Soulshade Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) So Im going to this campaign at the end on April. Its an annual thing and Ive always take Blood Angels. This year I wanted to mix it up and take something else. Ive tried multiple lists and army ideas, but Ive never been able to settle... the IX legion kept drawing me back. So... its the heresy... anything goes for any legion pretty much. So I decided Im taking this! Its all new toys and drastically different to my Day of Revelations list. The List Right of War Armoured Breakthrough HQ [230] Master of Armour - (Warlord) Sicaran Battle Tank, Lascannon Sponsons, Armoured Ceramite, Dozerbaldes [130] Chaplain - Artificer Armour, Refractor Field, Blade of Perdition, Melta Bomb Troops [115] Predator - Predator Cannon, Lascannon Sponsons [115] Predator - Predator Cannon, Lascannon Sponsons Elite [790] 10 Terminators - Cataphractii Armour, 2 Power fists and Assault cannons, 2 Chain fists, 6 Lightning Claws [Tran] Spartan, Armoured Ceramite, Flare Shield, Dozer Blade [250] 10 Veterans - Machine Killers, 2 Melta Guns, Sergeant - Artificer Armour, Powerfist.

But I could do with roughing them up a tad... they are far too clean Anyhow Ive made a start... http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q517/Soulshade876/Echo%20Point/5940B8D4-911D-4030-997E-75CD854235F2_zps9frvkfle.jpg Nothing special yet, but some kit bash test models for the Perdition Blade and Vet squad. Hope to throw some paint on em at the weekend. Update at the weekend.

Supe robot gangster #1 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hate to burst your bubble (and I may be wrong, I don't have my black books on me at present) but I believe blood angels can't have more Tanks than units with the legions astartes rule, you may get by if DT's aren't counted, but I have a bad feeling that they do not count. The list looks nice however! And I really hope I'm wrong! What kind of lists are you most likely to face?

Soulshade Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 DTs arn't included in the Blood Angels, Host of Angels, Astarties rule. So Im good on that front. The weekend is a campaign. So play with your opponent rather then against. However there are some pretty hard lists. The usual Primarch + fighty unit + spartan combo. Imp Fists and 60 tacticals behind walls with Dorn. Dark angels plasma / acid rounds spam. Multiple flyers ect. But like I said its play with... so its all about your attitude while using those lists :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330548-echo-point-a-blood-angels-plog/#findComment-4641995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Woo Leeds! I like the minis so far and the list looks a laugh. I will have to pull my finger out and sort out my Ultramarines and Iron Warriors if the event is on next year..

marine7312000 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I hate to say it but even with the DT taken out you're still over the limit. I see 5 10 individual units and 7 tanks. To my knowledge, its individual tanks counted and not squadrons.

Soulshade Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Each attack bike is a Legion Astartes unit and the character could be counted as one too (though thats iffy, so I haven't). Also its more LA units then Tank units :) However mine are all individual so thats a moot point. So by my reckoning. 8/9 Legions Astartes Units 5 Dedicated Transports 6 Tanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330548-echo-point-a-blood-angels-plog/#findComment-4643086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulshade Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 So the test Rhino is up to a Table top Stadard. Going to give a go at weathering it tonight. http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q517/Soulshade876/Echo%20Point/C5FF62C1-35BB-4898-9A31-0D18AE05550C_zpsx0zlble9.jpg Its a bit Vanilla, but with no transfers and the Brass Etch looking a bit meh I cant do much more. Hoping the weathering spices it up a bit.

Nova_Dew Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Consuls do have the Legion Astartes rule so they do count, Host of Angles (unless changed in the next Black Book) says can not have more units with the vehicle type (except dedicated transports) then units with the Legion Astartes rule. The OP's list is legal and could replace one LA unit with another vehicle unit. Myself, I have been tempted by a Fury of the Ancestors list, six contemptor talons, three Deredeo's, three seeker squads, four veteran tactical squads and three HQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330548-echo-point-a-blood-angels-plog/#findComment-4650054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to wait for ForgeWorld to release the Angels decal sheet. Now I know it can be done, its time to splurge! Ive 10 weeks to get this done!

Soulshade Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 After looking at my list Ive decide to alter it a little.

Soulshade Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 So managed to get 2 games in this week. First at my local club. Where after the first game I found out that the list was actually illegal. In armoured breakthrough all Infantry must deploy in a transport. Jump infantry cant go in a transport, so cant be in the list. Second game used a 2K variant of the new list at Warhammer Wold. The list now is.... Right of War Armoured Breakthrough HQ [230] Master of Armour - (Warlord) Sicaran Battle Tank, Lascannon Sponsons, Armoured Ceramite, Dozerbaldes [130] Chaplain - Artificer Armour, Refractor Field, Blade of Perdition, Melta Bomb Troops [115] Predator - Predator Cannon, Lascannon Sponsons [115] Predator - Predator Cannon, Lascannon Sponsons Elite [790] 10 Terminators - Cataphractii Armour, 2 Power fists and Assault cannons, 2 Chain fists, 6 Lightning Claws [Tran] Spartan, Armoured Ceramite, Flare Shield, Dozer Blade [250] 10 Veterans - Machine Killers, 2 Melta Guns, Sergeant - Artificer Armour, Powerfist. [Tran] Rhino, [250] 10 Veterans - Machine Killers, 2 Melta Guns, Sergeant - Artificer Armour, Powerfist. [Tran] Rhino, Fast [50] Attack Bike - Illiastus Assault Cannon, Meltabomb [50] Attack Bike - Illiastus Assault Cannon, Meltabomb [50] Attack Bike - Illiastus Assault Cannon, Meltabomb Heavy [95] Baal Predator - TL Illiastus Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons [95] Baal Predator - TL Illiastus Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons [215] Sicaran Venator - Armoured Ceramite, Dozer Blade LoW [565] Felblade - Armoured Ceramite, Space Marine Crew 7 LA units, 7 units of Tanks. 3000 Points. So As I said, 2000 point game. So I dropped the LoW, the Spartans Flare Shields, Chaplain, Venator and an Attack bike. http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q517/Soulshade876/Echo%20Point/35D54313-4C9A-45C6-AD42-3B55DFBBD3E9_zpssbbuzp4k.jpg I was playing against my usual Dark Angel foe. I didnt take any notes, so cant full remember what went off. But Highlights were my terminators dying to a squad of 10 rapid firing combi plas. After saves I took 15 wounds! His Vindi LD basically popped a tank a turn until I somehow killed it with an assault cannon from a bike. 1 DA Terminator Sargent with chainfist running into multiple tanks and not ever killing any of them. Until I got bored of him and turned a lascannon on him. Game was very tight and we finished 12 all. Anyhow the game was a distraction while I waited for my FW order to show up. This is the fist of the 3 attack bikers, was a test run to see if the kit bash would work. Im happy with it http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q517/Soulshade876/Echo%20Point/1AA61A98-A0A9-4EDD-81E2-29DF5DDFE233_zpsn62ybydl.jpg I'll make the other 2 tonight and hopefully start to get some paint down.

quinnwolf Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The attack bike looks excellent, will be even more impressive as a trio. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330548-echo-point-a-blood-angels-plog/#findComment-4656734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looking good. Why heavy bolter sponsons on the Baal predator and not assault cannons? They're a thousand times better.

Soulshade Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Mostly because of what was said at the Angelus seminar at the HH weekender. Both Angels will get looked at again. I dont want to spam Assault cannons everywhere for them to remove the option of having them instead of Heavy Flamers.

grand_master85 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks indeed! Although having watched the video, yours looks so different to the painted marines (much preferring your finished result over the one in the video).

Soulshade Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks. I promise its the same and probably my dodgy photographic skills that make it look different.
