Well, I have fallen behind in my army progress so I have to cut corners. So, here is my LVGT list, and my options for filling it out.

Here is the core of my list:

Inquisitor Lord w/Emperor’s Tarot, Psychic Hood, Null Rod, Psycannon, 2 Mystics, 2 Sages, 3 Familiars, 2 Gun Servitors w/Heavy Bolters, 1 Gun Servitors w/Plasma Cannon

9 Sisters of Battle w/Melta Gun, Heavy Flamer, Veteran Sister Superior, Book of St. Lucious, Rhino w/ EA and Smoke

9 Sisters of Battle w/Melta Gun, Heavy Flamer, Veteran Sister Superior w/Book of St. Lucious and Power Sword, Rhino w/ EA and Smoke

Exorcist w/ Extra Armor

Exorcist w/ Extra Armor

I have two possible options to add to it.

Possible add on #1
Elite Inquisitor w/Psycannon

Eversor Assassin

5 Storm troopers w/2 plasma guns Chimera w/Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter
5 Storm troopers w/2 melta guns Chimera w/Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter

Possible add in #2
5 Storm troopers w/2 plasma guns Chimera w/Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter
5 Storm troopers w/2 plasma guns Chimera w/Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter
5 Storm troopers w/2 melta guns Chimera w/Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter

Which option do you guys like better?

Psycannons are gold against fateweaver whom most deamon armies will toss out there. Though emperor's tarot I dont know how it will work with 5th edition.

Tarot either works (and is broken good) or doesn't do anything (like the Liber Heresius).

Who wants to vote it's number 2?

========================

What's scourging for?

Did you not notice the WH (or was it DH?) FAQ that limits the HQ to 1 as they are 'discrete units'? Only a special character lets you take one of each Lord choice.

Power sword on a VSS? Neat.

I think the Chimera choices are subpar.

This is 1750? Really? Man...I thought my army was thin. lol

Assassins are much harder to use now in 5E. The only real use the Eversor has now is to self-detonate into a horde, killing them off.

You are right. That is why I dropped my Calldus. The nerfing of the jump-back was bad enough, but what really kills them is the counter assault rule.

I thought I could run a Eversor. I need some counter assault, so I might put all of my eggs in a small and fragile basket. The Eversor can also infiltrate and come in from the sides for an 18” charge range. Plus they have melta bombs for those pesky vehicles that I can’t take out.

I vote for the 2nd option. One more Chimera is good.

I like Option 2. More Vehicles is good if your going mech and one more scoring unit.

Why Plasma guns instead of Meltas? With all the Land Raider Spam lists going around Meltas sound better.

How is she nerfed? According to the FAQ she can now jump out at the start of her turn and assault again. Seems pretty good to me...

Well, the way she use to work is that she would charge on her turn, and then jump back on her opponents turn to get out of assault. Then on her turn again she can shoot her gun, and charge another unit.

Now she charges and gets counter-charged. So even if she survives that, on her opponents turn she jumps out, and can just be charged again by the unit she just jumped away from.

I see what you mean. I used a Callidus in 4th and I've been using her in 5th as well, and so far she has done pretty well beating up devastators, broadsides and lootas. YMMV, of course.

I vote option 2 cause i am thinking of bringing my nurgle list! It will be great to see you again! (This is Patrick)

Evesor Assassin.

Cheap,
Brutal
Explodes taking the enemy with him which is even better now that the enemy gets to move up on the assault.
Melta Bombs,
Assault reach

You could go on and on with what this guy has to offer.
