"They still fear me. Even outnumbered and armed only with a shattered axe, they still fear me. I can smell it in their sweat, hear it in their voices, and see it it their wide eyes that reflect the flames."

Special Units

The Death Company

The Death Company are Blood Angels Hearthguard but Gain the Following Special Rules

Rule of One: There can Only be a Single Group of Death Company, If you Purchase Three Units of Death Company they Must be Deployed as a Single 6 Man Unit.

Black Rage: When a Death Company Unit is Activated the Opponent can Decide to Force them to Either Charge or Move towards the Nearest Enemy Unit (Controlling Players Choice). If they do this then the Blood Angels Player Gains One Red Thirst Token.

Doomed: Death Company Cannot Hold Objectives

Scout Snipers

Scout Sniper – Warriors 1 Point

Armour 3 (3)

Aggression 1/2 (1/2)

Sniper, Concealment, Loyal.

Sniper Rifle

SNIPER: Snipers may fire at 24 Inch Range as normal but the target counts as being in one level better cover than they actually are at all ranges over L. Instead the Snipers can make a special snipe attack at range L. Roll dice as usual (no bonus’s of any kind can be used but fatigue may be used as normal) and for each 6 rolled reduce the target unit’s armour by 1 (1) for the remainder of the turn.

CONCEALMENT: This unit always counts as being in cover one level above what it is actually in.

Chaplain – Hero, Any Lieutenant may be a Chaplain in which case they gain the “Litanies of Vengeance” Special Rule. In Addition You can Take an Two Groups of Death Company if Your Force Includes One or More Chaplains.

RULE: Litanies of Vengeance: At the Start of the Turn if the Chaplain is not Exhausted and Within M of an Enemy Unit Gain One Red Thirst Token.

Terminator – Saga Dice 1

Armour 5 (5)

Aggression 8

Imposing Presence, Slow, Resilience (2), Loyal, Veteran of the First Company.

Veteran of the First Company: When the Terminator uses an enemy Unit’s Fatigue Marker in Melee, increase the Terminators Armour by 1 and Decrease the Enemies Armour by 1 for Each Fatigue Used. A 6 always hits and a 1 always fails.

"In such dire circumstances, lesser warriors could perhaps have ceded all hope, yet these were Space Marines of the Blood Angels Chapter, the sons of honoured Sanguinius. Their forebears have fought beside the Emperor in the very blackest of days, and that memory was not theirs to dishonour".

I dont really know anything about 40k and Blood Angels but this looks good for a battle board

Do all the units generate Saga dice?
