I'm doing the Independent Characters 2013 Hobby Progress Challenge, for which I need to decide on a 1850 list and paint it, at least one unit per month, by the end of November. There's the potential for a prize involved, and it will be fun. The question is, which of the following 1850 Blood Angels w/Sisters of Battle allies lists should I focus on?
Questions and comments welcome, of course - you don't have to just vote on your favorite list. You can help me come up with a whole new, different list!
List One
You've seen this list in previous posts. It's pretty basic, with lots of options to hold objectives, and sisters to provide fire support.
HQ
• Librarian w/Jump Packs, Meltabombs
• Reclusiarch w/Jump Packs, Meltabombs
Elites
• Sanguinary Priest w/Jump Packs, Meltabombs
Troops
• 10 Assault Marines w/Jump Packs (2 Plasma Guns), Power Fist Sergeant
• 10 Death Company w/Jump Packs (2 Hand Flamers, 1 Power Fist)
Fast Attack
• Baal Predator w/Heavy Bolters, Dozer Blade
HQ
• Canoness w/Pistols & Power Sword, Rosarius
Troops
• 10 Battle Sisters (2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis) in a Rhino w/Dozer Blade
• 10 Battle Sisters (2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis) in a Rhino w/Dozer Blade
Fast Attack
• 5 Dominions (2 Meltaguns) in an Immolator w/Dozer Blade, Multi-Meltas
List Two
This one is a little odder. It would be very striking on the table top - all shiny metallic models - but features a lower model count, as well as pouring points into Dante, who is frequently referred to as "over-priced." Still, it lets me do away with the assault marines in favor of a lot of flying terminators.
HQ
• Commander Dante
Elites
• 2 Sanguinary Priests w/Jump Packs
Troops
• Sanguinary Guard (2 Infernus Pistols, 1 Power Fist, Chapter Banner)
• Sanguinary Guard (2 Infernus Pistols, 1 Power Fist)
Fast Attack
• Baal Predator w/Heavy Bolters, Dozer Blade
HQ
• Canoness w/Pistols & Power Sword, Rosarius
Troops
• 10 Battle Sisters (2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis) in a Rhino w/Dozer Blade
• 10 Battle Sisters (2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis) in a Rhino w/Dozer Blade
Fast Attack
• 5 Dominions (2 Meltaguns) in an Immolator w/Dozer Blade, Multi-Meltas
Heavy Support
• Exorcist w/Dozer Blade
List Three
This one is an effort to fit in that last Sisters of Battle dirty trick - Saint Celestine - as well as up the model count a little.
HQ
• Commander Dante
