1750 "Extra Crispy" Tourney Army


Here is the 1750 list that I took to a local tournament recently. The photos aren't the best, I took them the day of the tourney and it was a bit cloudy outside

Anyway the army was a TON of fun to play. The Heavy Flamer's proved to be quite useful and were definitely something that people were not sure how to react too. I had the best finish I have had since I started playing 40k a year ago, 6th out of 80+ players!
The FOC restrictions made for some creative list building, and ultimately the Immolator Spam template the Kirby over at 3++ came up with was the starting point that I used for this army.

The models are not painted in the traditional Blood Angel manner, this is my DIY successor chapter, "Sanguine Templar's" I really like the look of SM's done up "Black Templar" style, but I also like the BA rules....so wala!!! Sanguine Templar's

Here is a break down of the list that I took;

HQ
Libby
-Shield
-Fear the Darkness

Elite
Stern Guard x 5
-Combi-Meltax 2
-Razorback
-HK Missile
-Twin-Linked Heavy Flamer

Troops
2 x Tac Squad x 10
-Missile Launcher
-Melta Gun
-Comb-Melta
-Razor Back
-HK Missile
-Twin-Linked Heavy Flamer

3 x ASM x 5
-Melta Gun
-Infernous Pistol
-Razorback
-HK Missile
-Dozer Blade
-Twin Linked Heavy Flamer

Fast
2 x Baal Predator
-Flamestorm Cannon

Heavy
2 x Dreadnought w/ 2 Twin-Linked Auto Cannons

One thing that this army proved to provide was target frustration for my opponent, where do you start? What do you kill first? In addition to a great finish, I also took "Best Painted Army" and the "Players Choice" award!

Thanks for looking and feel free to leave any feedback!

  2. Edit:I really like this army selection. It definitely seems to have the "Wait. What should I shoot first" for the opponents. I also love the paint job. Keep up the awesome work.
