Drop the captain (super useless as you have him) to give the predators lascannon sponsons instead of the main gun (the autocannon is fine) and then use the last 60 points for a landspeeder with double heavy flamers. You are short on anti-horde and that should put a hurting on some boys or gaunts.

Strong list though, tbh.

I'll second this. 2 HQs at 1750 isn't necessary, even superflious. *If* you wanna keep Cap, then give him a Relic Blade *or* PowerSword and Bolt Pistol (for the Add'l h2h attack). Also, IMHO, the T-Armored Chap belongs in 4th ed. Go with the P.Armored Chap, who has one more h2h attack, and can Sweep Advance when his Termie buddies can't.

That said, I'd go for choice #3: the libby is the 5e king of SM HQs, being that you need the anti-Psy he can bring to hobble many new codexes with their psy-goofery.

I would give 2 or 3 of the terminators lightning claws in that assault squad. You have enough guys with the shield that you can throw some power weapon wounds around, but also keep in mind that the land raider they're riding in will give them a lot of protection on the table.

Plus you'd have a lot more attacks at higher initiative in that squad with re-roll hit & wound.

I agree with taking out the captain and putting the two lascannon sponsons on two of the predators, but I would make one of them Autocannon/H.Bolter as well to increase your anti-infantry firepower.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. The captain is in there simply because i have him so i could easily take him out.

Taking in all the advice ive compiled a new list, i have changed the setup for the predators and added in 2 land speeders with heavy flamers for anti-horde.

Since its primary job is to be UPS/DHL, give it EA. This pretty much guarantees delivery. And why not a MM too?

Points? The Combi flamer ... and you don't have a pArmored Chap model, huh?

That is a pretty damn competitive list. I think it should serve you pretty well.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, but if you really do have the extra 25 points, give both land speeders a second heavy flamer. Keep them as separate units, btw.
Last 5 points for Melta Bombs on the chaplain.
