Codex: Blood Angels Q&A
Q: What happens if you take two Chaplains? A: You can only ever have one Death Company unit if you take two Chaplains as two HQ choices, then both Chaplains and their Death Company Space Marines form a single unit. Q: What happens if Lemartes is taken without a Death Company? Can he be on his own? A: If the special character Chaplain Lemartes is not accompanied by Death Company then he is an Independent Character. Q: Does the Veteran Assault Squad Sergeant get wargear or do you have to pay to upgrade him first? A: Veteran Assault Squads have an ordinary Sergeant as standard and must pay to have a proper Veteran Sergeant. Q: Is the Ld of the Force Commander only a 9 to represent the lack of self-control the chapter has? A: A Blood Angels Force Commander is Ld 10 like all other Space Marine Force Commanders (oops!) Q: Do the transport options for the Honor Guard get the supercharged engines, since they are cheaper than normal Blood Angel versions? A: The Rhino/ Razorback option in the Honour Guard entry should be 65/ 85 points respectively (oops, oops!) They do get the engines. Q: Other predators get sponsons in pairs for one price. The Baal pays for each sponson. Why? A: The sponson costs on a Baal Predator are for a pair, not per sponson (oops, oops, oops). Q: Can I use the 6" overcharged engine movement to go in any direction, like normal movement? A: When a Rhino or Razorback uses its overcharged engines, the extra 6" move must be straight ahead. Q: The entry for regular dreadnoughts in the Blood Angel Codex is in the Heavy Support section and says to take them from the Heavy Support Section in the Space Marine Codex. In the Space Marine Codex, they are Elites. What is allowed? A: Blood Angels can take Furioso Dreadnoughts as Elites and ordinary Dreadnoughts (from the Elites in the Space Marine Codex) as Heavy Support. Note that this does mean they could have up to 6 Dreads in total (they prefer Dreads, which can fight in assault, rather than other vehicles). Q: Do Dreadnoughts benefit from the Black Rage? A: Yes. Q: When using over-charged engines a dangerous terrain test must be passed first. A dozer blade allows the player to re-roll dangerous terrain tests if the vehicle will not be moving more than 6" that turn. Can a dozer blade really stop the engine from malfunctioning? A: I'm sure that no reasonable opponent would mind to using a house rule that stops dozer blades effecting this test. When not playing against reasonable opponents, you’ll just have to let them have the re-roll and grin and bear it! Of course, since the dozer blade is not-useful when moving more than 6", it should not some into play all that often. Q: It says in the Blood Angels Codex under the Death Company: "A Death Company automatically passes any Leadership test it is required to make & ignores any effect that would normally make them fall back automatically. This also applies to any character who joins the Death Company unit." If a Librarian joins the Death Company does he automatically pass his Psychic test? A: No (nice try though!) Q: When do I have to decide whether Death Company have a Rhino or Jump Packs? A: Decide on Jump Packs or Rhino before each game, after generating the unit (but you'll need WYSIWYG models to do this). You only ever get one Rhino, and how you deal with overcrowding problems is pretty much up to you (i.e. either make 'em walk within 2" of the Rhino, or simply don't take the models that don't fit). Q: When generating Death Company, if you roll a 4+ for a squad, and the squad was lead by a Vet Sgt, you can choose to take him. Does this happen instead of choosing another member of the squad, or in addition to one other member joining? A: This happens instead of picking another member of the squad. Q: If Blood Angels are mounted in a Rhino and Force March (White Dwarf rule), can they disembark from it at the end of its move? Normally of course they can use their over-charged engines and still disembark after moving over 12", but we were not sure if that also applied to Forced Marching. A: The answer is No.
