Jorre Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Ill definetly give them a crack at some stage seb, but I think running DC and sang guard in the one list might be a trap. Sang guard with a priest and ancient synergise so well. Really tough unit with the priest bringing them back! I have to try it!

Frater Cornelius Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) It seems like the Veritas Vitae will be a must-take. With an average of 7CP which Marines can bring, it is really easy to burn through all your CP in turn 1 alone. DoA, around 2 re-rolls, the DC HQ upgrade, maybe even DC double move, relics and whatever else is necessary. I have a feeling that lists will not be limited by points, but by Stratagems. For example, you’d run either SG or DC in order to maximise resources and Stratagem use for that unit. If you mix too much, you’d be like my last Nid opponent, who burned 11 out of 12 CP in turn 1 and then had to suffer for it. Hm, maybe the rather lame SM Strats are a blessing, for they teach you temperance and you will never be able to use all of them turn 1.

BaldrickRSA Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Descent of Angels definitely brings us back into the game. Jump Pack units being able to charge 3d6 after deep striking is huge! Correct, love this. This suits my game play perfectly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341903-blood-angels-codex-brief-review/page/6/#findComment-4948596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxus Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Some mathhammer: Descent of Angels gives any JP deep strike unit a 74% chance of landing the charge, up from 28%. Death Company with Lemartes get an astonishing 93% chance of landing the charge, up from 48%.

swordofmandulis Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'm excited and disappointed all at the same time. Some things that so blatantly needed attention have been neglected, Dante for example, why is he so expensive? I assume they thought anything with a jump pack can now use the specific strays so left them expensive. I can however see some decent lists that will work in my local gaming environment, but I highly doubt would be competitive in wider tournaments Chaplain Gunzhard 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341903-blood-angels-codex-brief-review/page/6/#findComment-4948603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigvard Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 James - sorry the quoting system didn't seem to work for me. Can you please confirm that if I use a successor chapter I do not have access to any relic other than the hugely disappointing sword relic? Thanks for the all the info buddy, the rules for the units sound great - your answer potentially renders my entire homebrew mute....

It is as it is unfortunately.Just play your guys as counts-as Blood Angels and don't take any of the special characters if you want access to your relics. ;) Now I have a question for james as well tho! Do we have the “create your own Chapter Master“ Stratagem or is the “create your own Deathcompany Captain“ one our equivalent?

Panzer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 If I were a negative person I'd theorize GW not giving BA specific units much love so people can get used to the thought of not using those units anymore for the time when they switch their focus fully over to the Primaris line. The rationalist in me however says that it wouldn't make much sense to ignore Dante then since they just set him up to be one of the most important people in the imperium and it also doesn't seem like they want to squat Mephiston either. :P Indefragable 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341903-blood-angels-codex-brief-review/page/6/#findComment-4948640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Okay digesting everything... Pretty cool overall. I think a solid rounded list will be: -Sanguinor -Lemartes -Ancient -Large Beatstick DC unit that can 93% a charge on turn 1 -Scouts for board control/ objectives -Second wave combat units -Psykers -Fire support and flyers 3D6 charge is baller as hell. Such a fan of that. I think our only issue is that ALL OF OUR CHARACTERS ARE SO COOL! I'm nicely hyped to be Red again. Sad about the Baal and Dante but I'm convinced he'll be getting and upgrade at some point anyways.
