Tom has been using a 'Counts-As' Raven Guard list using the Blood Angels Codex because.....well lets be honest if it wasn't for Shrike being in the Vanilla Marine Codex would anybody use it to represent Raven Guard?
The answer is most obviously, Of course not ;-)
Anyway.....
1750 Pts - Blood Angels Roster - Toms 'Counts as' Raven Guard
HQ: Librarian in Power Armour (1#, 125 pts)
1 Librarian in Power Armour @ 125 pts (Jump Pack; Blood Lance; Might of Heroes)
: Honour Guard (5#, 240 pts)
1 Honour Guard @ 240 pts (Chapter Banner; Equip with Jump Packs; Honour Guard; Honour Guard)
1 Sanguinary Novitiate (Jump Pack)
3 Honour Guard (Jump Pack; Flamer x1; Meltagun x1)
1 Honour Guard (Jump Pack)
Editors Note - The list he gave me has the Honour Guard being 265 points whereas this load-out only appears to come to 240 which would seem to make his list 25 points short. As this list is somewhat different from the one we play-tested together I don't know if the mistake is his or mine, lol.

Rather helpfully, Tom has done Battle Reports for all these matches using the pictures that I took. So rather than listing the 'significant events' like I normally do with these things I'll just link to the Battle Reports on his own blog. On that note - The opinions on his own blog are obviously his and not (necessarily) mine so don't come complaining to me if he happens to call you a twat or comments on your personal hygiene, he's also currently on holiday so don't expect a quick reply from him either ;-)

I'll see you all tomorrow (hopefully) for Matches 4 and 5.
I would just like to say turn 9!
ReplyDeletewhy does your foes land raider appear to have no guns, did you get that many weapon destroyed results?
ReplyDelete@mark no... as you can see from the state of his painting there were hatches missing any way. I think I only removed 1 before it died on turn 2.
