Well the only thing this list wont kill well is AV14. Watch out for land raider filled lists

... and Terminators lol.

Yeah, you have a lot of missiles, but god forbid you get into CC.

Yeah i would be worried about CC, and also why would you give sternguard missile launchers, I feel like it wastes their cool weapon ammos.

it would also be good to think of SW since they can split fire with their long fangs making missiles more deadly. maybe have a few close combat squads that can also deal with AV14, such as PF assault squads with melas, or some dreds.

Yeah i know av 14 will be hard but 33 missiles is alot and not even a landraider can take that many hits.

Yeah CC wont be fun but thats a problem for most shooty armys.

Sternguards have missiles cause they are cheap and i can score with them, this army is about how many missiles i can shoot each turn.

Thats alot of MLs, but even all those MLs will cause roughly 0.3 Imobilized results/turn so you would be boned vs a AV 14 list. It would be interesting to see how the list deals with horde with a the blasts flying everywhere . An interesting list though but I think some melta is necessary.

Sorry, but Space Wolves do missile spam far better, and they arent half bad in combat either.

How does it become better with wolves ? i have 5 scoring units in this army i thing that will be with puppies.

Sorry came off a bit like an douche there, the list is fine, only thing it lacks is CC power. But for a pure point missile ratio wolves do it better, mainly thanks to long fangs, and to a lesser extend loganwing troops with CML, who can also take care of CC duty if the enemy does close. Gimme a a sec and I'll write up a list.

The list i wrote up just now. Granted it could have more ML's (you could fit in 33 at 2000 too) but IMO its worth losing 6 ML's for better support and CC capabilities.

I see your point.

Mine was mostly a test how many kraks i could get and its alot.

One thing i like more with my list is that i can grab objectives with my rhinos. but your list is nice too you gave me some headache here

Your list is probably the best vanilla missile spam I've seen

Space wolves are different though, they do some things better and vanilla do other things better (and then BA, templars etc)

Thx.

Yeah its abit different but you got me going here iam going to check if i can get some terminators with cyclones in.

You can save points and get more bang for your buck if those Devs become Typhoon speeders.

for thesame cost for a 5 man Dev squad that is totally nekkid you can get an AV10 skimmer with a heavy 2 missile launcher AND a heavy bolter that can move 12" a turn and lay down an obscene amount of fire.

lol that is a bit mutch with the ml's. Makes me I had more ml armed models.

I think Demons would tear this army apart as would an alpha-strike force. Other than that, it looks interesting. Try it out and give us a battle report!

How exactly would daemons beat this with an alpha strike?

they would beat it because there really isn't much anti-infantry aside from bolters and frag blasts.

the deamons would then be close enough to assault next turn.

and the marines couldn't move if they wished to shoot the missiles at the deamons.

Sorry, I meant that Daemons would tear this apart, and, additionally, an Alpha Strike army would beat it.

Daemons because there's not enough anti-infantry.

An Alpha Strike because it could quickly neutralize the Devastators and taking out the Sterguards's Rhinos would seriously quickly limit this lists mobility. Although, maybe the Typhoons would be enough.

oh yeah my bad just realised I read it wrong

if I was playing daemons with this I'd block their movement with the speeders and pummel them with frags.

An alpha strike would at best kill all the devs and suppress the typhoons, leaving only the sterns missiles to fire back. No point alpha striking the sterns as you have to first kill the rhino then kill 3 guys before you start killing off ML's.

This would be hilarious to watch going up against a pure mech army. I play mech marines and not that many lists scare me. This one terrifies me. My only solace if i got paired with you in a tournament is the fact you would get stomped in an alpha strike hopefully after you turn my side of the board into a parking lot. Its awesome if your meta is mech heavy but not balanced by any stretch.

I did this list to check how many kraks i could fit not going to play it in a tounament but mech marines should be afraid of it.
