---Angel's Blade---
CORE
- Chaplain w/ JP
- Furioso w/ Frag Cannon and Heavy Flamer (though Melta might be handy) in a pod
- Dread w/ Multi-Melta, Fist and Heavy Flamer in a pod
- 10x Tac marines w/ Heavy Flamer, Flamer in a pod
- 10x Tac marines w/ Heavy Flamer, Flamer in a pod
- 10x Tac marines w/ Multi-Melta, Melta in a pod
- 10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Flamer, Combi-flamer, JP's
- 5x Devastators w/ 2x Grav Cannons in a pod
AUGILERY
- 5x Bikes w/ 2x Grav Guns, Combi-Grav

6 drop pods is kind of annoying, I'd rather maybe 5. But it's all kinda necessary. Also, having only the Assault Squad and bikes on the table is a bit rough. They'll get obliterated instantly haha.
Anyway, I like the idea of the chapter tactics and basically working like any other marine chapter, but I can assault if needed. And when my dudes get knocked down to under half Str they are next to fearless and even better on the charge. I also took the Assault marines over another squad of bikes because I really like the look of assault squads. They might also work alright as either a counter charge unit or a distraction perhaps. And with all the Flamer capability they wouldn't do too badly against hordes.
What do you guys think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8915764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8915764.page GMT
I feel I'd rather have the mandatory normal dread w rifleman loadout sitting near the devs for a firebase, but you can swap back in the CC/DP loadout within the points if you want 5 pods instead of 4.

Let the full-flamer tacs and the furioso tackle hordes, as melta ASM can annoy a lot of things.

So something like:

++ Command (152) ++
Leaders of the Angelic Host
- Sanguinary Priest w JP, additional weapon
Leaders of the Angelic Host
- Sanguinary Priest w JP, additional weapon

++ Core (1120) ++
Battle Demi Company
- Chaplain w JP
- Furioso w Frag Cannon, HF + DP
- 10 Tacs w HF, F + DP
- 10 Tacs w HF, F + DP
- 5 Tacs w HF (or MM) + DP
- 5 Devs w 5x ML
- Dreadnought w 2x TL AC
- 5 ASM w JP, 2x MG

++ Aux (210) ++
Rapid Assault Force
- 5 ASM w JP, 2x MG
- 5 ASM w JP, 2x MG

1482

Priests and Chaplain each join an assault squad to spread the threat a little. You end up a few marines down overall but I think they bring more decent guns to the table.

I, er, can't stand bikers so have no real take on their worth.

I don't know much about drop podding Devs either, I'm afraid - I like that we have grav cannons now, but would probably only use them with the Lucifer formation scouting bonus.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8917139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8917139.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8918720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703115/8918720.page GMT
