Hi so I wanted to build a competitive list that I could bring to a tourney if I wanted to and also could show those necrons whose boss using my lovely marines. Here is the list:

Chapter Tactics: Ultramarines

Gladius strikeforce:

Battle company:

Chaplain w/ mb, auspex
Captain w/ artificer armour, auspex, ps
6x5 man tac squads in razorbacks
Devastator squad w/ 4 lc in razorback
Devastator Centurion squad w/ grav and omnispex
2x Attack bikes w/ mm

Storm Wing:

Storm raven w/ tl mm, tl lc
Stormtalon w/ tl ac, skyhammer missile launcher
Stormtalon w/ tl ac, skyhammer missile launcher

Allied detachment:

Hq:
Tiggy

Troops:
Scouts w/ snipers, cc

Fast Attack:
Drop pod

Tiggy rolls once on divination and swaps power for prescience then rolls next two on telepathy and rerolls for invisibility, he goes with centurions in drop pod for centstar. Scouts and devastators hold backfield objectives attack bikes outflank and try take late objectives/hurt a veichle. Army core pushes up with captain and chaplain using auspexes to reduce cover from grav. Stormwing blows up veichles (stomtalons light to medium, storm raven heavy) and add the crucial anti-air.

How could I make the captain and chaplain less point sinks and actually useful and where are my weaknesses, where and how can I improve them.

You could drop tiggy to a regular libo and change the chapter tactics which is better for the cents.

Maybe white scars for hit and run (they get charged a lot...) or raven guard for shrouded turn 1 (if you started on foot)

You could also take the captain and go shield eternal, art, and drop him with the cents to tank wounds.

The chaplain is a sink either way.

Heres just some ideas.

Remove Tiggy. Replace with telion. Remove grav cannon from devs replace with 4 heavy bolters. Place tellion with them - you have rending heavy bolters.

This give you points to beef up captain and some change- sheild eternal - drop with cents. Drop attack bike - take assualt squad - get another razorback.

Surely grav is more painful than rending hb and how can I change the chapter tactics on the cents because ultramarines chapter tactics are really useful and tiggy has a good chance of innvisibility.

I might need to double check the rules, but I thought Telion can only join scout squads because of his scout sergeant rule. How does he join the dev squad?

Iron hands wouldn't be the worst idea in the world either, for all that iwnd on your razorbacks, characters, and the cent sergeant

You cant take allies with the same CT as the main army so no Tiggy for the grav cents if you go with UM CT. Get Loth instead I guess. WS is also good for hit n run and the ability to ignore cover on those grav cents (with the relic).

Also, I would consider spreading the points of the devastator las cannons around a little. The cost of a devastator lascannon is the same as the upgrade cost from TLHB to LasPlas or TLLC on the razorback.

The Grav cents are also very vulnerable to being tarpited with the current setup. WS would give you hit n run on them as well. That said, Im not really sure they are worth it without a proper tank since they will be very vunerable to ID.

So, yeah.

a) Can't bring the same Chapter in an AD if there's already another Detachment with the same Chapter Tactics (=Faction)
b) You can't have your Warlord in an Allied Detachment
c) Telion can only join Scouts, but:
d) Storm of Fire can target any friendly unit of the same Chapter(!) within 12, so there's no need for Telion to join Devastator Squads
e) Tigurius on the other hand has the SAME warlord trait, and he's not limited to joining Scouts. And he's a ML3 psyker that rerolls failed psy tests. And denies most psy on 4+. But, once again: Your WL can't be from an Allied Detachment.
f) Razorbacks don't get IWND , only vehicles with Chapter Tactics do - unless you houseruled it.
