GrandMagnus Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 So I just now saw the new BA tactical squad and all I can say is: WOW. Im a long time Ultramarines fan, but Ive always had a bit of an interest in the sons of the Angel because of their flair for Close combat and master crafted armour and weapons. That BA squad just turned me on (In a good way... you pervs... :P). Im actually thinking about making the DIY chapter Im working on into a BA succesor. So, to those of you who have a BA army, any suggestions for what I should get to a small 1000 point force? Cheers, Anaziel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 New codex next week. Little point in giving you last edition's list n all that but you cant go too far wrong with a baal predator in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Guess I will have to wait for next week then Although, current codex wise, would you say tactical squads are a viable option? One thing I do hope for the new codex would be the ability to make custom chapter masters, the old one didnt have it. The codex may not be out, but you can still answer me some fluff questions, right? First off, do all succesors follow the BA standard codex organization and would it be unorthodox/weird to change it? The same goes for the company markings and squad markings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Current codex Tacs are a bit of a weak option, but with the weapon options in the new dex and the new special rules that may change! Honestly though, if anyone gives you advice that is anything other than "hold out a week or two to see", then they may be blowing smoke up your whazoo!

Cronhour Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Death company and a furioso dread seem like a solid bet still, dc we've seen in shield of Baal and furiosos are likely to by the same minus the magna grapple as we've seen the dc dread already.

Charlo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I too hope we get the option to make our own chapter masters with some nice wargear. The codex description mentioned "relics of Baal" so this is a good inclination as to YES. Although we may still be limited to a captain... Maybe.

ThatOneMarshal Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Were probably going to be limited to captains I just hope we get good relics and artificer armor but we aren't getting chapter masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Will there be fast rhino still? I love that, and hope we still get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm sure at least some vehicles will keep fast. Hopefully without the risk of stalling like they used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I am drooling over the new Tac Squad and Sanguinary Priest models. I know for certain at least one Priest is in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The BA tacticals is probably one of the best valued kits in the game now - all those bits combined with the amazing new tac marine bodies, and the icons/flare added directly onto the new sculpts, larger modern bases... I have pre-ordered 2 boxes myself and a Sang priest- can't wait for next sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sorry to sound like that guy, but does anyone have links to all these cool new units? I cant seem to find any pics apart from the new Termies and Librarian, which coloured me unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Wow, that tac kit is sharp. Funny, GW is not one of the sites I thought to look at for images..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I really hope they make tactical squads uself in the book because that was one of the problems I had in this one why should I take a tactical squad when I can take an asault squad. Also anyone notice the strange color they gave the sanguinary priest. I just realised they got rid of the sanguinary priest . Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It's the new Sanguinary Priest that does it for me, very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 So it seems that BA will get a terminator command squad (based on the company banner one of the terminators carries). That would be awesome, but I cant help feel that they look a lot like the standard terminators when you compare them to the highly detailed Deathwing the DA got. Still Im super exited and Im definetly going for some BA succesor when Ive seen all the new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm pretty certain I'm going to be using the new priest as my Corbulo, and regular Apothecaries (with shoulder pad swaps) as my Priests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appiah4 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The codex isn't out yet but at 65pts, the new Librarian should be an auto include at anything below 1,500 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddywarcrimes Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The codex isn't out yet but at 65pts, the new Librarian should be an auto include at anything below 1,500 pts. That depends on 3 factors. 1) How good is the psychic discipline? 2) How many useless warlord traits are there on the table? 3) Which Special Character comes with a good warlord trait?

appiah4 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The Primaris power by itself is good enough IMO, but what we know of the rest is also reminiscent of the 4th Edition powers. Overall, the Librarian will probably be a good force multiplier and not a slouch by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Depends on how many things there will be worth buffing. Solid primaris though, as already pointed out. Much better than 'smite' from biomancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
