Unboxing Warhammer 40,000 Blood Angels Army Launch Box (Massive Savings)

[@gammothdraws]

Starting my Space Marine army with this and half a box of Cataphractii to act as Assault Termies. Definitely excited to kitbash and customize the crap out of my Homebrew Chaoter

[@TableTopBROs]

very nice, nothing better than a kitbash, custom chapter! cheers

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

That is a great set. If I had a Blood Angels army I would have definitely picked it up. Those new sculps for the characters look so good.

[@TableTopBROs]

its a really nice set, i love the new models! i hope we see space wolves get a similar treatment, and am very excited for the Emperors children to come!

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

@@TableTopBROs I imagine both of those armies are going to get awesome upgrade sprues and unique units. Next year is probably going to be really exciting for 40k.

My preferred way to set up an army is the Battle Force/Army Intro box + multiple CP boxes (yeah, I know you have looked at this on your WHMS channel). I have been doing this for years now, with the only problem being it tends to be infantry focussed, especially with the newest CP releases having limited vehicles. Also, if the troop choices supplied in these boxed sets are poor quality, that's when you need to look outside this method of acquisition. But as you have identified, the Blood Angels choices are quite good within these boxed sets. My infantry focus tends to come from my interest in historical wargaming, and the fact that a mechanised force needs infantry support to really be effective.

ya this is a great way to get a nice core force. i tend to prefer "stat check" type armies. so tons of infantry, and no vehicles, or tons of vehicles, and very little infantry. try to heavily skew my list in a single direction, to overload more balanced opponents lists. i think the first additions i'll add to my BAs are scouts, infiltrators, sanguinor, dante, and mephiston. may leave the dread at home, and go all infantry. but i do have quite a bit of blood angels already painted up. just not necessarily the stuff i want for my list haha (or its older models, and i want the new sculpts)

2 tactical squads, 1 dread, and an HQ... $550 dollars.. JFC Im so glad I dont buy GW shit anymore

[@TableTopBROs]

i mean, technically yes. but it also comes with a codex, datacards, and 4x upgrade frames... so thats $235 in product you are basically ignoring, when you make your statement. but yes GW is expensive, and i understand why people use alternative brands, games, and 3d print. as long as you're enjoying your hobby/gaming, thats what really matters
