Whats gonna put Blood Angels on top again?

In the a couple recent games of 40k at my local store latley, ive noticed that my list I run has been lacking punch. Now I admit Im using a netlist, but I only use it against people who are running similar type of list. I want to know whats the next great list. Sure this list is good but it was made before the grey knights came out. Now some people I know are coming up with the dumb coteaz list with a bunch of death cult assasins. How do you combat this. I feel that there is a hidden gem left still some where in the Blood angels codex. That there some uber combo or somthing left that the blood angels can pull of that will crush all others. The question is will it be enough to be on top even when the necrons debut their new things. Im gonna look and anyalize my BA codex, post a comment and let me know what you guys think.

Cheers, will

New Blood Angels List

This is a new list that I have been working on for tournament play. Haveent gotten into the point cost yet just a rough idea.

Astroth



4 3 man death company squads in razorbacks with assult cannons

1 or 2 assult squad in a razorback with either a assult cannon or las plas

and then a storm raven or two.

Over all its alot of shots coming first turn and thanks to being fast most deployment types means they should be in range. While i only have two scoring units, hopefully people wont shoot at them and be tempted to shoot all the units of death company.

Cheers, Will

Grey knights, one codex to rule them all!

Yesterday I went down to my local gw for round two of a 2500pt 40k tournament (more on that another post) and black box has just arrived. What was in it was the grey knights codex and some cool plastic kits.  After looking at all the pretty minuratues, I grabbed the codex and sat down to read what matt ward's most recent work. What I found was a deathwing army on crack!. First off my favorite HQ in the book (he woops mephiston) Supreme grand master Lord Dragio. coming in at 275 points , ws 7, bs5, s5 t5, w4, i5 a 4 0r 5, ld 10, sv 2+. Eterenal warrior, and all the other good grey knight special rules. He allows paladins to be taken as troop choices. Paladens are two wound terminators with a 4+ invunrable save, and one may be upgraded to an apothacary giving the unit feel no pain! If that is broken I dont know what is. Im not saying that it is the codex that is going to steam roll every tournament, but 15 paladens and lord Dragio with some minor upgrades is around 1300 pts. That may not be many models but they are almost impossible to kill. Yea but there foot slonging and ill just shoot them to death, big deal you might kill one or two the most. The grey knight in my opion is still a very elite army, however they can pull it off. So that is my take on the grey knights, Ill be doing a small army of them(and by small I mean all paladens at 2000 pts !). Leave in the comments what you think of the new dex and the preety new plastic kits to go along with it. Have we found a end all be all HQ in the universe of 40k.

Pictures coming soon.

I going to be tryin on getting a camera soon and put up some pics of recently painted models, and also of a 30,000 point apoc game I recently attended. We have also had several new members join the iron helms club. We will hopefully be attending games day in chicago and running our first club table. If your intrested in coming down to gamesday, we will be giving out some loot, and runing a special blood angels themed game. Within the next couple days i will be working on some painting tutorials.

cheers, Will

The Ultramarines, almost Finished!

So my most recent army I decided to do was the Ultramarines 2nd company. I started this army a few months ago. So recently I finally decided to finish painting them. I kept on getting back into my Blood angels (my favorite army) , who now stand at around 9000 points and about 4500 of that painted. So I will have pics of the completed army soon.

On another note, I will soon be showing off my new airbrush with a recent drop pod I have done, and also 3 predators that I will be using the airbrush on also.

Cheers! ,Will
