Bloody Things

So, I've decided to get a Blood Angels army going.

Took me long enough to  figure out which list, and still I'm not 100% sure.

All Jumpers would be awesome. Dante + Sanguinary guard would be sweet. Stelek's "grim toll" Death Company list sounds like fun.


But here's the one I plan to do: the Blood Rodeo, curtesy of Kirby. Basically, it's a mix of Assault Marines and Bikers. Thing is, there's still variations for the list. Here is Kirby's final take on it:
HQ -
Librarian w/Bike, Blood Lance & Sanguine Sword

Librarian w/Bike, Blood Lance & Sanguine Sword

Elites -
5x TH/SS Terminators

2x Sanguinary Priest w/Jump Pack, Lightning Claw

Sanguinary Priest w/Jump Pack

Troops -
10x ASM w/2x meltagun, Power Fist, hand flamer

10x ASM w/2x meltagun, Power Fist, hand flamer

5x ASM w/meltagun, infernous pistol, hand flamer, melta bombs

Fast Attack -
8x Bikes w/2x meltagun, Power Fist, Attack Bike w/MM

8x Bikes w/2x meltagun, Power Fist, Attack Bike w/MM



Contrary to this, here's Stelek's take on it:

2000 Pts - Blood Angels Roster - Bikes and Jump Packs

1 Librarian @ 145 pts (...in Power Armour; Blood Lance; The Sanguine Sword)
   1 ...in Power Armour (Space Marine Bike; Hand Flamer)

1 Librarian @ 145 pts (...in Power Armour; Blood Lance; The Sanguine Sword)
   1 ...in Power Armour (Space Marine Bike; Hand Flamer)

1 Sanguinary Priest @ 200 pts (Sanguinary Priest in Power Armour)
   2 Sanguinary Priest in Power Armour (Jump Pack; Hand Flamer; Lightning Claw)

1 Terminator Assault Squad @ 270 pts (Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield)
   5 Terminators with Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield
   1 Sergeant (Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield)

3 Assault Squad @ 140 pts (Meltagun)
   1 Assault Marine with Meltagun
   1 Sergeant (Melta Bombs; Hand Flamer x1; Infernus Pistol x1)

7 Assault Squad @ 245 pts (Meltagun; Meltagun)
   1 Assault Marine with Meltagun
   1 Assault Marine with Meltagun
   1 Sergeant (Hand Flamer x1; Power Fist x1)

7 Assault Squad @ 245 pts (Meltagun; Meltagun)
   1 Assault Marine with Meltagun
   1 Assault Marine with Meltagun
   1 Sergeant (Hand Flamer x1; Power Fist x1)

7 Bike Squad @ 305 pts (Flamer x1; Meltagun x1; Attack Bike)
   1 Attack Bike (Multi-Melta)
   1 Sergeant (Power Fist)

7 Bike Squad @ 305 pts (Flamer x1; Meltagun x1; Attack Bike)
   1 Attack Bike (Multi-Melta)
   1 Sergeant (Power Fist)

Total Roster Cost: 2000



Changes are minimal at first glance, but I think rather profound in the end. Stelek has a lot more duality going with flamers to soften up hordes, while Kirby has one more FnP bubble. I'll have to hit someone up on Vassal or somesuch (if I can ever figure it out...) to test which I'm more comfortable with.

On a sidenote, I'm not entirely sure on what "recipe" for red I'm going to use. And here I was thinking doing Blood Angels would simplify things.

Signing out again.
