I posted this as an example of using Sicarious in a force for GBF over in 40K Tactics, I thought I'd toss it in the bin here and see what you master listbuilders think about it.

There are better armies out there at the 2250 pt level.

How does this army deal with 30 Terminators, two full Nob Biker mobz, double lash Plague Marine spam, Nidzilla?

This Sicarius force have the comparative benefit of not making your opponent go: "Oh, another [insert derogatory nickname here]-list. You are so boring." It represents a versatile and interesting force that gives a lot of room for using several game-mechanics. I'd love to play against it.

I'll admit, I wrote this to play a friendly game, and I don't know exactly what it would do against those lists. I'd love to play some test games against them, just to see. Although, 30 Terminators and Plague Marines wouldn't be a huge problem with lots of lascannon and plasma, those cannons have taken out their fair share of BA Terminators... I imagine Nob Bikers would be rough indeed, but not insurmountable with tons of lascannon and plasma, three rocket launchers for infantry, and counter-assault by the command squad and assault squad. This would definitely play as an Earth style army, gunline tactics until turn 3-4, then RB squads would move out to claim the objectives. I think if nothing else, this army would be incredibly flexible, especially with the Veteran tricks Sicarious can deal out.

HAH! TOLD YA!

As an aside, looking back at this list, there are several things I'd take differently these days. I'll have to re-vamp this list and repost again soon.

But still! HAH! I'm cool cuz BoLS said so!
