A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. grimdank is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Prediction before reading the article - soupped up meele dreadnought in a drop pod, thunderhammer HQ and a sanguinary priest. Haven't played since 8th and haven't played Blood Angels at all, let's see how I do.

Edit: in article 3x intercessor squad, death company, dread and Mephiston. Close, but not quite

Hah. Same. I only ever saw Blood Angels from the other end of the table. :D

The article seems to be for beginners who want to start with Blood Angels. That looks like a solid starting point for them with pretty much every edition. Only thing I find a bit weird is taking the Close Combat Intercessor Squads and equipping the Death Company with Bolters.
