HI i'm putting this 2,000pt DoA list together & my local GW is doing a instore planetary empires campaign set @ 750pts i know i should field something else but want to use this to start getting used to the army so i know how it works when i get the full 2,000pts going & also i have no wish to invest in anymore models than i have to here is the full 2,000pts


HQ - Dante
HQ - Sanguinor

EL - 3 Priests, 3 Jump Packs, 3 Power weapons

TR - 5 Sanguinary Guard, 2 infernus pistols, powerfist
TR - 5 Sanguinary Guard, 2 infernus pistols, powerfist
TR - 5 Sanguinary Guard, 2 plasma pistols
TR - 5 Sanguinary Guard, 2 plasma pistols
TR - 5 assault marines, meltagun, Sarge w/ power weapon, infernus pistol

FA - Land speeder tornado, assault cannon, hvy bolter
FA - Land speeder tornado, assualt cannon, multi melta

now i know both HQ's will need to go but i want 1 squad at least of the sang guard left in & 1 sang priest i'm not sure what else to use i've written about 6 lists now & i'm not totally happy with any of them so i'm asking you lot as there always seems to be someone on here that can answer these questions

My suggestion would be to just run straight Assult Squads with Priests. At 750 points your really going to suffer from a lack of bodies if you go with the Guard.

I like your list as Sanguinor will make your only serg into a miniature hq. I would use all infernus pistols, plasma pistols will not help you with anti-tank.

I would get rid of the land speeders, you do not have any other vehicles and with the amount of anti-tank people bring these days they will die quickly.

With the points you get from that I would make the assault marine squad full and add another meltagun. I would remove the infernus pistol from the serg and buy a baal predator with flamestorm cannon, and outflank with it.

I agree with Catypelius for lower point games.

I only really put the apeeders in because i'm damn good at using them & most of the people i play against know this so will direct fire against them leaving my sang guard alone even if it's just 1 turm i was gonna DS them with everything else drop them behind a tank & bang & if they don't take the bait then i'll punish them with 'em like i always do think ya right on the assualt squads though

And you think what the sanguinor does is good imagine what him & dante will do to a HQ if they double team it hehe Abaddon your going down


If i was gonna drop the speeders i was really tempted to get a vanguard squad in there just to help out if the rest gets bogged down but there so pricey not sure about the baal to be true if i was gonna have a tank i'd just field assualt squads in APC's & ditch the DoA theme but want something different i'm used to playing an iron warriors grand company with 19 models with 2=/5= saves some marines & 2 DP's
