Father Mapple Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We play 1750 and 1850 a lot in my area of Texas. I'd do Sanguinary Guard squad and Assault Terminators. Priest + Jump pack goes with Sanguinary Guard. Mephiston hides in LOS blocking to not get tabled turn 1, 1 squad of tacticals (with a heavy like a lascannon) jump out on the way in turn 1 and score back/deployment objectives. 2 other Tactical squads pop out on turn 2 rapid fire/flamer/assault the other objectives you want to be on. Priest + Sang Guard come down to help out one group, terminators either on their own or somewhere else. Sounds great to me!

Daybreak Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Just to confirm, I've seen high res shots. It's 1 vanguard and 2 assault squads for the first formation. 3 and 3 for the second and deinftely accurate as written above . Two teleport homers, charge from reserve, turn one to enter play. Sorted. Can you shed some light on the Flesh Tearers Blood Rain one? I'd like to see a confirmation on the formation and its rules please.

ElectricPaladin Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well. I'm not likely to do the stormraven one, which is sad, because that's how I often use my stormraven (ie. carrying tacs who leap out to snag an objective). But... the other one sounds neat, and all I need to do is bash together some vanguard vets to start trying it out.

depthcharge12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'd like to know, does the Flesh Tearer formation cost extra points to run? Like you pay a points tax to run it?

Brom MKIV Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Congrats to you all, some very promising formations on top of an excellent codex (IMO). Very happy about these releases since now my brothers army can return to full glory. Just my preliminary thoughts on the Angels Fury formation but I think the formation will be strongest NOT focusing on assault from DS reserve, although having the option wouldn't be bad. Reason is the models with teleport homers must survive a turn, after skies of fury T1 to enable the assault. That is going to be difficult. That said turn 1 ravens is something many of us have brainstormed to death I'm sure and this will probably be a royal pain for many to deal with.

Pascalnz Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 you don't need to skies of fury, you count radius off effect for those that are transported as emanating from the hull of the vehicle. so they can stay onboard. I've already made a list that has 1 libby dread cassor the dammed and a fragioso charging turn one with that formation, with the added bonus of also having corbulo handing out +1 ws and initiative, it's scary as heck Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300476-new-ba-formations-in-wd-47/page/3/#findComment-3891219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joasht Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Please clarify this rule with me: If I take a datasheet (I'm eyeing the Stormraven one, like everyone else), do the rules of my primary detachment (e.g. +1I on the charge from the Baal Strike Force) apply to the detachment?

Nearly_Unfinished Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I like these formations, They don't require much to make a formation compared to most other formations Blood Angels have since APOC: reloaded. If anything the best thing about these formations for me is that I am only 1 Storm Raven short from making 2 out 3 of these new formations.

benjak Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 With 1750 I can field something like this: HQ Librarian (Galians staff, mb) Elites Death Company 8 (x1 power weapon, x1 powerfist, jump packs) Terminator Assault Squad 5 (TH/SS) Troops Scout Squad 5 Scout Squad 5 Angel's Fury Spearhead Force Formation Storm Raven Storm Raven Storm Raven Tactical Squad 10 (Heavy flamer, flamer, combi-flamer, melta-bomb) Tactical Squad 10 (Heavy flamer, flamer, combi-flamer, melta-bomb) Tactical Squad 10 (Heavy flamer, flamer, combi-flamer, melta-bomb) I'm just wondering if its better to just get a 2nd DC squad instead of Hammernators. Termies with S9 Thunderhammers on the charge with 2+/3++ is pretty great but they are kinda slow. DC are fast and will pretty much munch through anything but they are relatively squishy compared to Hammernators.

Morticon Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 While it may not be the intent, it does seem to over-ride the teleport homer requirement to be on the table from turn 1, too.

Thats a stretch since the raven isn't a model equipped with a teleport homer. Standard language for THs state the bearer must be on the battlefield fyi. I'd be happy to be proven wrong with a rules reference but I'm pretty sure that type of thing is all but eliminated in 7th. Either way I see some shenanigans with GKs rites of teleportation in the near future!

SonOfThunder Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Its units arriving deepstriking that can assault when they come in. Don't know if that would include dreads out of pods. The pod deepstrikes, but does the dread? Otherwise, this is insanely broken. Its very broken as it is already...
