiarch return - Errata, on Scouts (BS/WS4), on...etc - Land Speeder Storm (The Scouts Dedicated Assault Vehicle, that can bring a very good and new taste to the tableboard.) - Deep Strike Formation + Angels of Death Supplement Formations (Like the Stormlance Battle Demi-Company that coupled with a Assault Vehicle Detachment Benefit would become very Blood Angels fluffy). (Ha ! And why not most of my Flesh Tearers Supplement being included in an Official One ?^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope GW give us something half as good! (By good I don't mean OP, just something fun that works and isn't blatantly worse than other marines...)

LutherMax Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Picked up a paint brush for the first time in a long time and did some work on Dante. It feels good to be back :) Chaplain Gunzhard, evildrcheese and Xenith 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucumon Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 - Deep Strike Formation + Angels of Death Supplement Formations (Like the Stormlance Battle Demi-Company that coupled with a Assault Vehicle Detachment Benefit would become very Blood Angels fluffy). If they combined the Angel's Fury Formation with a Demi-Battle Company, that would be sweet and unique.... and eliminating the full Taxtial squad requirement would make it easy and fluffy! And assault rhinos / charging from deep strike. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've been working on a Carmine Blades army. I'm hopefully going to be using Astorath in the army to help tell the story of how the Swords of Haldroth became the Carmine Blades. Pics to come.

CaptainHelion Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Finished up the squad of Scouts I was putting together. Not 100% happy with how they look, but that's the natural side effect of trying to get decent poses out of the Sniper Scout bodies. http://i.imgur.com/APXKmoc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BgIEHYa.jpg Apologies for the terrible photos.
