<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track? Anyways here it is:

Dante

x3 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs

x5 Sanguinary Guard, x5 Inferno Pistols, x4 Glaives/x1 Fist
x5 Sanguinary Guard, x3 Inferno Pistols, x2 Angelus Boltguns, x4 Glaives/x1 Fist
x5 Sanguinary Guard, x3 Inferno Pistols, x2 Angelus Boltguns, x4 Glaives/x1 Fist

This comes to 1170pts out of 1250pts. Am I on the right track? I think this would be a good starting place fo larger games, but what do I need to make this....not competitive, so much as playable with a chance? Lol

I appreciate the feedback!

And every squad doesn't need Priest if you play them together. One with Dante and one with rest of them, trying to keep the both squads under the FnP bubble.


Just remember to be careful, use your opportuinites and most importantly, hug that cover like your mother on her birthday!!!

Dante

x2 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
(one with Melta Bombs)

x5 Sanguinary Guards, x3 Inferno Pistols, Power Fist
x5 Sanguinary Guards, Power Fist
x5 Sanguinary Guards, Power Fist
x5 Sanguinary Guards, Power Fist

= 1250

This is what I'd consider but if you don't have the extra five models, your list will do.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292496.page GMT Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track?

This is a great list for 1,250. I would take all power axes on one unit for dedicated AP2, though. You really want at least 20 2+ save bodies at this points level.

I've been playing Sanguinary Guard lists for a while, and there is definitely a steep learning curve. I got tabled my first 4 games, lol. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292825.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track? I thought maybe I was going a little crazy with the wargear haha
Funny to think dropping a bit of that and a priest would net me another squad lol

I guess this is more for the tactics side, but what are some good ways to go with this kind of army as far as objectiv based games go?
One defensive squad, two offensive-go-get-'em squads and the last with Dante deepstrikes at a scary "needs four close range melta shots in the face" target?

What other suggestions or tactics are there?
Thanks!

Don't go defensive. Place your objectives midtable or on either side of the opponents deployment to trick him to spread out so you can take out one part of his army at a time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292871.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6292871.page GMT Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track? CC as early as possible. Against some armies you may even want to start Dante's squad on the board.

When you go to higher point games, you may want to consider some sniper scouts with camo cloaks and an ADL with Quad-Gun. Cheap AA and home objective scoring.

I will always place objectives midtable with this type of force. Make the opponent come out and play ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6293245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6293245.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track?
I totally understand the learning curve, I'm accustomed to playing a little more static and/or defensive armies, aside from Orks, but I know you can't run these small squads around like 30 man Boyz squads! Lol

Is there anything else tactics-wise or tricks to know?

I feel like this could be a very fun army to play as well as the modeling and painting aspects, and very satisfying to win with based on the low model count.

I've always thought about armies like deathwing or ravenwing, or even all wolf guard. This could be the one. And its relatively cheap cash-wise being that I only need four boxes lol

Thanks for the replies!

Its sort of silly, but I'm sure you guys will understand, I'm a little nervous to make the investment based on a lot of the above factors, though I've been playing 40k for 15 years and I definitely like a challenge.

Does anyone know of any bat reps with this style army I could check out?
Thanks!

Also, I'd try proxying a few games.

I had considered a trio of Whirlwinds to sit in the corner and drop pie plates until the winged wonders get into position, but I'm sure there are better ideas lol

BA whirlwind is that you are paying for fast on a tank that will never need it. Try vindis or flamestorm baals to take heavy weapons fire off the guard. Flamestrom baals have great synergy with sang guard.

Hey any opinions on how many axes to go with in each of those squads or just go all swords plus one fist per squad?

Thanks everyone!

I poked at some lists for deathwing (great saves, good range on guns but kinda slow if you don't deep strike or roll in land raiders), ravenwing ( good saves, good firepower, better toughness and maybe even more mobile but way more $$ expensive to fill 1250pts) or even grey knights (this list was crazy, one librarian, six paladins and two squads of five terminators with all upgrades said and done was 1250 haha).
I almost hate to ask, but as far as cash and low body count goes it Dante and the Sanguinary Guard are most efficient. It couldn't be because they aren't as good as these other elite style lists could it? I hate to think it, but because this game isn't cheap, it is something to consider before jumping into gold winged armor lol

Any thoughts on that?

Take them with tank support. This is why I say flamestorm baals have good synergy with them. 1.) The baals distract heavy firepower away from the guard. 2.) They help massively thin out horde. 3.) They can be used to give cover to the guard. 4.) Running alongside the guard means the guard can protect them from assault. 5.) Anyone who wants to get in melta range even for a multimelta needs to get in the guards charge range.
And lastly - scout on an av13 tank with a st 6 ap 3 flamer and 2 st 5 ap 4 flamers or heavy bolters is very nice!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6301376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565456/6301376.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Guard themed 1250pts....on the right track?
I guess what I'm curious about is, despite the learning curve involved with such a small model count army, I guess I need to find out if it's worth the investment. I'm not opposed to a challenge or taking a chance on something new,I guess it's a hard question to answer without actually playing it.

so I guess if any of you guys have any more feedback if there is anything else to say about it I'd be curious to hear it.

thanks for all the feedback so far!
