Latest Blood Angel codex gives some nice alternatives for khornate Chaos SM armies. Saying this, I'm preparing my own iteration, using some of the models picked up during last Christmas shopping fever.
As typical in such a case, I really had no clear plan for them, but now I'm going with 2ooo pts mech-type list. It has an obvious flaw against assault-heavy armies, but what is BA-related force without one :-). Usually, I like to have a lot of folks in my marines armies and this list will give me some change.
At the moment, it is as following:
Librarian
Librarian
Terminators Assault Squad x5 - thunder hammers/storm shield
Furioso Dreadnought - blood talons
Assault Squad w/o jump packs x5 - meltagun, in Razorback (lascannon/TL-plasma)
Assault Squad w/o jump packs x5 - meltagun, in Razorback (lascannon/TL-plasma)
Assault Squad w/o jump packs x5 - meltagun, in Razorback (lascannon/TL-plasma)
Assault Squad w/o jump packs x5 - meltagun, in Razorback (lascannon/TL-plasma)
Baal Predator (magnetized to have both turret options)
Baal Predator
Vindicator - dozerblade
Vindicator - dozerblade
Stormraven
Total - 2000 pts with Blood Angels codex.
Librarians are giving psychic protection (hood and Shield of Sanguinus), as well as some offensive option (Blood Lance or Force Weapon).
Terminators are riding in Stormraven with Furioso, but should disembark quickly as SR is definitely not a Landrider (Av 12 vs 14, respectively). Both, Termis and Dread models from Forgeworld.
Troops are typical mech spam, but as they don't have staying power of Plaguemarines, maybe I will swap 2 squads for one big going with power-fisted Sergeant in a Rhino. Another option is to drop only one squad but include powerfist as a sixth body to the rest. Forgeworld models for dudes and transports.
Fast Attack choice is easy. I just have to do small conversions and to magnetize weapon options.
Vindicators I already have from some 3-in-a-box bargain, and they need finally affiliation.
Stormraven will be created from a mix of Landrider and Valkyrie bits, in a way similar to Spikey Bits approach.
In more distant future I want to expand this force to something more versatile. This will include few special characters and some jump-packed squads. The pictures below shows my ideas for HQ choices.
