I was reading the lore book from the Armageddon box and it lists Strike force Rapheon as one of the blood angels formations on Armageddon; Rapheon being the jump chaplain.

I was wondering if chaplains can be given command of field formations and if so up to what level?

Reposting cause I misunderstood stuff and deleted preemptively but wanted everyone’s thoughts on a librarian + SP + 10 AIs to hold the midboard and just soak up damage with the 4+ invul and 5+ FNP? Could be more useful than simply using them as a bodyguard for the captain

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing 40K for a couple of months now and I was wondering if people use their intercessors in a role that goes beyond just using them to hold/sticky home objectives?

I know they’re not the best but I do like the models and the idea of the regular line infantry doing something on the board seems fun. I’m not super competitive and usually run thematic lists anyways so it doesn’t have to be absolutely crazy but I’d be curious to hear if/how people use their intercessors beyond their home objective and how big the squad sizes are etc. Thanks a lot! :)

Just had a 2K point game against a Veterans of the long War list and managed to win quite handily! I managed to chain my red thirst and not charge in everywhere. Got onto all objectives in no man’s land turn 1 and held then basically all game with some good secondaries.

Main thing was the insane narrative experience thought. His vindicator was wrecking my AI brick but got absolutely ruined when Astorath jumped in and destroyed it with his DC. Lemartes got epic challenged by a Chaos Lord but held his own and won the objective eventually forcing his lord to fall back but the best of the bunch was my Chaplain Malachai leading 5 DC marines on foot who faced down and killed a Demon Prince with wings while being on 1 wound himself.

Feels amazing beating a CSM army, it really hits different to say beating xenos, especially one led by Abaddon good to show Horus’s lapdog his place without having succumbed to the thirst haha

Hey everyone! Basically what the title say! I like to write narrative stories for my blood angels army and characters as I continue to build it up and was wondering what kinds of enemies the blood angels face in Nihilus post devastation of Baal/introduction of the primaris marines?

Any answers are good but I plan on setting the first campaign/battle in a backwater alpine world so if there’s any enemies that suit that environment that’d be great!

I was gonna do Tau before I realised how far they are from Nihilus lol and I’m not sure if I can give a lore justification for them being there. Thanks for in advance! :)

Hey everyone! Basically what the title says, I was wondering if yall have any tips and tricks on how to get the most out of LAG? I’m still relatively new but have found that other armies often seem to have a ton more stuff to their detachments and while I get that LAG is meant to reward charging, I was wondering if people had any ways to get the most out of the list as I wanna move beyond the “I just want to charge” aspect of it. Specific units, stratagems, combinations etc

I’m currently rebuilding my smash captain to give him a death mask from the SG kit. I was wondering if there’s a more justification for this or a death mask-esque headgear? I’m probably not correct but aren’t death masks reserved for the SG/Chapter master?
