Lokking for some help building a tournament style list using the Lions Blade and Ravenwing Strikeforce. This is what I have come up with so far

Lions Blade

Company master with Combi grav

Command squad with apothecary, 3 storm shields , 4 grav, sacred standard, pod

3x5 tacticals plasma gun, pod

5 assault marines, 2 flamers,pod

5 devastators, 2 heavy bolters

Ravenwing assault squadron

3 bikes, 2 meltas

Landspeeder 2 heavy bolters

Ravenwing Strike force

Libby, bike, ml2

command squad 5 bikes, apothecary

3x 3 bikes, 2 grav

I want to make a list that will stand a chance against lists such as the gladius. Plan with the lions blade is to pod in on objectives and just be an annoyance. Ravenwing zooms around going for objectives. How could i improve this list? Its exactly 1850 as is.

!. im assuming that your devs are coming on with a pod? IF so i would try to get cataphractii armour and some grav cannons on the devs. get the spare upgrades from knocking down 2nd command squad. If he cant then give him a storm sheild and tank shots. 6 snap firing HB shots wont do much.

2. why have plasma at 15pts that kill yourself when you can have just as many shots at ap2 immobilize vehicles on 6s and wounds things based on the armour save. It seems grav is better. But I would go for melta.

3. i dont thunk the drop command squad is a very good idea. I would rather go for the CAD ultramarines get tiggy and grav cents

that's really lean; not a point wasted. Maybe there's some ideas there for you.

You know, I've always thought of the LBSF as junk... but when I look at it from THAT angle... it looks good.
