Ceril Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Dear Sirs and Ladies, Anyone have time over to give some friendly advice to a returning Blood Angels player? Background: About 10 years ago or so we used to play on our old pool table. around 4th ed? Mostly just annihilation missions with massive HQs as they were cool. Models I've found in the closet while digging through: 1 unassembled rhino 2 unassembled assault marine boxes (10 models total) 1 tactical squad (10 models) /w plasma gun&sgt 1 tactical squad (10 models) plasma gun missile launcher sgt 9 scouts /w snipers Mephiston Brother Corbulo Chaplain with jump pack Death Company with 7 models, no upgrades. I think the Rhino was for these. This was from back when you rolled per squad for death company. Vanguards? a mixed squad I used to play as a sanguinary high priest with a 9 strong honor guard (10 models total) jumpacks for all techmarine standard bearer 2 plasma pistols power fist 3 power swords 2 lascannon marines Bits and pieces from these boxes. Plasta pistols, power swords, the odd power fist. Assault boxes has 1 axe 1 sword 1 fist per box Are these okay? How/what should I field? We'll be playing about 1000 points and maybe slowly working towards 1500points. Without drop pods I feel very vulnerable, from the little I've read around people seem to favor them heavily. Sneaky edit: I'll be playing against deathwing terminators and chaos space marines (cultists, shooty stuff but can't remember which mark. Had some possessed too). If we get another friend along, unlikely but possible, he has Necrons and Ulthwë eldars. Any pointers are highly valued! Thank you for your time. P.s. if anyone has good tutortial videos on getting into 7th ed and general gameplay I'd appreciate it.

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Welcome back Ceril! looking over your list of miniatures i do say your in good shape. You might want some sanguinary guard but overall you should be fine. im sure the legion tacticians and our reclusiarch will be here shortly.

Karhedron Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Looks like a promising core of models. I would suggest getting some jump packs for the Death Company as 3 points each is a bargain for them. Tactical squads in a Rhino are fine although if you can pick up a Heavy Flamer somewhere that will work a lot better as it can move and fire.

appiah4 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 My advice: Buy the new Space Marine Codex. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310467-looking-to-get-back-into-the-game-need-advice/#findComment-4110900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 My advice: Buy the new Space Marine Codex. In my mind, you came onto the stage like a pantomime villain, twirled your moustache, delivered that line and got boo'ed off the stage. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310467-looking-to-get-back-into-the-game-need-advice/#findComment-4110990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
