The general idea for these lists is for the IF Space Marines to hold our half of the board. The Tank Hunter Dev's and Tactical Squads can Combat Squad, depending on circumstances. The Librarians can attach to the Dev's, a Combat Squad in a Rhino, or with the Sternguard in the suicide drop-pod (my non-warlord Libby, of course).

The Dev's will probably be using the BA's Defense Line and Quad Gun to sit on an objective.

I'm planning on combat squadding the Lascannon Tactical Squad, allowing the lascannon to sit on our side of the board and the Plasmagun combat squad to roll around the board. The Melta/MultiMelta squad probably will not combat squad, and can run around the board as needed.

Stormtalons will come in and do Stormtalon stuff.

The Sternguard will be dropping down Turn 1 to slag the most expensive thing on the board with their combi-meltas. The Death Company Dreadnought will also be dropping to cause havoc.

Hopefully the Sternguard and Dreadnought will cause enough trouble allowing the Blood Angel's Land Raider and Vindicators to advance across the board and do damage. Those Death Company will have a ridiculous amount of attacks off the charge, and the BA's librarian will be going with them. The Vindicators are Fast vehicles, allowing them to move 12" and still fire their demolisher cannons.

So what's the general feeling on this list? Should we consider swapping anything out? I know it doesn't involve a gigantic amount of drop pods or any bikes - but we think it will be a lot of fun. We have plenty of anti-tank between the Lascannons, Missile Launchers, Meltas, Stormtalons, and Vindicators. Anti-Horde we have Vindicators, Missile Launchers, and Bolters that re-roll 1's to hit. Anti-air we have the Quad Cannon and the Stormtalons.

Thanks, and good luck!

Bump. Any feedback? Which Psychic tables do you think we should be using for our Librarians?

One last try. Any thoughts?
