Bosco Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 So I am hell-bent on fielding my Angry marines (counts-as Blood Angels), likely with the Baal Strike Force force org chart/detachment since +1 Initiative seems like an angrier/fluffier characteristic than ObSec troops. My collection for this army is largely jump troops, though I was going to stuff in a couple drop pods (fits their 'fluff') to deliver some tac squads. I've got tons of ideas for conversions and whatnot, settled on my paint scheme/technique, etc. and will be keeping them fairly PG-13 as far slogans/themes since I don't think some of the more offensive sayings I have seen on them are particularly funny (for those familiar with their 'fluff' and potentially concerned) The lists I am considering are along the lines of: Raging Rescue Baal Strike Force Detachment AsstoRAGE (Astorath) Sanguinangry Priest (Sanguinary Priest) w/ Angel's Wing, bolt pistol, power weapon Belligerent Engine (Death Company Dread) w/ blood talons, meltagun/flamer, drop pod 10 Belligerent Marines (Death Company) w/jump packs, power fist, power weapon 7 Belligerent Marines (Death Company) w/jump packs, 2x power weapon 5 Sanguinangry Guard (Sanguinary Guard) death masks 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) multimelta, meltagun, sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) hvy flamer, flamer, sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Assault Marines (Assault Marines) 2x meltagun, vet sgt w/power fist Aegis Defence Line w/comms relay Imperial Guard Allied Detachment Company Command Squad Infantry Platoon w/ autocannon team in each of the infantry squads option 2, requires fewer new purchases and is pure counts-as blood angels. Angels of RageChapter Master Temperus Maximus (Commander Dante) AsstoRAGE (Astorath) Sanguinangry Priest (Sanguinary Priest) w/ Angel's Wing, bolt pistol, power weapon Belligerent Engine (Death Company Dread) w/ blood talons, meltagun/flamer, drop pod 15 Belligerent Marines (Death Company) w/jump packs, power fist, power weapon 7 Sanguinangry Guard (Sanguinary Guard) death masks 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) multimelta, meltagun, vet sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) hvy flamer, flamer, vet sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Assault Marines (Assault Marines) 2x meltagun, vet sgt w/power fist Neither list is finished at this time, just rough frameworks. The rescue themed list is likely more competitive with some cheap guard camping objectives in the back while marines rain from above and engage the opponent in melee, but the second is much fluffier IMO; everything completely ignores objectives and go screaming into melee ASAP, but in doing so it makes victory significantly more difficult. Either seem better suited to OFCC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I like the second list mostly because of style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowbakk Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd like the first list better if instead of a Company Command squad you had a Commissar which would more accurately reflect the Angry Marines Fluff, as I recall.

Bosco Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I like the second list mostly because of style. That is the one I like best for theme as well; I feel like OFCC is the right environment for a list like that which is very heavily geared towards what an army should play like. Plus I don't have to go out and buy/build/paint a ton of models for that. I feel dirty bringing a handful of guardsmen to cower behind a ADL and try to punk a rhino or two with some autocannons while holding backfield objectives, which is what the first list would be. Adamantine sack of power door knobs! Best piece of wargear ever! Definitely an easy replacement for a powerfist (likely held by a powerfist to avoid any potential confusion). I need to sort out Powerbats, powerwrenches, and powerfoldingchairs as well as adamantine 2x4 with a nail through it for the appropriate count-as weapons. I want power swords, but there will clearly be plenty of power maces in there, maybe a power-trenching tool for a sword/axe. IDK. I'd like the first list better if instead of a Company Command squad you had a Commissar which would more accurately reflect the Angry Marines Fluff, as I recall. Commisar John Fuklaw! I considered this, but in the first list I'd want the guardsmen to be modeled as hiding behind the ADL, something an Angry Commisar wouldn't tolerate for long. Maybe he'll be present in the army display diorama, assuming my two-year-old is willing to let that become a reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, I like the idea of an allied detachment to bring Fuklaw along. Commissar Lord for Fuklaw and then an IG veteran squad with 3 Flamers, a Demo Charge, and a Power (Fist/Bat/Chair/Axe) on the Sarge would be awesome. Model them out of Catachans upper bodies and Scout legs. They would be "Almost, but not quite angry enough......yet." Marines. My $0.02.

PourSpelur Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ooh, what if you did all the guard cowering/hiding behind each other/firing blindly from behind cover? Makes the big, angry Marines even BIGGER, ANGRIER AND MARINIER! Bonus points if the Guard are wearing tutu's and maid uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 You had me at "Sanguinangry Guard". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 So after noodling a while and trying to work out what is fluffy but still gives a reasonable chance at contributing an occasional win to my team I've come up with what I think is a solid final list to get busy converting/painting: Raging Rescue 2.0 Baal Strike Force Detachment AsstoRAGE (Astorath) SanguinAngry Priest (Sanguinary Priest) w/ Jump Pack, Relic Blade Belligerent Engine (Death Company Dread) w/ blood talons, meltagun/flamer, drop pod 10 Tourettes Marines (Death Company) w/jump packs, power weapon, Adamantine Sack of Power Doorknobs (Powerfist) 5 SanguinAngry Guard (Sanguinary Guard) death masks, 1x axe, 4x sword, 5x 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) multimelta, meltagun, sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Marines (Tac squad) hvy flamer, flamer, sgt w/ power weapon, drop pod 10 Angry Assault Marines (Assault Marines) 2x meltagun, vet sgt w/power weapon 10 Angry Assault Marines (Assault Marines) 2x flamer, vet sgt w/Adamantine Sack of Power Doorknobs (Powerfist) Aegis Defence Line Imperial Guard Allied DetachmentCommisar Lord John Fuklaw w/carpace armor Infantry Platoon -Platoon Command Squad -Infantry Squad w/autocannon team -Infantry Squad w/autocannon team I can have fun modeling the guard to suit their role while the Marines will still be suitably ridiculous. Should be a reasonably entertaining army even if it is a bit one-dimensional. Thanks all for the input and ideas, I really appreciate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Looks fine for OFCC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, an OFCC list for sure. It at least has lots of bodies and they are going to get in people's faces. Should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
