Want a nice mobile army that can act as a fire base, but worried about lack of anti-tank in the army.
Thinking about dropping the sterns (plasma in there to fill up last 20p)
With the points from that i might drop in 2 more lasbacks and add in assault cannons to 1 or 2.

Other than that, still need ideas please.
Want a mobile army that has shooting potential.


Also, im keeping away from land raiders for now, seen a few 6 LR lists being used and it looks too boring and basic.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Added in: Just an after thought, but is it worth dropping the tac squads for assault squads?
Costs 10 more per unit, but i then get 35 points off the razor.
Meaning i could upgrade 4 of them (2 more las, 2 assault cannons)

Looks very mono-dimensional to me.
BA makes is possible.
Not really my playing style.

I guess this still beats my 11 dread list lol.
Just wanted to theme an army, rather than mash a mix of the best possible units.

Well, this list has too less anti-tank to take on 11 Dreads.

I would drop the sternguard to make the razor weapons assault cannons instead.

Keep 2 baal preds but ditch the normal preds and the single one. Get a death company and some sanguinary guard. Most of this can be done in the vanilla marines codex. I can not think of another list that would be less fun to play than this. Sorry but I want to physically hurt this list.

Death company are a point sink as they are, upgrade them and they really get steep, give them jump packs and your down a few hundred points on a unit that will take priority in shooting.

Sang guard arent bad, but with only 5 models to a unit, they tend to crumble against large units.
Its all well and good trying to pick out targets, but against armies like orks there isnt much you really can fight that wont swamp you.

Also, this kind of kills off the whole feel of the army.
If i were to take sang guard, it would be with dante and a priest to make sure its effective.


However, since im going with themed armies, what about this instead:


Librarian - 100

Elite:

Furioso: Librarian - 175
Furioso: Blood talons - 125
Furioso: frag cannon - 125

Troop:

25 Death company - 500
Death company dreadnought: blood talons - 125
Death company dreadnought: blood talons - 125
Death company dreadnought: blood talons - 125
Death company dreadnought: blood talons - 125
Death company dreadnought: blood talons - 125

Heavy:

Dreadnought: plasma cannon - 115
Dreadnought: TL autocannon x2 - 120
Dreadnought: plasma cannon - 115

2,000

Lol. No scoring units. It's all very well having a themed army but if you can't have a good game against anyone then whats the point.

Did i say i was going for a basic tournie army?
If i wanted that, then i would start stacking hammers and priests into raiders.
But i hate the basic cookie cutter lists.


Who says i need to have a scoring unit in an army?
KP wise it isnt bad.
Ive also got enough force in that army to push units off of an objective.

I just want an army that will be amusing to play, and give me a chance to spend time painting / converting.




Nothing worse than an unpainted army straight out of a box.
