Blood Angels: Wrath of the Doomed

 

The Blood Angels are still pretty angry about the death of their Primarch, and one of their three new detachments focuses on the Death Company.

 

D3+1 mortal wounds are going to kill one or two Death Company Space Marines, so it’s better to use this on a larger squad, but being able to crash home with the rest of your squad can tilt a battle in your favour.

You can even get angry on your opponent’s turn with Instinctive Interception.

 

The Heroic Intervention stratagem has been updated for the new edition, with a second level added at the cost of an additional CP.

 

So, with Instinctive Interception, you can Leap to Defend for free or charge Into the Fray for just a single CP.

You can even get closer to your enemies in their Shooting phase. After your unit has been shot at, it can make a surge move towards whoever it was that was foolish enough to shoot at you.

 

A surge move is a normal move where you must try to finish engaged with the closest enemy unit. That means you can get your vengeance in early.

 

I'm not a fan personally... d3+1 mortal wounds to be able to advance and charge is a pretty awful trade most of the time IMO.

 

 

watching the full video there is also

Legacy of grace - which is for infantry characters and units - gives +1 advance and charge, cant be used with other "grace" detachments

- blood boil enhancement for psyker, makes their attacks anti everything that isn't a monster or vehicle 5+.

- has a strat to give 5+ invulnerable as a reaction to being shot 1CP

 

Encarmine Speartip - specifically boosts sanguinary guard to allow them to fallback and shoot and charge

- has a strat "blurs of vengeance" that gives them stealth as a reaction for 1 CP

- shadow of abomination enhancement that gives a jump infantry character +1 damage once per game for the fight phase.

 

 

Interesting note here, none of the above modifies to wound or strength in any way. I am more and more convinced we'll go back to red thirst being our army rule tbh.

Thought this was worthy of its own thread.
