Sir_Servo · 05-07-2008

MoW hit the nail on the head. There was a time when every tournament saw Blood Angles brining 6 tac squads of 5 men each with Las-cannons on all the Razerbacks and in each squad. On top of that each squad had a vet. serg. then they would field a few regular predators, not the Baal varient, and for an hq a chaplain or two. For the most part they would just zoom around and shoot the heck out of every one! Thats right Blood Angels were avoiding close combat.

Even the Chaplain with a huge death company wouldn't actively engage the enemy they were kept at the rear and used only if the enemy some how made it thourgh the withering hail of fire.

I think what would have been a good fix is to offer a Trait in the divergence system that would have allowed a little more access to Heavey weapons. I havn't read much up on the Space Marine Redux that is coming out in 5th ed, but perhaps they will fix it then.

My two cents,
Servo
