Xenith Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 What units do you like the look of? You're a bit lacking in anti armour (and anti monster), consider: 3x attack bike with multi melta Landspeeders with typhoons triple melta assault squad in a drop pod 3x bikes, 2x grav gun Sanguinary guard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322982-expanding-my-collection/#findComment-4412352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pyrofessional Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 oh forgot about my sanguinary guard also Not the biggest fan of bikes . but do like the Triple melta assault marines how about predators?

Dont-Be-Haten Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I like Baal Preds, regular Preds aren't bad either. I'd say another Storm Raven, or the new storm hawk looks awesome to be honest. You can never go wrong with Mephiston or a librarian variant.

Xenith Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Well, buy them because theyre awesome! BA are the only chapter able to get fast preds from their datasheet - predator annihilators that can move 6" a turn and fire everything? Yes please. Vindicators are also good, as they can move 12" and fire.

Charlo Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 A second storm raven, while pricey, is great - especially with the new flyer rules! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322982-expanding-my-collection/#findComment-4412386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pyrofessional Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 A second storm raven, while pricey, is great - especially with the new flyer rules! But it can no longer engage other flyers.

Charlo Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 It can, with snap shots. But also gets +1BS to ground targets and with our wing leader abilities is quite powerful. Sure we need different anti-air now but it's not too bad.

shaun03 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If you adding to collection for game improvement on table or going for cool models to build and paint? Sicarans are worthy edition,, there fast tanks so they fit with our style and tanks. Hands down better than predators even Baal predators. I own Baal predators ( any BA player should own one or 3 lol) but there weaker in this codex and point wise sicarans are great. If you want to add another dread and :cussing monster go with leviathan dread pricy point wise clocking in 285 stock. Rules are free to download on FW site. But great for AT and monster hunting. Claw and drill mode is nasty in 40k, swapping one arm for storm cannon is great to for horde control. Photos show AC coming with new IA book. Classic BA SC are good for collection even tho models are old as pushing close to 20yrs for some. Drop pods are all so good choice, one can never have too many drop pods.

The Pyrofessional Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the feed back, as shaun03 said one can never have too many drop pods. Probably going for some tactical's and drop pods. or these: A) Buy the above B ]More DC C) assalt marines D) ask for a storm raven for christmas E) buys some tanks F) Other What do you think.

NTaW Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Out of curiosity, what don't you like about Sanguinary Priests? They're a solid buff to any unit or attached IC and they are also and integral institution within the Blood Angels and their successors. Part of why we're such a special snowflake, if you will, compared to the other Astartes Codices. As for your initial post, a second Rhino (I'd always recommend the Razorback kit for the extra parts) would be the first thing I'd nip up for that collection. Gets the other ten Tactical marines more mobile, while the Drop Pod and Stormraven could carry the two Dreadnoughts and maybe the Terminators if you're not Deep Striking them. Added bonus, the two Rhinos are a mobile wall of cover for your DC as they advance. Drop Pods are great as well and can play the same game depending on where you place them unless you're also facing a mobile force that can just go around and shoot at your jump troops.

The Pyrofessional Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just haven't had great experience with priest's . How do you feel about assault marines. I face a Space marine heavy meta. And Grav every where. the rhino just gets wrecked turn one as for the DC they usually kill 2 or 3 units, also Thanks for advice. don't use the Termies just too slow for my Blitzkrieg army.
