I’m having a lot of problems playing against a mechanised blood angels list and I was wondering if anybody could help me out with some useful tactics.
The list (as best as I can remember) is as follows:
1 x Baal with Autocannons + Heavy Bolters
1 x Baal with Autocannons + Heavy Bolters
1 x Whirlwind
1 x Demolisher with Seige Shield
2 x tanks with Autocannons (Razorbacks??)
1x Rhino
1 Squad of vanguard veterans
2x 10 man tactical squads, a librarian and a sanguinary priest. The marines are armed with melta guns and plasma guns, plus one heavy plasma cannon. The Librarian uses the glittering shield power (5+ cover save) and some kind of death lance? (strength 8 goes 3d6 in a straight line)
The basic tactics the player uses is to put the vanguards in reserve and outflank with the baals. He then tank rushes at me as fast as possible, firing as much as possible while peppering my fire warriors with shots from the whirlwind – uses the librarian to grant cover saves against my shooting (which is so annoying). When the Baals outflank they generally come in to targetthe back of my tanks or my broadsides, while the vanguard veterans often deepstrike next to my crisis suits or broadsides and charge them immediately
My standard list is this:
2 x Hammerhead + Disruption Pod + Fletchette discharger
2x Broadsides + Targeting Arrays + Target Lock 2x Shield Drones
2 x 11 man Fire Warrior Squads + Marker Drone
2 x Devilfish + Disruption Pod + Fletchette discharger
Crisis Shas’o + Plasma + Missile Pod
2x Bodyguard Plasma/Missile Pod + Missilepod Flamer
4x Shield Drones, 2x Marker Drones
My usual tactics are to try and take out the tanks as soon as possible, but i struggle against the infantry, and I find myself running out of anti-tank shots increadibly quickly. I was considering putting some Fusion blasters in but I really didn’t want to get up to close to his marines who would tear me apart in combat
Any suggestions?
