But as everyone knows at this point, the Archangels Orbital Intervention Force is the most powerful formation in the book, and probably in the top 10 in the game. The rest of the book is a nice boost to BA players, but we're still no eldar or white scars battle company. I think we DO have the capability to field a strong and solid assault army, and here's my first go at it.

Lost Brotherhood Strike Force

-Death Company Chaplain

Death Company Strike Force

No reserve manipulation?


Couldn't find the points for a comms relay or the like. I would really like to have some, but given the choice between teleport homers and reserve manipulation, I went for the homers.

That exact thing is what made the choice between the Intervention Force and Golden Host so difficult. The Orbital Intervention Force is more powerful and durable, and suffers less from having to make disordered charges. But the Golden Host doesn't require a reserve roll and comes with it's own built in deep strike accuracy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8921542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8921542.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force CAD led by Captain Karlaen.

Yeah not a lot of wiggle room trying to get both forces in. I would be pretty afraid to mishap those termies. Maybe drop pods instead of the scouts but again not point wiggle room.

5man scout squad + ccw/bp + melta bombs

Orbital intervention force

5man assault terminator squad + 5x thunder hammer & storm shield

Like this Martel? 10man termies combat squad and get to shoot their bigger pewpews twice on two sepparate targets if able. I know that you're not a big fan of Valour's edge or podded suicide sternguard. 7 sterns with fnp and karlaen is unit to throw at something mid table.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8926074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8926074.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8926102.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8926102.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8927231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8927231.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force
Whether it's realistic or not is beside the point. Like the Maelstrom of Gore Bezerkers formation, there is something cathartic about an army consisting entirely of frenzied madmen. Who needs tactics?

I have to admit that the Lost Brotherhood seems tempting. I remember the Army Of Death from way back when, and the idea of some black-armoured loon with an armourbane Glaive Encarmine cutting a knight's knees off is a pleasing one.

Honestly the tactical applications of free movement are staggering. I'm loving the new book so far.

And yes, there is NO wiggle room in this list, not even enough for the Gilded Crozius. I need 2 more assault terminator squads to finish this list (been proxying with tac termies) which I should have in the next couple weeks.

So from a competitive standpoint, does this list have legs?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928122.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928130.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force

I would cash in 5 terminators for more toys.


Unfortumately, I can't. The formation requires 3 units. This is as bare bones as I can go without cutting death co, which I dont wanna do. The 10 man squad is too good vs death stars.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928152.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force DC dread.


No reserve roll is really scary with this list, but yeah points seem tight.

Perhaps, switch a powerfist to axe on one of the 5 man squads? Give the pod a a beacon so you have more drop locations? Or drop blood talons on the DC dread.

Like I said, I'd love to have it, but given the choice between rerolling reserves and teleport homers, I went with the homers.

Plus I HATE power axes when you have the red thirst, lol.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928235.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928235.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928397.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928456.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force
I went with all 5-man DC squads so I could fit in the Aegis Defense line with Comms relay.

My terminators are also a little different, 1 th&ss, 1 LC, 1 shooty...

Cuz double-tapping an assault-cannon or cycloneML is pretty darn nice; and cuz I love LC's...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928556.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/703370/8928583.page GMT [1850] - Blood Angels - Lost Brotherhood/Intervention Force AGL(for precision shot bonus) and locator beacon and ---> 1 unit snipers with camo cloaks deployed behind Aegis defense line...

Aegis gives 4+ cover, camo cloaks +1, 10th Co AF formation gives another +1 ....they have 2+ cover save shooting sniper rifles, as long as they don't move.
