durdle-durdle Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 so for psychic powers, I assume we have: 1. Wings of sanguinius 2. Blood lance 3. Blood boil 4. Shield of sanguinius 5. Unleash rage 6.? And as far as stratagems, there are 25 blood angels strats, we know of how many? (I’m on phone and it would take forever to type out). And we know relics and warlord traits as above.

Sawtooth Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I can't think of anything else to ask at the moment, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate all the info, James. Having to wait for that NDA to lift must have been hell, you've done the Primarch justice with your discipline.

Pendent Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yeah, this thread has actually done a ton to get me pumped for the codex again.

Blindhamster Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks for posting this, whilst I have to say, I don't feel a lot of this interests me as much as I'd hoped after the promising start, it still is great that you're sharing! What options do primaris sergeants/lieutenants have? DA ones are obviously getting plasma pistols, I'm assuming it's too much to hope for anything interesting on ours?

Move one unit of death company infantry as if it is the movement phase. They can advance. Only can use once per game That's pretty great. There is a ton of good stuff in here. You can combo that with Lemartes coming in using Decent of Angels first turn to make sure he makes the charge with the DC. There are a lot of crazy combos I can think of. Thanks man. I know some people are being Debbie Downers, but honestly all this makes me so much more excited for the Dex. DC won't be optimal as we hoped, but with strats they can certainly still work. The other thing is what I've been running so far in 8th looks nothing like what I want to run now. It'll be like playing an entirely different army. Can't wait.

Ekfud Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Pics on the nz site of 20x squad markings in company heraldry.

Remtek Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Are there any dreadnought related strategems and are there any defensive strategems (saves against mortal wounds or similar) Thank you so much for answering questions!

Crimson Ghost IX Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hey James I, Thought of a couple questions after the Descending Angels excitement died down some. =) Are company vets with jump packs still in? Datasheet changed from the index at all ?? Do we have all the same Ancients as previous ?

Use at start of first turn. Move one unit of death company infantry as if it is the movement phase. They can advance. Only can use once per game Wow, is that the exact wording? If so, that's stupidly good the jump pack death company. You know who's going to go first so you can use it to redeploy them or just move straight up the middle. If you're going first that gives them a 24+3d6" charge range. There really isn't a ton of hiding from that, especially on some of the close range deployments. Hell, use that and have a unit of sanguinary guard deep strike in. Then you can use the decent of angels strat for the sanguinary guard and you're pretty much in melee in their deployment zone with 2 awesome melee units turn 1. Plus throw in a jump pack librarian with the quickening to get a 3rd unit. I can see the complaining now...
