Please help me figure out how to fight this army
Hello everyone,
I have a group I play with. I usually do pretty well, but one buddy plays Blood Angels and brings 3 Baal predators, and 3 fat stacks of sag guards and a few other pieces. Every single game I am stuck in my deployment zone as he hems me in immediately with Baal predators, followed up by the insanely fast sang guards, and I have no room to maneuver or do anything.
How do I play against this, I just do not understand what I can do because he always has all the initiative. Especially, the only option I have is to take the initial hit and hope that I survive long enough to swing back and kill things, which is crazy unlikely.
I play dark angels, I had the lion activate twice on a 6 man sang guard with captain and Sammy with 3 outriders and 3 black knights activate on the same sang guard once, and there were still 2 sang gaurds left after that. He had two other bricks of them. How can I possibly win when I am putting that many points into a single unit and still not killing it? I am so lost for an answer at the moment.
