Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Blood Angels (section)

====Codex Relics====
*'''Archangel's Shard:''' Replaces a power sword or master-crafted power sword.  If the target is a {{W40Kkeyword|monster}}, the damage is 1d3; if it's a {{W40Kkeyword|daemon monster}}, it's 1d6. Otherwise, it's a power sword. Not really good, and since you can only take so many relics this will probably stay on the shelf. A master-crafted power sword has better stats in the first place, so that further limits what you want to replace. Only really worth even considering if your opponent has a {{W40Kkeyword|daemon monster}}; against normal monsters, this is ever so slightly worse than upgrading a standard power sword to a master-crafted one, making this relic "worth" maybe 6 points if you're feeling generous - very meh.
*'''Angel's Wing:''' Jump Pack only. Re-roll failed charge rolls, and cannot be [[Raven Guard|overwatched]]. [[Awesome|EXCUSE YOU!?]] This one is probably an easy best, edging out Veritas Vitae only by just how it's way easier for every other army to get CP back than to spend a relic for it; lets you make a downright terrifying Blood Angel Banshee or [[MURDERWINGS]].  Put this on a Jump Librarian with Quickening, Unleash Rage, and a Force Sword, and toss at whatever offends you, or commit like you mean it, and put it on a Death Company Jump Captain with a Thunder Hammer (see above).
*'''Gallian's Staff:''' Force staff that gives a +1 to manifesting smite; not terrible, as Smite is always useful for Mortal Wounds, but inferior to the White Scars relic that does the same thing, as theirs doesn't force you to carry a force staff - because this one does, you can't put it on a Primaris Librarian or a Librarian Dreadnought.
*'''Hammer of Baal:''' Thunder hammer with no penalty to hit. For Sx2 AP-3 D3 with no penalties to hit, this is a surprisingly killy relic. S8 (S10 if there's a Blood Chalice nearby; consult the Designers' Commentary, Question 1, if you're wondering why), with the Red Thirst improving your wound rolls by +1, will ensure that you can wound almost anything without much difficulty.  Hardly an auto-include, especially since the base hammer costs ''40'' points (since only a character can carry a relic) and a captain especially doesn't mind the base to-hit penalty enough to really warrant a relic slot, but fairly punchy.
*'''Standard of Sacrifice:''' Ancients only. Grants FnP 5+++ to non-Death Company Bikers and Infantry within 6" of the bearer. Solid choice, especially if paired with Hammernators, Sanguinary Guard, or a Primaris gunline; it can make for a terrifyingly durable unit that can mulch through anything with the banner's re-rolls. Who says they got rid of Death Stars?  Stacks with Gift of Foresight, although the latter won't let you re-roll 1s for the former. (Note you can't stack it with Gift of Foresight and Death Vision of Sanguinius since it gives you the Death Company keyword.)Unfortunately only benefits each ''model'' within 6", not each ''unit''. So no giving your entire gunline a 5++ FNP. Still, a 6" bubble covers a LOT of models, especially if you're using a Primaris Ancient mounted on a 40mm base. Also remember you get to choose which models you allocate wounds towards - so obviously pick the ones that are protected by the Standard.
*'''Veritas Vitae:''' When using a Stratagem, roll a d6; you gain a CP on a 5+. Yes, even your Stratagems have Feel no Pain. Easily the best of the bunch; a 33.33% chance to get a CP back after you spend 1-3 on a Stratagem by merely '''existing''' on the field makes the one of the best Relics in the whole game. The only relic a librarian dreadnought can take besides Biomantic Sarcophagus. If you're using the multi-relic Stratagem and are taking this relic, make sure you've defined with your opponent what "before the battle" means - you can't recover CP with this until the model carrying it is deployed, so any CP spent prior to deployment are lost.  Also, be careful of armies with strictly superior variants of the same rule; the Imperial Guard, for example, have a Warlord Trait which does this on a per-CP basis, while yours only recovers 1 CP, no matter how expensive the Stratagem. So no IG or Eldar shenanigans.
** Always stick this on someone. BA have some of the best relics and Warlord traits around - you are going to burn through CP like no other, might as well squeeze a few free ones in, you will need them.
