Lunar Centurion Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So I'm finally going to order my BA. So... to make a good and fluffy mechanized Blood Angels list, what do you recommend? I've already got the BaC set, so I'm good for Tacticals. My budget is around $450 (I can go a bit above, but nothing too crazy). Here's the first draft (I'll edit it later) From FW: -LACAL -Garro (Mostly for the model, less of for the fighting, I'll still use him though) -Sicaran -2x MKIV Blood Angels Shoulderpads -BA Heads -BA Torsos From GW:-Rhino -Land Raider How's that for a starting list? What should I change? What should I add? Thanks in advance!

Charlo Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Honestly, I'd hold fire until February. With BaC you have plenty to paint and the things on your list aren't going anywhere. I'd hate to make a big order, then book 6 comes out and all of the BA rules mean your army isn't very well optimised, or worse yet - unusable!

Lunar Centurion Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yeah, but I could always not use a RoW, so I could really play it any way.

Flint13 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 There is never going to be a Rite of War that invalidates staples like Sicarans or Land Raiders. That looks pretty darn solid for things that will be valuable no matter what style of play you're going for, Lunar.

Lunar Centurion Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Okay thanks. Now to actually motivate myself to spend $450 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317053-ordering-my-blood-angels-today-need-help-finalizing/#findComment-4250147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just order the shoulder pads and upgrades, paint those up until feb.

Brother Dallo Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 If you haven't bought anything yet, I'd avoid getting the two red books. There have been rumours of them getting updated at some point in the new year, and it would suck to have to buy them again.

Ishagu Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'd go ahead and buy the models you've listed! Perhaps hold off on the red books, but the kits you're planning on getting will definitely not be invalidated :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317053-ordering-my-blood-angels-today-need-help-finalizing/#findComment-4250648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Centurion Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 If I don't buy the LACAL won't I not be able to play? It would really suck to not be able to play any Heresy until February.

Frostmourne Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Are the Red Books not discontinued now?Pardon, some of them are. Whats left is the generic Astartes Book and the Mechanicum book. To be honest mate, i would hold off on them, i know it would suck, but it would also suck to spend 30 quid on a book, only to have it invalidated in a month or two. Just buy models with that money if you dont want to save it, is my recomendation.

Ishagu Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well, we don't know if it will actually be invalidated. Forgeworld might just release an extensive FAQ...

Frostmourne Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Could be, but there are now alot of units, and new RoW apparently in the new book 6, that people would expect in a concise little book like the Red book.

ElectricPaladin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'd say get the old school land raider and rhino from FW. They're cool!

Ishagu Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 If by old school you mean the Landraider Proteus, then he definitely shouldn't get that as it has different rules from the Regular Landraider. The Landraider mkIIb or whatever is a FW part resin variant but it doesn't look as good as the normal one!

Lunar Centurion Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well I already have a Mars Pattern Rhino, so I don't really have a reason to also get a Deimos one, and for the Land Raiders... I think it's cheaper to buy the GW Land Raider. So final verdict. Order today? And a side note. Where to get a Navigator model?

Frostmourne Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Navigator, probably eBay, although quite rare. Some Facebook groups occasionally sell 30k bits and bobs so maybe try that, Also, i would say order today, but save some for the book, you're going to want book 6..
