Hi!

So I am having a battle with my friend soon who plays Ultramarines (DEATH TO THE GULLIMAN!). All I know about his list is he has 1500 points of ultramarines including that storm talon thing they fly and a Imperial knight.

I am gonna push for a city battle when we do this and for this battle I decided to make a lore friendly word bearers army. It's not very competitive but I just wanted to see what people thought.

Hq

Dark Apostle (gotta have one for Word bearers)

-black mace

150 pts

Chaos lord

-Mark of Khorne (to justify it he is possessed by a herald of khorne bound to my Dark apostles will)
Axe of blind Fury
Melta bombs
sigil
VOTLW

145 pts

Elites

Hellbrute (I like the way i have him painted the only reason he is here.)

100pts

Troops (gone with MSU to zip between buildings and try avoid the deaded twin battle cannon of the imperial knight)

Csm x5 with plasma gun 90pts
Csm x5 with plasma gun 90pts
Csm x5 with flamer,close combat weapons 88pts
Csm x5 with flamer,close combat weapons 88pts

Fast attack

Chaos spawn x 3
Raptors x 5 melta,metla bomb 120pts


Daemon allies

Herald of Khorne greater locus of Fury, 55 pts
Herald of Nurgle greater locus of fecundity, lesser reward for etherblade

Plague bearers x 20 Plague banner

What do you guys think?

I was thinking that if I take the blob of ranged cultists and give the dark apostle the burning brand instead, I could have a close range fearless blob of las guns and burning brand.
