I am most likely going to run a Blood Angels Captain. Reason being is I currently have no librarians and only have a Sang Priest. So I am going to lot bash a captain together.

This is the current load out I thinking.

Artificer Armor
Storm Shield
Valours Edge
Jump Pack
Bolt Pistol
Bolter

Then either toss him in the following units.

Sang. Guard w/ Priest
Comman Squad w/ 3x Melta/Stormshield Vets

What do you think? Should I change the Captain loadout?

I go bike, power fist, storm shield, veritas vitae, auspex, combi-grav, digital weapon, artificer armor.

I'm guessing you go bike so you don't get instant death by Str 8?

Yup. And he's in a squad with majority toughness 5 to boot. And they get 12 grav shots before they assault an MC.

The only jump captain I'd use is Dante. Dante + honor guard w/3 meltagun 3 storm shield is pretty good. They can hit and run and keep shooting melta over and over and charging over and over.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, what do Valour's Edge and Veritas Vitae do?

Veritas vitae gives you an extra strategic trait and valour's edge is an AP2 power sword. I don't like valor's edge because it perform poorly vs MCs and walkers.

Yea that seems like a legit argument. If only I owned bikes lol. I feel like Plasma or Melta might work better for my group. AdMech, Tau and Necrons.

Probably get some Dark Vengeance bikes and fix em up. I have some blood angels tactical squad bodies left.

I got a bunch of bikes off ebay from the DA box set, cut off the wings, and painted them red. I got some 3rd party grav guns and I was set.
