Hello,

I am going to be going to a tournament this Saturday that is 1850pts. This tournament will be using the Maelstrom missions (we get to roll for the mission each match) and I am wanting to bring my Ultramarines to this tournament. When I was making this list, I was only making it with what I had to play with:

HQ: 290pts
Tigurius (would be rolling on Telepathy to try and get invisibility)
Librarian lvl 2 with terminator, power sword and storm shield

Elites: 140pts
Dreadnought with twin-linked autocannons and multi-melta

Troops: 855pts
Tactical x9 with sgt in a drop pod (multi-melta and flamer, sgt has combi-melta, meltabombs and chainsword)

Tactical x9 with sgt in a drop pod (multi-melta and meltagun, sgt has combi-melta, meltabombs and chainsword)

Tactical x9 with sgt in a rhino (missile launcher and flamer, sgt has chainsword, meltabombs and bolt pistol)

Tactical x9 with sgt in a razorback (missile launcher, sgt has chainsword, meltabombs and bolt pistol) razorback has lascannon and twin-linked plasma cannon and storm bolter

Fast Attack: 145pts
Stormtalon Gunship with twin-linked autocannon and typhoon missile launcher

Heavy Support: 420pts
Centurion Devestator all 3 using grav-cannon and grav-amp, omniscope on sgt and 3 chest missile launcher
Devestator Squad all 4 with plasma cannons

With this list, I figured I would stick Tigurius with the centurions and see if i can get invisibility to keep casting on them while they take out high priority targets. I can also have the Librarian go with either the devestators to keep giving them prescience while they shoot from the backline or I can run him with the centurions as well and have them be able to re-roll their missed hits.

I would have liked to use more drop pods than the rhino and razorback but I only have 2 available for the tournament. I am just curious what everyone thinks about this list, what could be used instead and what armies i could have problems with. For the tournament I have no idea what people would be using for their armies and this is also the first tournament I am going to be apart of.

I do have the following as well for space marines:

6 space marine bikes
5 assault marines
5 scouts with snipers
15 terminators (3 with the assault cannons rest with bolters)
2 chapter masters

Thanks for any feedback.

I think the only Liberian that can access Divination discipline is Tiggy himself, so you may have to let the other Liberian roll on telepathy tree.

Actually, IMHO, I think the perfect timing in divination is quite strong to be put on grav cent, as it let that weapon becomes ignore cover and Ap2, any monster lack an decent invunerable save would be killed.

If one of your Libby get invisibility, he is not necessary to be stick in the squad, because it is a blessing grant to a unit within 24inch.

If you footslog the cents, I think you may consider try to get Levitation from telekinesis discipline. IMHO, that may make your mini Death Star more scaring, since your grav cannon now get 42 inch threat range. (6 inch movement + 12 inch flying + 24 inch shooting range)

You could pobably drop the tac squad for a chapter master on a bike with shield eternal, yadda yadda yadda. It seems to me like you either have to go big or go home with the Centurion Star. So you can put him up front to tank any scary shooting for the cents since he has EW.
