Well I kind of moved near Toronto, actually.

Here is a marine list idea using the new rumours.

2x Ironclad dreads in Drop pods.
Honour Guard with probably a Chaplain in a Drop pod.
Scout Landspeeder thing with 5 guys.

10 Scouts, maybe with the Old Scout.
At least one techmarine. Possibly a Master of the Forge. Servitors using the +1 Cover.

For Troop I was thinking of adding two Combat Squad Las/plas.

That takes me to about 1400 points. In 1850 I need about 450 more. If I ditch the Scouts, which I probably will it's about ... 600.

If I want Vehicles I can take a Venerable Dread and two Preds. I can also take ... this is points over ... a Venerable Dread and two Land Raiders. Or I can take one triple las Pred and one LR, possibly a Crusader. Or I can take a couple Razorbacks. Basically have three or four vehicles down, and two dropping plus the drop pods themselves. I have two lascannons in tac squads and the two vehicles. I can also take two MM/HF Landspeeders.

And if I don't load up on vehicles I will want a counter charge/ shock assault Assault squad.

Thoughts?

I really think the Honour Guard are cool. I like the mix of combis, power weapons and 3+ invulnerables. I like the idea of a triple las pred and a normal LR. I could park the triple las pred beside the Techmarine in +1 Cover, for example. "ooooooooo"

Don't take a chap, they are gak in 5th ed SM dex. WS4, A2, I4, W2. Not worth taking. Master/Special Character, those are probably your best bets.

I'd take a Triple las pred, and a LRC for the Honor Guard. Don't know about the scouts. They are BS/WS3 I think, and elites. I'd drop them. Drop Pod the dreads, then whatever points you have left spend on 10 man las/plas squads.

Looks like Honour Guard and Command Squads may be only for Captains and Chapter Masters. Hmm.

Hmm. Chaplains are still WS5 but yeah 2 attacks. I might take a Chaplain with new Assault veterans and give them a fancy name, if they can still assault the turn they deep strike.

The Scout Landspeeder thing is Fast Attack.

Drop pod assault is NASTY. Turn 1 2/4 Drop Pods land, 2x Ironclads open up with Heavy Flamers. Burn Tau Burn!!!!!
