Alright, fellow Warhammer fans, let’s dive into the latest buzz around the Blood Angels, one of the most iconic and badass Chapters in the 40K universe. If you’re into fast, furious, and downright savage gameplay, you’re going to love what’s coming your way with the new Codex Supplement and the incredibly intense Sanguinary Spearhead Combat Patrol.
Blood Angels Codex Supplement & Sanguinary Spearhead Combat Patrol: A Closer Look
First things first, the new Codex Supplement: Blood Angels is packed with all the rules and lore you need to bring the fury of Sanguinius to your tabletop. But what really has everyone buzzing is the Sanguinary Spearhead Combat Patrol. This set is an absolute beast, designed for those who love to get up close and personal with their enemies.
The Sanguinary Spearhead is all about speed and aggression. This 17-miniature set is tailored for players who want to charge across the battlefield and tear through anyone foolish enough to stand in their way. And let me tell you, it’s not just about hitting hard—it’s about hitting fast and making sure your opponents never see it coming.
The Blood Angels Captain: Leading the Charge
At the heart of this Combat Patrol is the Blood Angels Captain. This guy is decked out in artificer armor that’s as deadly as it is stylish, with intricate, muscle-like designs that scream, “I’m here to mess you up!” This Captain is happiest when leading a pack of 10 Assault Intercessors, who are just itching to sink their chainswords into anything that moves.
These Assault Intercessors are the backbone of your force, charging headlong into the fray with a thirst for vengeance that’s impossible to ignore. But don’t worry—they won’t be charging alone.
Sanguinary Guard: Golden Bolts from the Blue
Enter the Sanguinary Guard—the true stars of this Combat Patrol. These guys are like the golden angels of death, descending from the skies with their jump packs roaring and their encarmine blades ready to slice through anything in their path. Picture this: you’re up against a tough opponent, and suddenly, these golden warriors crash into the battlefield, cutting down enemies with ease. It’s like something out of a Blood Angels fan’s dream!
What’s really cool is that you can personalize these models with the two Blood Angels upgrade frames included in the set. We’re talking sculpted shoulder pads, iconic chapter symbols, and even those legendary blonde locks that make Blood Angels so unmistakable. It’s all about making your miniatures truly yours.
Rules & Stratagems: Unleash the Red Thirst
Now, let’s talk about the rules that make this Combat Patrol a force to be reckoned with. The Blood Angels are Space Marines at their core, so they’ve got the Oath of Moment rule that lets them excel in close combat. But what sets them apart is their unique focus on melee combat, thanks to new Enhancements, secondary objectives, and Stratagems that let them surge across the battlefield like a red tide of fury.
One of the most exciting returns is the Red Thirst. This has been a staple of Blood Angels lore since forever, and it’s back to give your Captain and Assault Intercessors that extra edge when things get heated. The Red Thirst lets these warriors tap into their inner berserker, boosting their combat effectiveness just when they need it most.
Durability & the Refuse to Bend Stratagem
Blood Angels aren’t just about dealing damage—they can take it, too. With two Wounds and a 3+ Save, these guys are tough as nails. But if that’s not enough, you’ve got the Refuse to Bend Stratagem up your sleeve. This is a game-changer, especially in the early stages of a match when you’re closing in on the enemy. Any unit outside that crucial 12” range gets double the benefits, bumping their Feel No Pain roll up to a 5+, which can be a lifesaver.
Final Thoughts
This Sanguinary Spearhead Combat Patrol is going to be an absolute terror on the battlefield. It’s got everything you need to put the fear of the Emperor into your opponents—speed, power, and a whole lot of rage. But keep an eye out for the Black Rage—you don’t want these shining warriors to fall under its curse and end up in Lemartes’ care.
In short, if you’re a Blood Angels player, this set is a must-have. It captures everything that makes the Chapter so iconic: relentless aggression, unmatched skill in close combat, and the ability to take on any challenge head-on. Get ready to unleash the fury of Sanguinius on your next battlefield!
