As a BA player I encourage all dread lists with dread-pods.  I've only ran 4 in a elite detachment though, as I don't have a chaplain dread nor any forge world ones.  A deradeo would be nice for anti-tank and 2 libby dreads can shred in combat.

Actaully, it would be cool to see a BA detachment, SW detachment, and IH detachment.  You could get 3 libby dreeads, melee support from Sw and shooting support from IH, that would be cool to see on the table.

Killing themed teams is a buzzkill.  No daemon teams with each person rocking a different mark.  No Ork WAAAAGH with different klan kulturs to represent the Great Waaaaggghhhhh coming together.

Limiting one 'book' per team seems to not be in the spirit of OFCC.  IMO, it greatly impacts the hobby aspect and its forcing teams to play armies they don't want to.

Now, I know this doesn't effect every team but I would assume this is affecting a good majority of teams.

I'll use my position as an example.  I posted months ago that i was looking for a team.  I started a blood angels progress and I've been working on conversions and purchashed a bunch of Primaris and all the assassins.  Now i may not even be able to use Assassin's if someone else on my team is?  At that point i wasted a lot of money and then i need to find a team who isn't playing blood angels?  Again, if that isn't an option, a bunch of wasted money and time trying to put together an army for this event.

Again, it just seems like restricting hobby is against what OFCC represents.

@Bloated Toad

Have you thought about an ancient with the relic upgrade that lets you shoot or fight on a 3+ after your model dies?

If you needed points, I'd suggest dropping the devs to 5 man squads.

I'd also agree that a razorback with assault cannon over the rhino is a better option.  Razorbacks with assault cannons need to be dealt with and could potentially pull target priority from other units.

2nd Exorcist assembled (in sub-sections) and painting has started. Hospitaler likewise. Guardian didn't get their GW shipment on time, so I couldn't pick up the pile of boxes I was hoping to. They are allowed to stay open according to the current rules, so if they decide to I'll scuttle out on Tuesday to get the ladies I need.

Tuesday Edit: Walked a few miles, got some much-needed reinforcements for the sisters. More painting done, and Imagifier built, bases drying, and awaiting the next layer of grim-darkitude: skulls.

 

Finished her off finally. She was the test color scheme model that got picked. So she got her finishing touches and her base.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one hobbying at my computer, waiting on que times.  The purple came out very nice.  Well done.

Assembled four Sanguinary Guard, a Captain, and The Sanguinor:

Painted four Aggressors:

Here's my progress:

Completed: 4 Aggressors

Primed: 15 Scouts, 10 Incursors, 2 Aggressors, Impulsor

Assembled: vindicare assassin, culexus assassin, callidus assassin, eversor assassin, primaris Mephiston, primaris chaplain

Posted in the wrong spot.  Will be posting in correct spot shortly.

Got some good progress going:

4 More Sanguinary Guard assembled

Captain

The Sanguinor

I'll be green stuffing the wrist areas tomorrow and once the green stuff dries, the hands will be pinned to the arms.

Currently working on my own version of The Sanguinor and the 2nd Captain.

Hoping to have picks posted soon.  This is a tough one.

@Ish You got me.  Can you find the triple ghostkeels?

Here's what the bases look like for the remaining two Aggressors and the Incursors

We have progress with the Aggressors.  Here are 4 of the 6.  I have the unit Sergeant and one other aggressor to paint for the squad to be finished

Just a comment of Doctrines.  On turn 3 you can chose to stay in tactical doctrine or move to assault doctrine.  On turn 4 you are forced to assault doctrines.

The camo cloaks are a wasted option, IMO, if you don't have sniper scouts.

For transports, I'd suggest razorbacks with assault cannons.  You get a transport to hide characters from turn 1 snipes and a nice horde clearing option.

I would also look into a captain and spend a CP to make him a chapter master for re-rolls for hits (as a blood angel player it pains me that my only option is Dante for those re-rolls).

However, with all that said, they are your 'toys' and play them however you wish.

I don't play 9th; however, here's a few places I used when I played 8th.

Reaper Mini for a huge selection of hero choices

Avatar of War makes some great minis as well as bases.  In fact my Dwarf army from 8th is all I kept due to the bases and my ranger models

For movement trays I used, and continue to use, tectonic.

Those are my suggestions.

Join TEAM AoS haha!

Nice try

Now I need a team...

I primed the aggressors, incursors, and one of the impulsors.

I used Dragon Red from army painter.

For any future, or current Blood Angels players, I strongly suggest Dragon Red from army painter.  I feel that it lays down a much smoother and better looking primer over Mephiston Red from GW.

Once I am able to, I'll post pics of the models for color.

Glue has made it onto the models.  Depending on the weather, i should be able to start priming in a few days.  I have a single impulsor left to assemble.

This also means I will be able to continue painting the smash captain and move on to The Sanguinor soon.

See, that's my problem. I have space wolves, orks, tau, GSC, eldar, necrons, chaos marines, slannesh deamons, ad mech, and imperial knights. I think so far the only book I could skip would be the blood angels and nids.

I bought the BA book because I play BA and that was my codex update.  I look at the rest like vigilance.  How much does it matter if i have it or not?  I don't have vigilance but know the rules for my Ork upgrade to Dread Waaaggh!!

That new Gaz model is crazy go nutz. By the way, are the Psychic Awakening books worth getting? I was tempted by the Greater Good one as I have both Tau and GSC. And now the latest has Orks and Space Wolves which I also have. At $40 a book, not exactly the cheapest thing to get. 

I would say the book is worth getting if you have an army tied to the book.

@Dark Trainer

Sweet, I need to get my Knights of Baal back on the table.  The league is a no-go for me (I cant drive in the sling).

Is a three color minimum required?  I'm looking at what i could realistically start painting once the sling comes off.

@Dark Trainer

What are the requirements for the 25th?  I will be out of my sling and ready for some 40k action.

Once this sling comes off, hobby on!!!

Mephiston is travelling through the warp with reinforcements to Baal...

...Meanwhile new recruits have been inducted to the scouts...

I like the doctrine change but I don't agree with getting rid of the start.

@deadwing34

Very cool!
