Troops, how well do you think a Blood Angel Air Force army would do? In a 2000 point game I could field 6 StormRavens (because of the double force org rule that kicks in for 2K games). A couple of cheap Librarians would be the two HQs and 4 five man assault squads would satisfy the troop requirements. Really, though, the might of the army would be the flyers and the main tactic would be to "kill 'em all." What do y'all think? Cope
You must deploy at least half your army on the board, ignoring units that must start in reserves. Flyers must start in reserves.
So your Ravens all have to start in reserves, but you must deploy at least 3 of your 6 remaining units on the board, outside their Ravens.
Obviously, that's going to cause some problems.
I think you'd find it hard finding someone who'd put up with that list.
you do not have to start them on the board if they are going in something that must come in from reserves...Drop pod armies would be silly if 1/2 of them came in before their pods...Quote:

Challenge = the end for orks...nobs Die in challenges...lemartes killed 3 nobs in challenges and DC ate their boys...
Flyer on Flyer combat is cool...
Im not sure you can double up your Force Org like that.
I thought the second Force Org was for the second detatchment and that you cant ally 2 forces from the same Codex together.
Sonik, the BRB is very clear: as soon as you hit 2K points your force org doubles:
Minimum 2 HQs
Min 4 Troops
up to 6 Elites, Heavies, etc... I'm very excited about this!
Edit: sorry... you CAN take a 2nd force org... you are not required to... so, min 2 HQs if you decide to do this, etc...
That only applies to dedicated transports. Storm ravens are not dedicated so he would have to set up 3 units/IC's on the board and risk a first turn loss due to the words on page 122 (paraphrase) If you don't have any models on the board at the end of a game turn, you lose.Quote:
