Problem is that Sanguine Sword isn't nearly as useful as Shield or Unleash Rage. I understand that it's really good, but, it just isn't useful all the time like the others are.

That, and Mephiston is for all your Sanguine Sword needs.

Quote:
Shield of Sanguinius is really useful, as you said. Ok, smoke launchers give you +4, but as long as you have a Librarian, you can keep pulling it out wheras Smoke launchers only go once.
With Smoke Launchers you shouldn't really need to use them more than once. Usually you move after your Deployment into where you really want to be (if you deployed first and your opponent pulls a fast one during his deployment), pop smoke, and then it's Turn 2, where you should be in a decent position to do whatever you want.

Shield is useful for when you jump out of your Rhino and can't Assault, or, just being regular Jump Infantry and staying away from terrain (cover).

Quote:
With a Drop pod, [Death Company] are right where they need to be on turn 1 and with a Librarian present, you stand a chance of keeping them (Shield of Sanguinius is wonderful).
...Huh. Well, I've never thought about putting Death Company in a Drop Pod. Mostly because a unit of 9 with a Librarian is a non-multiple of 5, and a unit of 5+Librarian is just too scary a thought to put in my opponent's DZ. They're just not going to have backup, and/or they wont kill enough things to make it worth Suiciding them.

The other problem (that I see) with that, is that you're using Death Company as your first-turn drop. Y'know, instead of a Dreadnought or Honour Guard. Or just a regular Assault Squad with twin Meltaguns/Flamers.

Quote:
Generally speaking, if you want to hold down the number of Death Company in an army but want more Talon action (and who doesn't) then these boys are the way to go. They're a bit more fiddly as you can't fleet, but they also can't be manipulated through Rage.
Didn't I already say you should take as many Furiosos as you can? At least two in every single army, ever? And only upgrade (is it really?) to a Librarian Dread if you're not using one as your HQ.

1. Death Company Tycho isn't an Independent Character. He can't even join the squad he's supposed to be a part of. Drop him for a Librarian Dread.

2. The Priest does absolutely nothing for Death Company - as I pointed out earlier. The only thing it does is give Furious Charge to Astorath and the Chaplains. Feel No Pain they don't need because they're an Independent Characters, and that means they don't get shot at, and all their Wounds in Assault are dealt by Power Weapons. And Furious Charge isn't that important because if a Chaplain in a Death Company, he gets to re-roll To Wound as well. Drop the Priest.

3. Corbulo. Wow. A more expensive Priest to do nothing with. Excellent. Between the two Priests, you've nearly got yourself a Stormraven!

4. Why does the Chaplain have a Power Fist? My brain! I found points to fit a Stormraven!

5. Seven Death Company in a Rhino!? Not 5, not 10. Seven. Now, ordinarily, seven models in a unit is very cost-effective (it's a numbers thing). But, on Fearless units, it doesn't matter how many are in the unit, and Death Company specifically have bonuses at multiples of 5. More weapons and more Dreads. I think what annoys me most is the fact that there's no Power Fists.

6. The second squad of Death Company; Somebody never learned their Tactical Sergeant theory. Power Fist and Boltgun. That's how you roll. You're not getting the bonus attack anyway. Besides, Death Company are Relentless, there's no reason for them to not have Boltguns. I know, I know...It's a showcase army. It's supposed to be Themed. That doesn't mean it has to be bad. In fact, that's what I'm trying to prove!
...Incidentally, this squad is missing from the photo.

7. If you're taking Lemartes, you can drop one of the Chaplains since he is one. More free points! However, fun aside, In regards to Hand Flamers and other Pistols, Lemartes is a 'model' in the squad. But, for the purposes of buying DC Dreads, he is not a Death Company model. RAW is funny sometimes.

8. The fourth squad is utterly superfluous, they could be completely dropped for a Stormraven, or you can drop the Jump Packs and round out that squad of seven that you have.

I like this list. I really, really do. At least, I like the idea of the list. That's why I fully support it and wrote it into a Guide for Newbies because I want them to know about it. It's a really fun and effective list. What You Like == What Is Good! Hooray!
Unfortunately, I just know how to do it properly.

I have as far back as Siege of Vraks, since I was told not to get IA-IV. But, I can get access to it. I also have WH40K-Apocalypse and Apocalypse Reload since they are readily available in a GW Store.

So, don't get IA Apocalypse books?

On a side-note, Zorg, I went to CT to see if you had any reviews on the older IA books, instead I found a Mass Effect team. I'm so jelly.

I want to like Mephiston, really I do, but he's 250 points and that's my third gunship.

Absolutely true. I will grant that what I'm about to say is entirely situational and this is the only way it ever affects me. Stormravens, if you want to shoot all the guns, cannot pull this off. They have no smoke launchers, are huge models and are on flying stands. You can go fast, but that removes the ability to shoot most of the guns and get out. Shield of Sanguinius means you can go slow and shoot / get out and still have a chance of deflecting shots that are aimed at the squad, gunship or anyone else friendly within 6 inches. Situational and a single example, but it gives the gunship cover where normally there would be none.

I was experimenting that day and the Death Company was what was rolling with my Librarian (Dreadnoughts, scouts and gunships were the rest and nothing else was dropping and I wanted my psychic hood in my opponents DZ) and went not for the most expensive points targets but the ones that would do me the most good. With my opponant in a load of terrain, I could land unimpeded and hit him second turn. It was surprisingly effective and was the one move I can put my hand on my heart and say that it won me the game against what would appear to be my local areas equivalent of you, ie the man who has been playing for years, knows the codexes and most of the tricks inside out and is really difficult to beat. Of course, you know who the world's best swordsman fears, of course...

I wasn't actually trying to disagree with you here. I was making a bit of a supplement to show that the splendid talons are completely available even without the Death Company. I've heard people declare that ordinary talon furiosos aren't as good as DC Dreads so I figured I'd run a little side by side comparison. Reading back, that wasn't too clear for which I apologise, but yeah, I wasn't saying you were wrong here, I was adding to it. If you're not taking more than 3 Sanguinary priests (which would, perhaps, be overkill) then the DN is one of the best ideas.

They are? Because as far as I can tell, Reload is out of print; it's not even listed in the catalog or on their website.

You've mentioned Vanguard using Descent of Angels before, and either you are sadly mistaken or my codex is misprinted. According to the codex I have, Vanguard Veterans get ATSKNF, Combat Squads, The Red Thirst, and Heroic Intervention, but NOT DoA. I've also checked the FAQ for Blood Angels, and did not find anything about it mentioned (though I could have missed it).

That being said, I'm well aware Vanguard can be devastating with lucky rolls and what-not. It's just, without DoA, you're relying on luck a little more than some people are comfortable with.

Yeah. I tried to order it through my gaming store several months ago, with no luck. When the store owner said there was no such book I was convinced he must have missed something and went to look myself, but no, it's not listed in their publications and doesn't appear in the 2010 Citadel catalog. I had to rely on a copy our opponent owned in my first Apocalypse game.

Were you in North America I'd totally ask if you'd grab me one if I mailed you a check for it plus the shipping, but I'm not about to jump for trans-Pacific shipping costs.

Well, whatever! Too late to change it now, so I'll just have to make the best of it. I'm not strictly incompetent, and my scatter die seems to love me, so as long as I model my Vanguard to be total BAMFs, I shouldn't have any trouble, since as you said before, awesome models play better. If they and my Sanguinary Guard unit (which I'm using in my 'Ard Boyz list, unless I chicken out and fall back on sniper scouts, or something) come out nice, I'll make sure to post pictures. (I've said that before...I should probably actually do it this time.)

Read the Jump Pack rules. Any unit that equips a jump pack gains DoA. Vanguard don't start with it in their profile because they don't start with jump packs.

Thank you, Tren. You've saved us all. I knew Blood Angels couldn't screw themselves out of the best DoA unit in the 'dex.

Nothing but a group of Genestealers, my Trygon, and scattered bits of soldiers remained by turn 3. The exorcists one shotted my entire squad of warriors, instant deathing them all, and since they were my only Synapse creature in the game (Besides my Trygon Prime who was in reserves to deepstrike) so you can obviously guess how the rest of the game spiraled downwards from there. I managed to insta kill the exorcist tanks though on the turn my Trygon came, but he got stopped by a squad of sisters with cannoness who were getting faith points funneled into them to tie up combat.

Still, I'll look out for it so I know how to properly get around them.

Also I'm prepping to get into Apocolypse (And maybe try making an apocolypse game).
Ooohhh.. Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I don't fight 'nids much, but I can see how that list you fought can be pretty mean towards 'em. I've been running something similar.

New Sisters stuff, from what's been released so far, is... Eeehhh.. Let's just say I'm hesitant to call it a buff. I'm just hoping their wargear and stuff is sweet. (CELESTINE, Y YOU HAVE BS 7 AND NO WINGS OF FAITH?! )

IA: Apocalypse is good and has loads of unique stuff.

IA: Apoc 2 has loads of duplicates - mostly from the Vraks series and Armour of Gork (or possibly Mork).
If you're feeling like squinting a bit you can see the contents here.


IA4 has one of the best stories in any of the books (save Badab 1) IMO, so is great from that perspective, but rules wise it's superceded.
IA3 has the Tau stuff, but is weak story-wise.

I didn't review the older books as there's not as much in them to cover, rules have changed and they've all been out for a while.
Mentioning those minis reminds me I haven't uploaded pics of them finished yet - been too busy writing my game for them

I'd think that a unit with BS 7 doesn't need much other then a good weapon.

Also where can I see the info that you're getting? I'm interested in seeing some of the sisters stuff.

The thing is, she DOESN'T HAVE A GUN!

It's in the newest white dwarf.. I've only looked through it at my FLGS, but you might be able to find scans easy enough.

She does- her sword is a shooting template weapon.

It's more glaring for the BS9 Lelith Hesperax- but in Planetstrike a character with no gun can still man one of the turrets.

Wait, what?

Why bother writing a BS for a unit that doesn't have a gun? Thats like writing a BS for Hormagaunts.

Now to look for a scan.

Still I mean, it can't be all bad........right?

Edit: Wait, do you even need a BS for a template weapon?

Yes. It reduces scatter distance.

Template in this context means flamer-type, rather than Blast or Large Blast- those ones apparently don't make use of BS.

However, the aforementioned turrets still would benefit from her BS.

Wait, is she getting a regular heavy flamer, or a pyrovore heavy flamer launcher? That makes a huge difference. If it's just a heavy flamer, her BS is irrelevant. If she fires some kind of...scattering heavy flamer...thing, then it's really useful.

Yeah.. If anything, I hope she can at least throw that damn bird. You have no idea how much I detest that thing. Why is she holding a bird, of all things?! I mean, I know she's surrounded by them in her art, but.. Really? You're taking a random dove with you into battle?

I replaced mine with a shield. >>;

It's for grand entrances. It's likely she has seen this. (specifically around the 2:20ish mark)

Finally got to play a game of 40k this week! This game was with the gentleman who happened to wreck poor Renegade Paladin last week, as well as having scored a respectable second place at our most recent in-store tournament. I was looking forward to a tough match!

The game ended up being 2500 points of Space Wolves versus Ultramarines. I brought battle missions along to shake things up, but we ended up just going for a random mission out of the BRB. Table quarters, seize ground, 5 objectives.


Beardies vs. Baldies!

Is it the Double Headed Aquila? If so then how is it bad?

Whining about overpowered Space Wolves the whole time too, I might add. I didn't pay attention for the whole game; did he try to lie about cover rules to you too?

I know it is an upcoming Warhammer mini rather than 40K but I just noticed something amusing in latest WD and GW website. The alternate head at the top left of the Cairn Wraith picture
