He’s armed with the Sword of Secrets, his armour is known as The Protector, and he’s followed everywhere by one of Caliban’s mysterious creatures, known as a Watcher in the Dark, who carries his venerable helm, the Lion Helm. If you want to face off against another Combat Patrol box you can usethe Combat Patrol rules. These are a little simpler compared to the rules in the Dark Angels Index, with different enhancements and stratagems to make this list balanced against the other boxes. My use of them has turned from my lynchpin monsters to some kind of a hybrid midfield threat/ deepstrike mind game. 5 man is underwhelming for the points, and I'm worried that when at ten they'll be able to make use of the Apothecary/Ancient, but at nearly a quarter of your points will still be underwhelming.

Apothecary : don't ike this option cause it makes you lose 2PF A and can be easily replace by a non challenging standard Bearer with SoFortitude. Characters are all priced to move, so we think you’ll want to squeeze lots of them into your units. For the red details, use a bright red color like Evil Sunz Scarlet or Mephiston Red. Carefully apply the red paint to the designated areas on the model. Use thin coats to achieve a smooth and even finish. Finally, the Dark Angels have recently been joined by a leonine celebrity from days of yore. Yep, it’s Lion El’Jonson. If you missed out on the Lion and Retinue box, you won’t have long until the Lord of the First gets a solo release. We had hoped he would make his individual debut before the new edition came out. However, we also wanted to ensure enough had been made to fulfil demand for such an incredible model. We’re making more, and we will therefore be putting him up for sale as one of the first Warhammer 40,000 miniatures released after Leviathan drops.For the rest of the squad probably no more than 1 TH/SS for wound allocation shenanigans and 0-3 LC's (have the models incase your match up is paper thin infantry). I get the sense the PFs will just outperform everything else. The Lion’s sons had to fight without him at first, as their gene-sire was scattered across the galaxy by the machinations of Chaos. He landed on the planet Caliban, deep in the monster-blighted woods. There he grew into his full form with unnatural speed, until he was discovered by the noble knight Luther. There’s two very different stories for the Blood Angels’ archetypal flying melee squads. Flying Death Company come in at a very cost-effective 155 for 5/310 for 10 – 31ppm sounds like a lot, but they still have their diverse range of gear so you can give them a lot of equipment for that price. Sanguinary Guard on the other hand are 43ppm – a full unit is 430pts! – and one of their two defensive abilities only works if the Warlord is attached to them. If you’re taking them at all then yeah sure you are going to do that – but you might not want a second squad of them at that cost with that limitation. The gear thing is a slightly different consideration on them, too, because you can throw inferno pistols all over the place, but it’s not like the weapons cost before (except the power fist – which now is 1 per 5). These could have probably been fine at 40ppm instead of 43 – or maybe I am just being a downer, who knows? The Deathwatch utilise a range of specialised bolt shells in many of their weapons. From rounds that douse their targets in acid to hollow shells filled with superheated gas, each type is designed to eliminate specific xenos foes.Each time a unit is selected to shoot, if it contains any models that are equipped with a weapon with this ability, then before you select any targets, each weapon with this ability can fire special-issue ammunition. If any do, select one of the ammunition types below for that weapon; until the end of the phase, each time that weapon is fired, apply the modifiers and abilities associated with that special-issue ammunition: Edit: Also as far as Unit composition - it looks like its minimum 5 - all three specialists, plus 2-7 which is probably why we don't see anything about upgrade one to an Apothecary/Ancient/etc.

As the warring armies close upon one another and vicious firefights erupt, the Codex lays out strategies for swiftly seizing the initiative and combining versatility with firepower.While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Rapid Fire and Assault weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1. This kit contains 102 components, a Space Marines Transfer Sheet, five 40mm round bases, and one 25mm round base with which to make a Deathwing Command Squad, Deathwing Knights or five Deathwing Terminators. Deathwing Terminator Squad Those who enter the Deathwing may suppose they have learned all there is to know of the Dark Angels' shadowed past, but they have merely entered the first ring of the clandestine organisation known as the Inner Circle. There remain circles within circles, and veterans of the company have learned still more of their history; these warriors are given the title of Deathwing Knights, and their noble fury in battle and dedication to the Chapter is the stuff of legend. The bulk of the 1st Company is composed of Terminator Squads, indefatigable warriors who blast apart their enemies with storm bolters while advancing into assault range Gladiator Lancer (145), Storm Speeder Hailstrike (120), Land Speeder (80) This combo is wildly effective and cheap.Well, my bad on the cost their, wasn't looking at the codex directly. Also where does it state that Ap2 only strike last when of high strength. Power axes are Ap2, and all they provide is a +1 str bonus. They still strike last. Powerfists, chain fists, and thunderhammers are also all AP2, and they double str, and strike last. Their are a few, and i do mean a few exceptions where an AP2 weapon will strike at initiative, and they are maybe a few special characters, and I don't recall many except for sammaels sword, and the champions weapon. I haven't looked through most of the other codex's recently to see any ap2 weapons that do strike at initative but even still they are rare. High Strength does't mean it has to strike last, it just happens to be that most of the weapons that give high strength do strike last, and they happen to be ap2, because of the fact that they are high str.
