blood angels under the new rules;
- more easily controlled & more predictable as they no longer have a 'black rage' roll... (ie: your devies will now stay in place and shoot!)
- faster tansports though there is a slight risk to it...
- assault squads as Troops choices
- combat squad rules similar to, though not as all encompassing as the dark angels. (IIRC, only assault, tactical, scout & devi squads get it)
- smaller honour guard squads
- overall a very agressive army that still has the basic organisation of a codex chapter... while you get losts of assault options, they're really not any better than an ultrasmurf...
space wolves;
- mandetory HQ's/pts level means you're forced to shell out for expensive non-scoring IC's
- excel at close range fighting! grey hunters are a pain to shift as they pack lots of power toys...
- true grit.
- large squads of blood claws mean you can postentially outnumber your opponent in assaults.
- anti-tank is limited to close ranged assault weapons, or tanks/dreads, or small 5-man long fang squads.
- long fangs... expensive yet small devi squad.
- wolf scouts!!! these guys are plain mean. better options than any other scout squad and they can pop up right behind your opponent's lines!
well, that's the big things off the top of my head so to speak... basically if you want a truely elitest army that fights well in both shooting & assault at close range, go wolves...
if you simply want to rip things apart in bloody assaults then go blood angels and max out on assault squads, veteran squads & death company.
cheers!
