Shaezus Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It turns out there are quite a few 40K players in this part of China, so I'm starting my army from scratch and hoping to get some games in over summer. My 2000 point list will either be a brigade of Sanguine Dragons - my own idea for a successor chapter - or a battalion each of Sanguine Dragons and Blood Angels plus a Spearhead detachment. I want to get that chapter master re-roll without paying points for Dante whilst at the same time being able to use the Angel's Wing, hence the likely mix. Without further ado here is the start on the warlord himself, captain hammerage of the Blood Angels. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/timwoowoo/15263886360970.3575418563976689.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/timwoowoo/15263888079350.4334969278460543.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/timwoowoo/15263887467130.8154968783345155.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Glad to see you back in the saddle Shaezus :) Did you ever meet up with Morticon in the end and/or is he too far away for regular gaming? *cough* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5082083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Good start on Captain Smashguinius. I think a brigade is too restrictive unless you want to play huge games, and 14 CP for two battalions and a spearhead should be enough as well. As for the chapter master reroll, I don't think you can get it unless you take Seth or Dante. Strangely we do not get a generic chapter master.

I moved away from Beijing and have been so immersed in getting life in order, I owe the guy a reply on we chat:D With the high speed trains here, nothing is too far away so who knows.

Thanks Quixus, I fear you are right about the chapter master reroll, though I did think any chapter without a named chapter master could use the stratagem? As for the brigade I found it helped me build a balanced list, but with the extra edge on CP for battalions now that may be the way to go.

There is a stratagem that allows you to change a Captain to a Chapter Master.

Quixus Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I might be blind but AFAIK no such stratagem exists in C:BA. IIRC there is one in C:SM though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5082631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 You are correct, Quixus. So for successor chapters aside from FT, there is absolutely no way to get the CM? Perhaps I should run my successors as an index chapter.

Panzer Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We got the Deathcompany Stratagem instead. +1 attack on the charge, 6+ FnP and the Deathcompany Keyword instead of the better captain aura. It's not a bad tradeoff if you want him to be in melee but not as good if you want him to support your units. My successor chapter master just uses that one instead as well. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5082698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaezus Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Managed to get a decent bit of work done, despite the sudden identity crisis with the successor chapter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5088336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Here also be the 2000 point list. Any comments and feedback from my more experienced brethren here would be welcomed. Brigade detachment - 15 CP total Captain - Thunder hammer, Storm shield, jump pack (JP), death visions of Sanguinius. WARLORD - artisan of war Captain - power sword (PS), JP, Master crafted bolt gun Mephiston 4 x 5 scouts. Bolt pistols, combat knives 2 x 5 Intercessors. Sgts with PS and GL 9 x sanguinary guard. Power fists. Company ancient. JP. Standard of sacrifice, bolt gun 2 x company veterans. JP PS storm bolsters 5 x scout bikes. Sgt with PS 4 x scout bikes. Sgt with PS 3 x Plasma Inceptors 5 x devastators. 3 las. Armour cherub 5 x devastators. 3 las. Armour cherub Thunderfire cannon The company ancient has a jump pack so he can move to buff the sanguinary guard or sit behind the intercessory holding an objective. The veterans were really the only 'tax' in the brigade. I envision them hugging cover and leaping around harassing infantry in support of the troops and bikes. The Thunderfire cannon is there because I believe the Thunderfire stratagem could be a game changer, in any case it brings some nice anti horde to the list. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how I intend to use Mephy, the Inceptors and the rest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5088355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dread05 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I love the helmets on the sanguinary guards, I think they give them much more character than the death masks, but both times I built guards, I ended up with masks. Maybe on my next squad I'll finally do it :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347290-sanguine-dragons-wip/#findComment-5088510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
