Blood Angels 2000pts-3 redemptors, 14 Plasceptors, 15 Tacs

[Djangomatic82]

I've been working on this and tweaking for a while now and would like some advice on if its viable or not. The idea is to give the Chapter master re-rolls to one of the Plasma Inceptor units, let a second benefit from the Decent of Angels strat and then it and the third use the re-roll 1's aura, as well as re-rolling 1's from Wisdom of the ancients, placement and battlefield situation allowing. The Sanguinary Priest is included to provide it's 6+FNP and healing/rez'ing. The librarian with jump pack is intended to strip high value targets of their invulnerables, letting all the plasma do its work. The three Tactical squads are intended to take and hold objectives while the rest of the army engages targets. The sergeants have chainswords in order to benefit from the BA's +1 to wound CT.

Looks very solid. My only suggestion would be giving the Sanguinary Priest Selfless Healer rather than Soul Warden. Healing twice with those high value Inceptors and Rezzing for 0CPs are really good bonuses.

 

Also, I would rate the Armour Indomintus over Artificer Armour. You get +1W and and one-off 3++ for tanking a nasty hit. The 5++ on the Artificer Armour only actually comes into play if you are getting hit with AP-4 or worse.

Ahhh, yeah, the omission of Selfless healer was due to a choice between it and 3x Onslaught Gattling cannons for the Redemptor Dreads. 24x S5, AP-1, D1 shots , swapped for 3d6 S5, ap-1, D1 shots and +1 extra heal and a free rez per turn. I can be done.

The Armour Indomitus is a good call, It had been on a Lieutenant in a prev iteration, before dropping a plasceptor in order to get the points to make the Chaptermaster.

One idea in addition to that would be that the Libby could take the Artisan Armour now for a 2+/5++. It may be partially redundant if Psychic Fortress is going to be up often and the added +1 to deny at 24" might be clutch depending on match ups. . An alternative could be the Adamantine Mantle.

 

Edit: I just realized i could drop the Relic Blade on the Chaptermaster to free up 10 points and add back 2x Onslaught Gattling Cannons. 16x S5 Ap-1 shots are better than 6-7 S7, Ap-3 D2, +1 to wound roll  melee attacks.

Tinkering a bit more and I think dropping 1 Plasceptor in order to get that 3rd Onslaught Gattling Cannon and swapping those 15 Tac's into 15 Assault Intercessors with 1 Thunder Hammer, 1 PowerFist and 1 Power Sword, as well as spending 1 CP for Angel Ascendant to give the T.H Sgt Quake Bolts for +1 to hit in melee is a pretty good trade off.

 

Lose: 2d3 Blast S8, ap-3, D2 shots, 30-45 S4 Ap-0, D1 and 12-15 S4, Ap-1, D1 melee attacks

Gain: 8 Heavy S5, Ap-1, D1 shots, 48-60 S4 Ap-1, D1 Chainsword attacks, 4-5 S5, Ap-3, D1 P.S attacks, 4-5 S8, Ap-3, D2 P.F attacks and 4-5 S8, Ap-2, D3 TH attacks.

 

Also, with the switch to Primaris, the option to use Gene wrought might,  Trans Human and especially Honour the Chapter for the T.H squad, become a real thing. 8-10 T.H attacks with +1 to wound and still hitting on #'s with Quake Bolts is a threat to most anything in the game.
