I am trying to make a 10th Company list. I dont want to run any/a lot of power armored dudes. Just a bunch of carapace armored dudes with Bolters. According to the army list builder that GW runs I can only have 3 squads of 10. Is there any way around this? Does anyone have a good list made?

Unofrtunately, the only (non Legends!) unit that fits that bill is Scouts, and you can only take, as mentioned, three squads of 10.

For what it's worth though, the 10th Company also includes Phobos Marines - things like Infiltrators, Incursors, Eliminators, and Reivers - and they all have bolter-style weapons! Those are all fluffy for a 10th company list, and if you really didn't like the power armour, you could always proxy them, and take some slightly up-armoured Scouts and convert them!

You might still lack a bit when it comes to armour and anti-tank, but the Phobos Librarian is fun IMO, and the Lieutenant with combi-weapon also wears Phobos Armour.

I think a lot of the old 10th co. stuff is still available in legends, but not in the army builder.

Opening the door to phobos armor in addition to carapace opens a lot of doors to making a balanced list.

So this is what I came up with…

My inquisitor is a stand in for “Telion”. The retinue represent the chapter serfs. It’s got a lot of filler in the list.

Yeah… that doesn’t scream “10th company” to me.
An Astraeus and a Knight is a LOT that’s not recon or stealthy.

Yeah I know. I tried to put some filler in there with points.

For 10th company theme lists, see if you can have everything not scouting in reserve.

So you got the sneaky guys doing their thing, scouting objectives, etc. then BAM! Terminators zap in, flyers streak overhead, drop pods land.

Unless you’re willing to add Phobos Marines, I don’t think you can make a 10th Company feeling list at 2k.

Including Legends, you could go:

Sergeant Tellion: 70pts
Scout Squad 10x3: 390pts
Land Speeder Storm x6: 420pts
Scout Snipers 10x3: 450pts
Scout Bikers 6x3: 450pts

That gives you 1780, you could put in 3 more Land Speeder Storms for full scout dedication to take you to 1990 and have some of the snipers in there too. Or do a Whirlwind or something for calling in artillery from your scouts.

I was working towards something like this myself but them killing the ranges has made these a lot harder to come by. :( If you can find the Land Speeder Storms though, you can leave the back empty and convert them into an extra 5 scouts for value.

Yeah I saw that. Those miniatures are harder to come by and I do not want to invest in something that GW will eventually just have disappeared. It would be cool to rock 6 squads of scouts, it sounds really cool .
