Blood Angels 1850 Lists

[wittdooley]

So upon seeing the new BA dex, I came up with a flavorful & fluffy list. I really don't think it can be super competetive, but here it is:

The Blood Host

HQ
Dante
Sanguinor

Elite
Sang Priests (x2)
+ Jump Pack

Troops
Sang Guard
+Infernus
Sang Guard
+Infernus
Assault (x5)
+ Infernus Pistol, +PW
Assault (x5)
+ Infernus Pistol, +PW

Fast Attack
Storm Raven
+ MM
Storm Raven
+MM

Baal Pred



Run Dante + Sanguinor with Sang Guard w/ Sang Priests, making them pretty survivable. Deep Strike them in. Assault dudes in Storm Ravens. Baal... well, honestly, I don't know doing what. Trying to kill something, I guess. Again, only 24 models & 3 Vehicles. Can't imagine it'd be too terribly competetive.

Thoughts?

BTW--Looks like a max 30 unit of Death Co w/ Jump Packs will set you back 1050. Holy Crap.

As I said in the other thread, this list will likely be a glass cannon. But it will be one beautiful glass cannon!

Also, I would trade the Baal for a Speeder or MM attack bike

P.S.- Remmeber to not post point costs until after the codex "comes out"

[wittdooley]

Wasn't sure about that. I'll delete them. I invite anyone else to post potential lists here, as well!

One thing you may have overlooked. "The Sanguinator" (and Mephiston for that matter) are not Independent Characters. Thus, they cannot join units and have to run on their own. I am assuming this was not an oversight by GW as when you read each of their codex entries they present them as solo. One is too dark and foreboding a loner to hang with his mates and the other is too high and holy to be in their presence! Just something to think about with these two most expensive of HQ options - the enemy can target them if he can see them!!!

Actually didn't know that about Sanguinor until just now. It'll still be a pretty list Plus I'll have him in reserve, dropping from the sky like a winged turd.

I like this list alot actually reminds me of when I tried to run a Grimnar-wing list.

See, I'm all about fluff. I like to win, but I'm okay if I have a lot of fun trying out fluffy armies.

[Shagrath]

Well it wasn't a terribly effective list just fun. I agree about fluff whole heartily.

I knew that Mephiston wasn't a IC, but I thought Sanguinor was.

I am also surprised that none of the lists I have seen so far have any of the mainline battle tanks.

All tanks, except for land raiders, are FAST. Vindicators and Predators too!

A Predator Annihilator being able to reposition and still fire everything! A vindicator being able to charge forward 12" and fire!!
