So myself and Jawaballs have been asking the question- Blood Angels, something more? What I mean by that is look at the current state of the space vampires in 40K- sure razorspam works, tri-dakka preds, etc. but is this really the “best” that they can do? I should also perhaps define best.
There is no disputing these lists that can be played by the three marine ‘dexes are strong, but they are generic in how they approach the game- reducing it to pure mathhammer. The fact that all three codexes can build the list with more or less the same results proves this. But again is this best?
I think the best list for a codex (my definition) is one that is built on a strong principal, but also uses the inherent codex rules and abuses to leverage the army in such a way that if you don’t see it coming it is going to lay waste to you- and it should be something that isn’t easy to see. In the BA .PDF days I watched Jawaballs destroy baby seals and Leet/WAAC players and left right with his furioso drop pod list. We want to get back to this, capture, mine, refine and put down on the table this essence for Blood Angels, AND it seems like the “community” for the most party has stopped looking at the BA ‘dex since the “best of” it has already been published on the net/netlists.
What is the list?
Don’t know yet.
Still playing around with some stuff, I’m mainly cannon fodder and feedback in the process for JB, but this is why having a bud/teammate in 40K is key- someone you can try stuff out on, and not have to worry about hurt feelings or ego.
What we have been playing with is a dual hammer list.
6 furioso with Mepheston running up the table, backed by sixty assault marines. We are also working on an alternate to replace Mepheston since certain tourneys have banned him, but he is a keystone in the list.
More to come, and I’m sure more to come on JB’s blog.
Hopefully he will be set to lay the hurt at Mechanicon next month.
