Blood Angels-Gerüchte

From B&C, From Dakka:

"The local GW has a copy of the rules and has been showing them off. Most of the rumours are true, with a few minor differences. One thing that stood out in particular was how over the top Mephiston was - WS - 6, S - 5, T - 5,I - 6, Feel no Pain, and can cast all 3 Powers and use his Force Weapon in one turn (Jump, +D3 Attacks, Force Weapon...)

When I got my grubby hands on the list, I tried finding a way to max out Death Company as cheaply as possible (while building a decent all rounded list,), but it's pretty hard without paying the "full" cost. For example, a Tactical squad costs 115pts for the Veteran Sergeant and 4 Marines, and the extra 25pts nets you one Death Company (getting the extra Combat squad still only costs 90pts.) Whereas Assault Marines costs 140pts for the Veteran Sergeant and 4 Marines, and the extra 15 pts nets you one Death Company. You can add Death Company without buying squads, but then they cost 30pts a model. Interestingly, Blood Angel Terminators have the same stats and options as Deathwing (without mixing weapons, Fearless, and Deathwing assault,) costs 200pts, and still net you a Death Company as well (so arguably, the Death Company is FREE.)

Overall, I am pretty happy with the list, and as gross as Death Company are (they get Furious Charge built in, BTW,) it's pretty tough to max them out and have enough points for lots of shooty guns and/or support assault units. "


According to this poster:
1) Combat Squads 100%
2) BA Libby only has 2 powers
3) New system for generating DC
4) Assault squads are a good way to generate DC
5) Termies only get 1 heavy weapon (AC cost 30 points), fearless, and generate you a no/low cost DC
6) No more "free" furious charge
7) Mephiston kicks arse!

Du kannst mit 100 nicht umgehen Glaubst du kannst es dann mit 150 ?

ZITAT
I'll answer as many questions as possible:

I was slightly wrong about the "Wings of Sanguinius" psychic power - at the last bit I said if you have a jumppack, it let's you turboboost - it's actually: if you have a bike, it lets you count as a jetbike.

Koyote: I believe the Veteran Assault Marines were Elites, so that leaves Bikes, Attack Bikes, and Landspeeders as Fast Attack. Landspeeders are 1-3, pay the same points as Dark Angels, but you can have up to two Tornadoes in a squad.

Red Thirst: Like I said earlier, Mephiston is a pig - WS-6, BS-5, S-5, T-5, A-4, I-6, Ld-10, Sv - 2+ can cast all three powers AND use his Force Weapon, no invulnerable but has Feel no Pain

There was no wargear section, the article had the same layout as the Dark Angels codex.

Dante was kinda cool, same stats as a Dark Angels master pretty much with WS-6 and A-4 - he has a Melta Gun that counts as a pistol in close combat (so it's not a Fusion/Inferno pistol) and his Inspiring Presence rule allows all friendly units within 12" get Preffered Enemy versus their opponent.

Corbulo's Grail allows all friendly units within 6" to get Furious Assault. No Power Weapon though, and costed 100pts.

Tycho sill sucks. Still no Power Weapon, lost his digi-lasers, but has Preffered Enemy Orks (when would THAT ever come in handy?!)

Lemartes is pretty much a stock Chaplain - his Death Mask automatically reduces enemy Ld within 6" by 1

Moriar is gone. Death Company Dreadnaughts were an extra ~20pts-ish, and got +D3 attacks. Lost ignore shaken/stunned, though.

Overchargethis!: When I said Assault Marines are strictly Troops, I meant, Assault Marines are STRICTLY Troops
