3k Blood angels project

[montambro]

Hey guys,

Need some advice on a new blood angels project. I have a decent amount of it already but need some help.

looking to keep it around 3k with the ability to escalate it to 3.5k.


let me know what you think and appreciate the critiques! Also this is supposed to be semi competitive, but still remain fun.

Fluff is centered on post signus prime (sorry if I butcher cannon). With a focus being blood angels that were pushed to the very edge of madness, but barely made it out.

Brief tactics:

 

praetor, apoth, with assault squad deep strike t 1

Jump Chaplain, apoth, with assault squad deepstrike t1

leviathan comes in t1 with drop pod assault and shoots grav

 

the other chaplain and terminators in Spartan charge forward

 

heavy support guys shoot light vehicles and dreds

 

laser vindis shoot vehicles\

 

lightning comes in a shoots a large vehicle.

I like it. Honestly I would drop the Heavy support squad and take either a third Assault squad or a Damocles Command Rhino and some other stuff. 

Otherwise looks cool.

[montambro]

Thanks a lot for the advice! I included the 10 man autocannon guys because I had them for my iron warriors as havocs and never painted them. Also figured it would fit with the fluff.

 

But I can adjust and see what works.

 

I like the 2 chaplains in the list. Like post signus campaign, the need for chaplains and discipline within the ranks increased dramatically. Or I assume it would have.

 

A third assault squad would be good as well though. Thanks for the advice!

Happy to help

Some other minor suggestions;

-Increase the Assault squads' sizes to 15 man and grab a third power weapon. Swords>axes in my opinion, just because those shouldn't be fighting Terminators or other elite 2+ armour, and the sergeant can probably take care of the artificer sergeant

-Combat shields on Assault sergeants; that 5++ can save your bacon in the usual sergeant vs sergeant challenges

-Leviathan would probably be better off with a claw instead of the drill when going elite/primarch hunting, as it seems with your grav-flux bombard. If you want to kill armour with it, change the bombard for a cyclonic melta lance

-Lightning will probably only need 2 pairs of 2 missiles. Those 4 will already kill whatever its shooting at and it won't survive the retaliation

As I said, it's already decent list and those are just small twists to make it even better.

[montambro]

I will make some changes and add a new list.

 

What are your thoughts on the terminators?

 

I like the way cataphactii and large axes/ pfists look. I know its not super true to bood angels fluff probably tartaros is more in line. But with an ariel assault already in motion a strong ground force isn't out of the question.

[Spiritual Liege]

Every legion used both armours, so go cataphractii if you like it.

 

Fists are also probably better for smashing other Terminators, instakilling 2w and denying possible FnP. But axes indeed look boss and wound on 2+ with BA rules so go for them if you like.

[montambro]

I am on the fence. I think they would help and do a decent job. If anything just look cool on the table.

 

But without a primarch or a preator. Its still just a chaplain with 1 w terminators riding in an expensive Spartan. its a lot of points to sink into a unit.

 

To bad be don't have sanguinius...
