Damon Nightman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I appreciate any advice/feedback! I have a thread titled SOB formation tactics, where I mention using them in the formation if you want to give any advice there so I don't derail this thread lol. I would post the link to the thread but using my phone on the forums has been quite tricky for me, lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321837-alternative-uses-for-sanguinary-guard-bodies/page/2/#findComment-4377771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Basiclally, take a look at all the rites of war. BA's Legiones Astartes rules favour combat, but this doesnt have to be jump packs. It could quite easily be in the form of the Armoured spearhead rite, then have 2 squads of tacticals with bp+ccw in dedicated land raiders as your troops choices, and 3x furious charging veteran squads in land raiders all armed with power weapons as your elites (wounding MEQ on 2+ on the charge, due to BA rules). The LA army lists are super flexible, and you can do a lot with them. BA have the caveat of not being able to field more (non dedicated transport) vehicles than space marine units, and this applies to every rite of war, but you can still do a lot with it. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/7/755961_sm-Baal%20Predator%2C%20Blood%20Angels%2C%20Flamestorm%20Cannon%2C%20Hf.JPG I keep looking at that tank and hoping mine will look half as awesome when it's done! I'm definitely stealing the Death masks on the sides, thing.

keeblerartillery Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm working on some death company that fell to the black rage while part of the sang guard. So they'll keep bits and pieces of their old armor. I'm working on how I want to color it though. I think I'm going to keep the armor black, trim in gold and keep their helmets/death masks gold. Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321837-alternative-uses-for-sanguinary-guard-bodies/page/2/#findComment-4377809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list needs more dedicated Spartans. Too bad most of the elites slots are already filled with veterans.

I'm definitely stealing the Death masks on the sides, thing. Steal away! I stole the idea from someone else anyway! And judging from your painting skills I think you have nothing to worry about in making your Baal look awesome! :) EDC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321837-alternative-uses-for-sanguinary-guard-bodies/page/2/#findComment-4378555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY like that! I am so happy to see it works and will be experimenting promptly.

Fahlnor Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I made a thing! It's a first-attempt list at a Heresy army list. If any of my fellow Blood Angels who have Heresy knowledge could take a gander, I'd surely appreciate it!
