Well, I think you eventually have to let something go. I just can't figure out how to make the sanguinary guard list work against anything that is remotely balanced. I took the Nipple Wing out again tonight and got utterly smashed by a balanced Mephiston led BA list. We played an 1,850pt. annihilation game and my opponent took:
Librarian, unleash rage, Shield of Sang,
Mephiston
Sanguinary Priest
7 AssaultTerminators, 3THs, Crusader, EA, MM
10 Assault Marines,2x melta, PF
5 Assault Marines,melta, infernus pistol
5 Assault Marines, lc/plas Razorback, HK, meltagun
5 Assault Marines, lc/plas Razorback, HK, meltagun
5 Assault Marines, lc/plas Razorback, HK, flamer
I dropped a sanguinary priest and some bits from my vanguard vets to get down to 1,850pt.
So, basically my opponent played well. He played like a competitive gamer and castled in the corner to wait for me. I was dumb and tried to come at him. Then the dice didn't go my way. I should have refused him and let him come to me. Oh well. This pic give you an idea of how it went.
In the end, I just don’t think that this will work out. The list doesn’t have quite a few things that it needs and I am way too competitive to keep playing with a terrible list just because it is theme-y and looks cool. Don't get me wrong, as you have read in previous posts, I like theme-y armies and have fun with them, but if it can't win at all, then it just won't work.
That leaves me trying to figure out a new theme for the list while trying to make it somewhat competitive. Here are a couple of things I want, Sanguinary Guard, As many jump packs or flying things or flying things as possible. I want a list that plays completely different from any that I currently play with (Space Wolves, Black Templar, Vulkan Marines), so if you have any ideas, let me know.
