My Utramarine & Blood Raven Space Marine army, as of November 2011. Hence, the Blood Rave\Ultramarine Joint Strike Force! Full Army Photo and the Orks, who were drawn to conflict. After the events of Dawn of War 2, when the Blood Ravens in the Aurelia system had been decimated by the Tyranid invasion, the Ultramarines repaid the debt of honor by deploying a company to assist the Blood Ravens with rebuilding, as well as helping to destroy the remanants of the now feral Tyranids. During the first Dawn of War game (Winter Assault, specifically), there was a point where the Blood Ravens chapter assisted the Ultramarines with escorting a Land Raider. So, I have a joint task force, comprised of Ultramarines (which were my first army) and Blood Ravens (which came later.įluffwise, I think there is even a reasonable way to make it work. The best way to make it easy to remember, I thought, would be 2 different factions within a side.
It sounds unwieldy but in practice it works very well. each player on the Marine side gets a tactical squad, a dreadnought, etc. The best way to do it is we have a normal 1500 point deployment on each side, and each faction is split in more-or-less 2: i.e. We tend to play 4 players at a time, 2 on each team. I typically play with 3 friends, out of which 3 have absolutely no models. Here is the background on my Space Marines.
