By popular request I've updated the NetERC Blood Angels army list.


V2.03 Changes:

Changed Assault formation from four to six units, increasing its cost to 275pts.
Returned Bike formation to the Codex standard arrangement.
Fixed Land Speeder Storm typos
Reduced Furisio Firefight from 4+ to 6+
Heavy Support 2x Land Raiders dropped from 200 to 175pts.
Allowed 1-2 Hunters instead of just one per formation.
Increased cost of Land Speeder Storm from +50pts to +100pts.
Changed Death Company Special Rule to make it simpler.


V2.04 changes:

Split Land Raider upgrade up so you can’t take 4 Land Raider Crusaders (And thus gain 4 spare transport slots).
Adopted the EpicUK Death Company rule.
Fixed Furioso Dreadnought typo.
Restricted Hunters back to 1 per formation.




As always, let's get to the testing & debate!

You typed Furiso Dreadnought in the Upgrades section and Furisio Dreadnought in the units datasheet instead of Furioso Dreadnought.

I would give the Baal Predator Ignore Cover onits basic FF-attacke  

I wouldn't force the player to take the oversized Assault Detachment of 6 units. I like to be able to field a standart Battlecompany, thats 4 Assault units, with the option to add 2 or 4 further Assault units from the Reservecompany.

I guess you sticked in the LR Crusader because of the Assaut-Theme of the list?
TRC and i ditche dit from the Salamanders to leave it as the iconic vehicle of the Black Templars in favor of the LR Redeemer which fits the heat and fire style of the Salamanders much more.

IIRC With the LR Crusader Blood Angels Terminators are now the only formation in thegame which can have spare transport space (4 extra transport spaces!)

@Hunters: Why should the Blood Angels have better AA-cover than other Chapters?

And noticed for the first time: No Vindicators? Yes it is slow but it is an assault tank.

But apart from this i like it Particularly the simplified Death Company rules.

Fair enough that could be adopted.

I think it's better than the current rule. I'm partially worried about the Furioso Dread.

if you add LR crusaders as transport upgrade to terminators you can only add 2 because that would use up all the slots?

so yes this need a rewording

but the list is shaping up well

Blood Angels seemingly don't field standardised Battle Companies, what else accounts for their Troops choice Assault Marines in Warhammer 40,000?

I'd prefer the Epic-UK Death Co. too,it's simple and works well.I don't like the "has to assault enemy if in range" as this sets up gamey situations (I know you don't like gamey).

I think the Land Raiders (4 for 250) will be too cheap if it is any 4.If it was 4 normal LR's I think they'd be fine at 600 for them + the Terminators formation but with 4 Crusaders (maybe Redeemers too) that would be a lethal Air Assault/FF support combo.

I agree with B.L. on the Hunters.

The Furioso,I've found,is one of those units that looks too good for it's points but never quite lives up to expectations, I suppose it's a case of keeping an eye on it in reports.

Should the scouts have "plus transport" or is it intentional for them not to have them.

I've found 6 assault marines too expensive at 275 but that is with them not having other upgrades (other than commander)that price will probably be OK though due to upgrade choices they have.

The amount of upgrade choices looks too much across the list. I don't think it will over power the list in any way as a few expensive upgrades to formations will severely limit activations but being able to add Heavy Armour to formations seems to step on the Scions of Irons toes as a variant style.I do like the options of assault and fast attack upgrades for this list though.

Overall a nice looking list.

[tongue in cheek] maybe we should give it a star rating   [/tongue in cheek]

Yup that'll be adopted.

Is that the intention,4 LR's or 2 Crusaders for 250.

I'm rewording it to be:

Land Raider Upgrade
Make two selections from the list below:
2 Land Raiders or Land Raider Redeemers - 125pts
1 Land Raider Crusader - 50pts


Which values each Land Raider type as worth 75pts, assuming the price absorbs a 50pt discount for the Terminator Formation as compensation for their loss of the Teleport Special Rule.
