Blood Angels Detachment of the Week Series

 

Welcome to part one of the Blood Angels Detachment of the Week series!

 
Following the release of the 10^th edition Codex Supplement, there is no better time to discuss all the units we have access to. Each week a different unit will appear, with the idea being that we discuss how best to use that model on the battlefield. Where part one will discuss the units from the units found within Codex Supplement: Blood Angels, and part two will discuss Codex: Space Marines.
 
Note, this isn't to lament any nerfs, etc, from previous editions; the rules are as they are so try to unlock its potential for those who wish to use them all the same. Similarly, this thread is only for using the option being discussed; it matters not if you feel something is a better choice as such comments aren't constructive to the topic and shall be removed.
 
Without further ado, here's this week's entry:

 

 Gladius Strike Force

What are you thoughts here folks? How best would you use the Gladius Strike Force Detachment?

• How are you building your lists, and at what points level?
• What Characters are you using?
• What units are you using?
• Enhancement synergy of note?
• Stratagem synergy of note?

 

Over to you.

Is there really no one on here playing Gladius right now?

[Karhedron]

Nope. I  just can't see any significant synergy between the detachment and our units.

Not any more. I tried it early on and was whelmed, but that was over a year ago.

 

I had more fun playing the Salamander detatchment with our boys at the time than I did GTF. That we now have a grip of VERY fluffy detatchments I can't see the point of going "bog standard marine" unless you were doing so out of power gaming considerations, which is the opposite of fun.
