CrystalSeer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Quick question gents: I was looking at running my strike force as Blood Angels, because it looks like it would fit their style pretty well, but during my first read through, it looked like blood angels dreadnoughts could not take the venerable upgrade, which is a requirement for the formation. Did I just not see the upgrade? Is this covered in an FAQ somewhere? Or can they legitimately just not take the unit/formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Blood Angels don't have traditional venerable dreadnoughts, we have Furiosos instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We don't have the Venerable upgrade so no, we can't use that formation. However, feel free to talk to the people you are playing with and see if they will allow a Furioso instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a formation, I'm sure that it will specify that units much be chosen from the space marine faction, in which case, they cannot take it.

CastellanDeMolay Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The faction is Space Marines, so you would need to run them as a Codex SM chapter. For the units in that Formation I'd recommend using Iron Hands Chapter Tactics, they vaguely resemble the benefits of BA (FNP, albeit without priests present) and work well with the mandatory vehicles. (IWND, not really BA'y, but tactically sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Interesting that IWND and FNP 6+ are considered more Blood Angely than using your packs in both phases, or hit and run. ;) BA have plenty of other detachments. I just wish one was a dreadstorm. Like the Chaos Murderpack, but with DCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Strike Force Alpha doesn't include any Jump Infantry, I thought that might be a little redundant. Hit and Run would be greatly beneficial if it could be combined with Rage, but sadly that's not possible, and it doesn't do a huge amount for Terminators, so I suggested something vaguely BA'y, but also useful for the mandatory choices in the formation.

Xenith Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Fair enough; I dont remember what's in the formation! Was that the box with the new termie captain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettanker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just paint them red and have them as another confused successor chapter Exorcists FTW. They're red and, as per FW, not restricted to any one specific chapter tactics. Pick and choose whichever one works best that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
