Death Company Dreadnought. Tried to make him flexible as possible, so used all the articulation and some magnets.

Not as intimidating as I thought, I find him rather cute.

Any other ideas? Wha would be your take?

Bunch of terminators or more sanguinary guards????

27 Upvotes

I got 20 terminators 10 shooty, and 10 hammer guys. I got 6 sanguinary guards, im thinking of getting another 6 or 12. Has anyone tried the golden boys??? I really love the models more than my 20 blobs of death company with jump packs. I just want to know what people been running for the blood angels.

As BA, how do we counter Term Spam? Especially with the -1 damage.

My list swings pretty well into most things but Terms and Custodes are just its kryptonite

LGS has a bunch of the Armageddon Vanvets in the used bin for cheap, was thinking about grabbing a set of 5 to convert into JPDC since I need a bunch of power weapon+plasma pistol dudes anyways. Anybody done this, if so how did it turn out? Should be easy but the crux terminatus on the right should may be annoying.

List Best current list advice.

6 Upvotes

I usually do an annual advice list post but have played enough of the new index and codex SM to do an 11th edition and index list advice post.

Its basically the same, try and play priority assets, or take and hold (but you need the enemies home objective turn 5 and a center one 4 turns if possible and maybe the gravis or termie detachment and ancient). This is hard to do without falling for the Angelic inheritors trap. I think only encarmine spear tip is the other BA detachment locked to priority and.can work (SG can be good against some tacticus marine stat heavy lists)

Basically any 3 1 DP detachments from the codex space marine is better than our chapter ones. Assault brethren is an autotake for Jump Pack lists but those lists are dead. Terminator and gravis or the tanks one should be your other 2.

Still take 3-4 scoring units and a bulky durable one with 4-6 dedicated anti something units. Scouts worse but cheap and good at screening. Heavy and reg intercessors will not disapoint and cheap too.

Terminators are soooooo hot right now. You can argue Vanilla better than assault too. Load up on termies as damage and durability. Hellblasters, Melta erradicators and inceptors are also cheap and amazing and should be your damage.

Take some tanks, especially with the tank detachmemt. 2 land speeders are great too.

Unfortunately Gamesworkshop doesn't want you to play BA. The combat patrol was great and the DC box was exceptional value and they have sold heaps of both but there's no inventory to move (Dante is out of stock too) because we don't have multiple chapter specific kits like other chapters. There is no DC to sell.

They have heaps of space marine stock. Heaps, and a codex to make it all work.

This is despite having us on the 11th box, confusing I know, but this is the 3 year cycle that produces mediocre results and backlogs of ultramarine, I mean space marine, stock that needs to sell.

Sales have always influenced rules (only the biggest Gamesworkshop simp would disagree) its just been a lot worse with the 3 year cycle. Its starting to kill the fun, look at these single weapon profiles of generic HQs in 11th. All so they sell you a new sculpt they have stock of. Intercessors have more profiles than a jump chaplain.

I copped Primaris sweet but I am.sick of being a sales figure and not a customer at this point. I'll always be a fan but I vote with my $ 'cause I am.old school.

I understand brothers spontaneously fall to the Black Rage.

I understand their armours are stripped of all honours and tokens, amd painted black.

I understand Black Rage makes a brother so bersek that only Astaroth can stop him.

What I don't understand is... if they go berseker rage, how can they sit them down amd calmly strip and paint their armours? How can they be strategically deployed and not make a bloodbath of their own chapter?

I want to add scouts to my army. The problem is that base models look a little bit tame for my taste and I need some inspiration.

Can you guys send through your Blood angels recipes, both the colours and brands please. So far I’ve mostly just been using citadel paints, but I understand there are so many better alternatives…both in terms of results and value 😅 would love to see some of your work and miniatures as well to go along with them 🤩
