I think you're right.

Well when I wrote up my DIY chapter, I had them listed as being an Ultramarines successor chapter. But rules wise, I think it might be better to use Imperial Fists. But I really like what I did with the personal lore, so I might stick with UM. I'm just not sure.

My idea is: 1500 points Gladius Strike Force Battle Demi-Company Detachment Captain - Powerfist - Artificer armor - Jump pack 10 man Tac Squad x3 -Plasma Gun -Combi-Plasma -Rhino w/Dozer blade Devastator Centurions - x2 Boob Missiles - Sgt. W/ Gravcannon and Omniscope Assault Squad -Jump packs Storm Wing Detachment Stormraven - No upgrades Stormtalon - No upgrades Stormtalon - No upgrades And since they would get the Doctrines using the new formation structure, I would run them with Imperial Fists Chapter Tactics. Maybe Iron Hands. I'm still deciding on that one.

The new Demi-Company formation is starting to grow on me. I have been playing around with some neat 1500 roster ideas. :D I would love to see what you come up with. :D

Fair enough. :)

I would think both. If Vanilla Marines can field a ton of bikes, then I think it would make sense for Blood Angels to be able to field a lot of Assault Marines. It fits the lore, and has precedent. :D

A lot of people in the club or a lot of the people who are active on the forums? I mean, Ordo seems like a big club. And the idea that 80% ( a rough estimate of the statement "most") of the club only plays at events seems a bit off to me. But I could be wrong. Either way, I can see why you wouldn't be interested in using such a rule. It was just a thought.

Well then perhaps we should make it a House Rule/ Club Rule? Makes sense to me. And I think it would make some people happy. :D

I would love to see a rule similar to the Mounted Assault rule for Codex: Space Marines. Maybe something along the lines or: "Winged Assault: If an Independent Character with the Blood Angels faction takes a Jump Pack, Assault Marines become a Troops choice."

Do you think BA scouts should get the same statline at SM scouts?

Say what you want, but I did pretty well in Warmachine tournaments taking sub-optimal lists, and models the internets had declared horribad. Did I win all the time? Nope. But one can never expect to win every single game. But I had fun every single game. Which is what I was going for. The W was just the frosting. Since coming over to 40K I have had a great time playing the armies I thought looked neat. And sure, sometimes I lost pretty hard. But I just tried using what I had in a different way, and I had a better run the second time. But that's me. Your mileage may vary.

I'm not too worried about that. I usually build my armies in a more lore friendly way anyway. Also, I am a firm believer that you can win with any army. :D

I actually did a small group of Novamarine terminators. The scheme is one of my favorites, and I love their lore. However, I could never got the lines straight when I was doing the tac squads and they came out looking like poop. :( On the plus side, it did give me cause to make my own custom chapter and I have loved working on them.

So I am starting to finish up my planned projects for both my Space Marines, and my Imperial Knights. Which means I am going to need a new project lined up. Right now I am really eye balling Blood Angels. However, I am unsure which chapter I should build and paint. Although I have narrowed it down to three choices: Blood Angels: I have never done a founding chapter before, and I love the look of the models. The bright red is something that really pops on the table, and I love the lore presented for them. Flesh Tearers: I have really enjoyed the Andy Smilie fiction that has been published for them. I kind of like the idea of making an anti-hero chapter. I'm not too crazy about the darker red, but on the other hand it is super easy to pull off. And I think it would look good when they are all together on the table top. Custom Chapter: I had a ton of fun making my own custom chapter for my Vanilla Space Marines. And it would stand to reason I would enjoy doing the same for the Blood Angels. But I don't really have a neat lore idea, but I do have some fun hobby ideas for the force. I would most likely use quite a few Dark Angels models in the force in order to make a more robey, crusadey, looking chapter. What do you guys think?

So, is anyone starting a new army for the new edition? I'm going to be starting warriors of chaos :D

I'll be very interested in seeing these guys on the table. :D

I think I will be sticking with my Space Marines.

This was one of the surprising changes in the new codex. And I for one, am liking it. :D

I think this could be fun. 2,000 points. I think I'll start working on some army ideas.

But back to the OP: I think it might be neat, within the context of bringing back discontinued armies. I for one, would love to see some Squats on the table.

Things of a personal nature are best left to PMs. Remember, while Pax might not be upset by your comment, there might be another gamer within the community that is hurt, or made to feel unwelcome by said posted comment. The key to keeping internet discussions civil, is to always remember that your posts should be: Clear Informative of your position, or argument Inclusive Otherwise you risk sounding more like a troll, starting a flame war, or more dangerously.... making someone who has been lurking in the forums out of a desire to participate within our community, lose the desire to do so. Another way to think about it is this: manners, they cost you nothing. But can reap great rewards.

I really don't think this is an appropriate question to be posted to someone over the forums.

I like ATSKNF as is.

Yeah, I would love to be able to assault out of a Rhino if it were stationary. That would be neat.

Do you think you will call your dudes Deathwing and Ravenwing?
