DarthOvious Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So I had a thought earlier on today about a Blood Angels and Grey Knights allied Death Star unit. Captain Stern Grey Knight Librarian with Daemonica upgrade for 4th psychic power 10 Blood Angel Terminators with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields Sanguinary Priest So the idea is to get the Librarian to roll on Telepathy for Invisibility. Next Captain Stern will use Sanctuary in order to give the terminators 2++ and the icing on the cake is that the Terminators get feel no pain also. So essentially, provided you have casted the powers you have a unit which needs 6's in order to hit, has a 2+ invulnerable save and also get a feel no pain roll for anything below S8. It's an expensive unit mind you which will require over 800pts in order to take. What does everybody think about this?

Joasht Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 How exactly do you intend to deliver it? You can't Deep Strike the Priest.

Pascalnz Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Add Dante and draigo to it, then you can gate, have 2 guys that will strike at str9 ap2 initiative, make the terms strike str10 and have hit and run Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303097-blood-angels-grey-knights-allies-deathstar-unit/#findComment-3942006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenhardt Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I am very sure that the Daemonica upgrade only works for Sanctic Powers. For all other disciplines you cannot choose a fourth power.

For all other disciplines you cannot choose a fourth power. You might be right there. I do own the codex but it's a bit of my way to get it just now. I suppose we can settle on ML3 and 3 powers.

DarthOvious Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 How exactly do you intend to deliver it? You can't Deep Strike the Priest. It's a good question. If you start with it on the board then it will take a while to get to the other side, but I suppose the unit will be there from first turn and can run in the shooting phase. Alternatively you could cut off 5 Terminators and put them in LR Crusader.

I suppose though that the unit does just literally become unstoppable now that you have added two eternal warriors with four wounds each to the mix.

Quozzo Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 How exactly do you intend to deliver it? You can't Deep Strike the Priest. You can with a Jump pack. The Relic JP works wonders with GK and their deepstriking turn one detachment. AKA Nemesis Strike Force. (AKA the one designed for allies) The Liber Daemonica does only grant an extra Santic power, so you can roll 3 times on telepathy, and then once on Santic to try and get vortex of doom. You wont have any primarises though :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303097-blood-angels-grey-knights-allies-deathstar-unit/#findComment-3942100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Spartan or drop two Terminators and wrap in a Stormeagle. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303097-blood-angels-grey-knights-allies-deathstar-unit/#findComment-3942104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthOvious Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Some good ideas on Transport here actually. I'm not sure if Blood Angels or Grey Knights can have a Stormeagle though. The data sheets tend to tell you what Space Marine armies can take what and I don't think the one for the Stormeagle lists Blood Angels or Grey Knights for that matter.

Jolemai Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Blood Angels can, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it However, they Grey Knights cannot (same as the Spartan) so these transports would need to be purchased as part of the BA detachment/formation.

Oh well, perhaps adding a Stormeagle to my roster could be a good idea.
