t-dog1996 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I realise I'm a bit late to the party on this thread but here goes: Real Name: Theo Avatar: Just a cool picture of an Assault Marine I found Location: Southern England Age: 23 Years playing 40k: A full decade as of this year Years playing B.A.: 9 years - I started out as a Space Marine player but when the 2010 Blood Angels codex came out I walked into the store to see it sitting on the 'new' shelf. I was blown away by the cover art and bought it on the spot. Never looked back since through the highs and lows. Favourite BA Character: Lemartes, though Dante and Tycho run him close. Chapter: Blood Angels, who else?! Years on the B&C: 7 years Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354088-re-introducing-the-forum/page/3/#findComment-5348202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherAetherick Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Real Name: Eric Avatar: My Chapter Master model (built from Asteron Moloch FW model) Location: Canada Age: 28 Years playing 40k: Started with the 3rd edition Black templars VS dark eldar (what an imbalanced box lol) but didn't really play. Spent a few years of my childhood painting red marines without thinning the paint. Recently got back into the hobby with 8th edition right after Chapter approved 2017. Years playing B.A.: for however long I actually "played" this game. I mostly play space marine soup (DW/BA/x) nowadays but I can never give up my blood angels detachment no matter how hard I try. Favourite BA Character: Mephiston originally, but after reading Dante and Devestation I think it has to be Dante now. Chapter: Sanguine Brotherhood. Red Armour with black left arm. Years on the B&C: Been lurking forever but only actively posting recently.

JamesI Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I'm hoping to come back and be a bit more active so this seems appropriate Real name: James Avatar: My Librarian Dread Location: New York State Age: Way too old Years playing 40k: I started in 2000, first army was Salamanders Years playing BA: 12. I am the odd person who started BA during the heresy that was the White Dwarf/PDF codex Favorite BA character: Corbulo Chapter: Angels Vermillion Years on B+C: Started posting in 2005 I think, and was a mod from 2009-2015 or so. I've been to Adepticon a few times, though not in several years. Twice played in the team tournament with other B+C mods.

Leonaides Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 But the early pdf did coincide with blood Angel's rhino rush of doom! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354088-re-introducing-the-forum/page/3/#findComment-5350945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 For someone who never played that edition, what made the Rhino rush so effective for BA? Fast vehicles? No Hull Points? Charging after disembarking? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354088-re-introducing-the-forum/page/3/#findComment-5351552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 For someone who never played that edition, what made the Rhino rush so effective for BA? Fast vehicles? No Hull Points? Charging after disembarking? Reasons 1 and 3, respectively I think. Going 18 inches with rhinos and charging after disembarking with assault troops such as 4+++ FnP DC and Chaplains that generated extra DC was pretty rad.

Xenith Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 For someone who never played that edition, what made the Rhino rush so effective for BA? Fast vehicles? No Hull Points? Charging after disembarking? The Rhino Rush was a solid tactic for marines in general, but much more deadly for BA as we had the death company. The whole 4th ed 'vehicle access points' rule and 'no charging after disembarking' was made to counter the power of the tactic. Rhino moves 12". 2" disembark. 6" Charge. Your opponent basically couldnt move forward 1st turn. BA instead got a 18" move on the rhino, guaranteeing turn 1 charges.
