Blood Angels Codex for Pre-heresy Armies

After having a good look at the blood angels, I am tempted to use the rules for a bezerker army. Then how do I find rules for my thousand sons characters and troops? Well I have been seeing quite a few pre-heresy armies using the blood angels rules already but as I want to include some other cult troops I am thinking of using the rules for an inquisitor and retinue as a pre-heresy option for the army to field my Thousand Sons Sorceror with his retinue or I could always just field my thousand sons troops as normal tactical squads, but that wouldn’t be as much fun.

I am more tempted by using my thousand sons terminators as grey knights, with the squads flame weapon basically being the equivalent of a psychic power on normal tzeentch aspiring champions in a squad. But with scuttlebutt being one of the chaos forces is to see some attention soon (in the next year or so) after the Inquisition forces, so I may just finish off my huge standard marine army and update my genestealer cult force to work within the latest ruleset better.

After seeing some Blood Angel Chaplain Dreads from Forgeworld I am thinking I should put together a heavy flamer dread with the redeemer flame cannon arm and leave it as a counts as weapon until future rules updates allow for it in a normal army.

With the release of the new Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2 I will have to check it out and see if I can find some interesting units to add to my collection for any big battles I play in the future.

Now that I have had a quick game or two with the BA book, I am thinking running my pre-heresy thousand sons as BA is a great option as the ability to take librarian dreads and powerful psykers along with dead hard troopers can make for some interesting games. The plan was to use the death company as a counts as chosen unit. Simply leaving out some options from the list in my pre-heresy army will allow me to run it in a way that doesn’t become too far off from the history of the Thousand Sons.

Update: Space Hulk is no longer up for sale!

 

Space hulk box

As I posted recently on the warseer forums, I have decided to sell off some of my pile of gaming stuff that is not used as much as others are.

As you can see from the pictures, packed into the 1st edition box of Space Hulk is not only the 1st edition components, but also the 2nd edition components, along with the two expansions for the 1st edition of Deathwing and Genestealer. There are no miniatures, and from the weight you need to be aware that it will be expensive to ship overseas. Pickup can be arranged from Sydney, or shipped if you so desire. The pieces are all in very good condition.

Make a reasonable offer.

This has now sold.
