So, my GK project didn't really turn out the way I had in mind. Nothing wrong with them, they're competitive, but not in the way I want to play them. Playstyle is important for these kinda things ;)
Now, result is that I still need a new competitive list for important tournaments later this year, so I pretty much decided to go for Mech Blood Angels. Different reasons: I love Marines. I love Fast vehicles. I love the fact that it doesn't cost me a whole lot of money.
I have 3 lists at the moment, all pretty similar. If you think all 3 of them are equally fail, go ahead and tell me so; including 'why' of course.
List 1:
Mephy 250
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
Baal; TL-AC, HB 145
Baal; TL-AC, HB 145
Dakka Pred 100
Dakka Pred 100
10 Devastators; 4 ML's 210
Total: 1700
Explaination: Devs and Tacticals usually combat squad. Why Tacticals? I like the 4+2 concept, simple. Rest should speak for itself, if not: ask.
List 2:
Mephy 250
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
5 Sternguard; 2 ML's 135
5 Sternguard; 2 ML's 135
Baal; Flamestorm 115
Baal; Flamestorm 115
Dakka Pred 100
Dakka Pred 100
Total: 1700
Explaination: Cheaper Baals, points went into 'upgrading' Devs into Sternguard, which has its advantages.
List 3:
Libby; Fear + Shield 100
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
Tactical squad; ML, melta/cmelta, rhino 235
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
5 ASM; melta, infernus, rhino 140
5 Sternguard; 2 Lasscannons 155
5 Sternguard; 2 Lasscannons 155
2 Priests 100
Baal; Flamestorm, dozer 120
Baal; Flamestorm, dozer 120
Dakka Pred 100
Dakka Pred 100
Total: 1700
Explaination: Mephy switched for a Libby. Points saved went into upgrading the Sternguard to carry lasscannons, Dozers for the Baals and to include 2 Priests. 2 Priests potentially make the fire base (the 4x5 Marines sitting back with heavy weapons) very annoying to remove or they can go with my forward Marines to make those a bit more capable outside their transports.
Now to not influence your opinion, I won't say which list I like the most. Actually...I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking. That and because it's a rather quiet weekend ^^
Discuss!
