Space Marines want to go fast, and the Blood Angels are no exception. Enter the Angel’s Fury detachment from White Dwarf #47 that can reliable let you assault with the majority of your Astartes forces on turn 2!
Squaring off against Dante and his Angels of Fury today is Brother Captain Stern and a shield wall of Elite Blood Angels first company.
Each army has a ton of special rules that help them both in and out of close combat, as well as delivery systems to get them there.
For the Angel’s Fury it’s the triangulation of the Stormravens, and for the Shield Wall it’s scout from the Liber Heresius.
I feel like its better to just watch the video rather than break down all the possible combos that Stern and the Termniators can do, suffice to say that with Sanctuary they get a 2+ INV and that’s really good with Feel No Pain.
I could literally fill the page with combos and potential combos for this squad, and even I am just starting to realize what they are fully capable after each game with them.
The one big thing to remember though, is that they can’t be in two places at once.
When it comes to the Angel’s Fury, all you have to do is land and assault with all those models.
This battle report may just be a perfect example of what happens when the unstoppable force hits the immovable object. If you have specific questions about the list(s), post them below or hit me up on Facebook.
