Blade of the Angels – 40k's Next Unbelievable List?

 

Yet more proof that 40K Formations have officially jumped the shark? Come see the new Dark Angels ‘Green Tide’.

This list is based on the Space Marine ‘Blue Tide‘ of the same name. It revolves around a simple idea – being able to use Formations to get free stuff is awesome, so we should get AS MUCH of it as possible.

This army isn’t sexy, in fact it’s all dull meat and potatoes units.  But, thanks to the ‘miracle’ of the Lions Blade Strike Force fielding dual Demi-companies, this entire force is both Objective Secured and fields a SHOCKING 33% free units.

Let’s say that again, in a 1000pt game, you will have at lease 1500pts of units on the table.  In a 2000pt game, you will be fielding at least 3000pts versus your opponents 2000.

This army doesn’t win by fancy maneuvering, it wins by sheer attrition, and objective swarming.
