Here is a list i made for a possible campaign my friends and i may play. I wanted something fast and fun to play. I also made a few lists from 750pts and up but this is the 1850 list. Maybe im dreaming but this list seemed like it would be a ton of fun to play. I will be using it against eldar and AM. Any feedback would be awesome.

All this adds up to 1850pts

So to lay it out, the bike iron priest will run with the ravenwing command squad and Sammael will be with that same squad. Harald and the 2nd iron priest will be with the TWC. First turn everything will move forward. The command squad will probably turbo boost and the wolves will run. The grave bike squads will hopefully get some shots on. 2nd turn more than likely shooting with the ravenwing command squad then assaulting. Thunderwolf calvary will assault as well if possible.

I feel this brings a nice balance between melee and shooting but as i said earlier maybe im just dreaming haha.

I did have an idea to switch the powerfists on the ravenwing bike squads for combi cravs plus melta bombs just not sure which would be best


***just updated it to remove the powerfists from the sargents and put combi gravs and melta bombs on them instead. Also added 1 more cyberwolf to each iron priest with the extra points***

Hard to justify the power Fists on the bike Sarges, they only get one attack. Yes, combi grav and or melta bombs

Very powerful list... My buddy plays a similar list and only true threats to it are flying circus and flyrantspam... He does very well against almost anything else

Would it be worth trying to squeeze in a 2nd darkshroud or dropping the one i have there for more bikes? Or keep it as is?

I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I think two darkshrouds are good if you take the Support Squad formation of land speeders w/ Typhoon launchers. But without that formation holding it at 48" stand-off range, it's easy to keep one member of a bike squad within 6" of the dark shroud at the center of the board (until they assault!).

The dark shroud works very well solo... It's a rather low priority target with so much else rushing them so early

Ok, i think this is my final rendition of this list
