White Scars CT

Librarian with Force sword, boltpistol, psychic hood, frag and krak grenades, Psyker (Mastery Level 2) and Space Marine bike .......110 points

Command Squad...................210 points

4 Veterans with Grav Guns
1 Apothecary with Narthecium
the entire squad has frag grenades, krak grenades and bikes with TL-bolters

TOTAL: 320 points

I realize its not really fair to compare cross codexes but for comparison sake:
you can take 3 armored sentinels with plasma cannons for 225 points.
3 devil dogs for 360 points
2 leman russ with sponsons for 340 points
3 griffons for 225
you can take 6 chimeras as dedicated transports for 350

I am just making the point that that is a ton of points to tie up in one unit.

It is indeed a case of eggs in 1 basket but god help me it is a fun unit. iv tried it with a bike captain, and it erases a lot of units. as well as in cc.

Iron Hand IWND only helpts the CM. Having a 1 worse jink on the rest of my team....is worse?

In the current meta having a 4+ invulnerable save is better than a 3+ cover save due to the amount of ignores cover about.

DA libby with PFG + EW IWND iron hands CM is the best option for survivability.

One thing I forgot to add to the unit is giving the HQ (who has access to Special Issue Wargear) an Auspex.

Because of its limited range, it works great with the bikes and grav guns combination.

Watch those marines behind cover suddenly only being allowed a 5+ cover save.
