Always great batreps Luke!.... bit of a blunder with Lazarus though It's sad that Blood Angels have become such a meme army compared to the Death Guard
You should seriously consider running some form of Ancient with BA. If you give them the relic banner it's FNP to models within 6' plus whatever other benefit it normally gives. Adds some much needed survivability.
Always love to see blood angels back on the field! It’s good to see some lesser used units like terminators on the table. Maybe bring some death company next time around, switch up the old list a little bit?
Great stuff as usual gents but as much as I think 8th edition is the best yet there are too many character heavy armies with minimum troops to fill out battalions etc. It's my biggest gripe but very easy to fix e.g. only X% of points can be spent on characters or bring back the old force organisation charts! Honestly think the less 'special' rules dominanting a game the more actual battle tactics you need to win and it's not just two castles bashing into each other.
Yeah but it's the asymmetry that makes it interesting. If that's the way you like to play check out tyranids. Personally I really enjoy the style of a metric shit ton of troops, hence why iv got like 4500pts of nids. But after playing that for a while I'm really enjoying having just started a thousand sons army and going heavy with characters, still get some troops but find it a neat style of play and the mix up is good.
Your problem here was failing to overkill targets. Had you put the Lib Dread, Sanguinor, and Captain into Morty he would have been dead turn 1. That would have made for a very different game. Instead you split your damage output a killed a handful of pox walkers...
* The Adeptus Mechanicus have quietly observed one Astartes chapter after another fail to stop the Death Guard horde. But now the Tech Priests have collected enough Hard Data. The Canticles are in place. The Death Guard shall fall to the might of the Mechanicum... soon.*
I always wondered why you didn't charge the dreadnought and the smashcaptain (or sanguinor and captain) into mortarion, just to be sure and then proceed from there.
Small elite army, loses models and damage output falls off a cliff. Drop the 2nd storm raven and buy a stormtalon and a whirlwind, let the DG get a taste of indirect firing death.(Just cos BA are good in assaults you have to remember they are still space marines and thusly are still really good shots, maybe have some sniper rifle scouts to start potting the characters too) So that's 3-0 to the DG vs the astartes. Surely another chapter can step forward to save the reputation of the emperors angels of death?
Ikr? That stupid save of theirs is pure cancer... ( _Which, considering the army, could be seen as quite thematic... still doesn't make it any less annoying, though!_ )
I don't get why you bother using Angel's Wing, but you're not properly taking advantage of it. Huge waste. You charge into combat with just the smash captain, and the rest of your heavy hitters just move on to something else? You could have dropped the enemy warlord in one turn. :/
You make theese mistakes in every single blood angel's battle report!... You are not able to play blood angels, that's the truth . You are too cautious and you can't be cautious playing BA. You have to go all out. In the 1st turn assault phase you did the 50% potential impact that you could make. You could win the game if you had played the first turn assault phase properly.
hmmm. you can't attack the characters which you can see because the scouts are in the way. but you can't attack the scouts because you can't see them. sounds inaccurate.
It needed to be visible unit in past, but then Rhinos started flanking Devastator teams in a way that the only thing the four Lascannons saw was an enemy Character on the other end of the board, in middle of their army, but since the Rhinos in front of the Devs blocked the the whole rest of the another army from view... Pewpewboom went the Character. >_> Had to then fix it thanks to "can't win if I don't break it" -people...

why didnt you shoot the gunship towards the end?
C'mon angels..it's been a while but you know what that famous philosopher Wesley Snipes always said " always bet on red!"
You would've wounded Morty on 2+ because of BA chapter tactic, and u didn't put the wound on after shooting him with hurricane bolters.
Anytime I see a batrep vs. DG, I already know who will win....
"By the blood of Sanguinius, we're gonna rip you filthy traitors a new one." - Blood Angels, probably.

YES! I always get excited for SS82 Battle reports.

Please hit the 'Like' button, share and sub...it really helps:) Thanks, and enjoy the battle!
aaarggghhh, 2's to wound with the captain!!! blood angels, strength 8 vs t7 . +1 to hit.. cause he's a blood angel!!!
Yea always the silly mistakes that he makes. All the damn time.
@@beanspud88 Mistakes happen, negative Nancy.
They fixed it 2mns later 😒 ...
@@bobbywatson2737 they didn't fix the original, he still lost about 3 wounds because of it...
, +1 to hit? I hope you mean to wound 😂 not space wolves but that would be a nice combo blood wolves 😂 😂 😂
Not nearly enough death company
Always love to see blood angels back on the field! It’s good to see some lesser used units like terminators on the table. Maybe bring some death company next time around, switch up the old list a little bit?
Yeah DC would be good to add in:)
Finally more blood Angel's
Buckling in for the ride now. Your bat reps are wonderful, thank you for sharing!
thanks:)
WHAT A GAME! Hugely enjoyed this one. Down to the absolute wire.
thanks:)
If you wanted Morty dead 1st turn, why did not you go with the Cap, Sanguinor and Dreadnought altogether? He would have surely died.
You couldn't roll worse if all your dice only had 1s 2s and 3s on them.

You forgot red thirst on your captain, wounding Morty on a 2+

Come on Blood angels!
Mortarion not piling into the storm raven -_-
Into a flyer ? What would be the point ?
@@bobbywatson2737 He would already be in combat on his turn and wouldnt have to take any overwatch.
@@jvontobelwrites ; oh you're right, I missed this, thanks 👍!
Really good battle! Love both lists!
thanks:)
Will nobody stop this plague
Brutally epic! Edge of my seat the whole time
thanks:)
Another top quality battle report
thanks:)
Someone needs to get the grey knights back to the field to stop this heresy
Rough days for the Space Marines. Let Mortarion face the ork grand battery!
yeah someone needs to stop the DG:)
Love your batreps !
thanks:)
How can the DG player take 6 plague marines? I thought you could only do squads of 5 or 7?
And why the hell you didn't disembark the sanguinary Guard to charge Mortarion alongside the captain????

They could always try sending in Raspberry Girlyman & the Ultrasmurfs... then it's a case of fighting cheese with cheese!
Come for the ads about Dropshipping, stay for the 40k!
Hurricane bolters on poxwalkers! Not plague Marine.
you said "here" about a dozen times within a minute between 2:15 and 3:15 lol
lol
You should do a grey knights video
DG guy had some shitty dice luck
Red Thirst?????
You seen shockingly unlucky
F I R E P O W E R
Playing DG is like playing 40k on easy mode. It doesn't take a lot of skill to win.
@Adrian Pietras Did I say I've never beat DG?
Eh, not really
Ikr? That stupid save of theirs is pure cancer... ( _Which, considering the army, could be seen as quite thematic... still doesn't make it any less annoying, though!_ )

Hope Mortarion destroys everything!

Would be nice to not see a primarch in every battle report, just my opinion
hmmm. you can't attack the characters which you can see because the scouts are in the way. but you can't attack the scouts because you can't see them. sounds inaccurate.
Nope that's the rules. Don't matter if you can't see them as long as they are closer.
