I have gathered this information in my quest to better understand the many ways one can play Blood Angels. In my journeys I have gathered much information not only about Blood Angels, but indeed about many of the armies in 40K. The results of my ongoing efforts are posted here to aid you - may you find them useful, and may we all remember the many 40K gamers who have contributed their time and experience to making the articles on display here now for your benefit. ~ Brother Edward

3rd Edition Blood Angels Tactica
~ Still Useful in 4th Edition ~

~ While Warhammer 40,000 Fourth Edition has some notable differences to Third Edition, the overall tactics of Blood Angels verses the other 40K armies remains much the same. Some of the specifics have changed to be sure, but the larger themes of the various armies overall and our tactics in fighting them are very much as they were in Third Edition. With this in mind all of our Third Edition Tactica remains useful ~
