Just an idea for an extreme friend, what do you think about it?

HQ - Shrike. 195
HQ - Chaplain - jump pack. 115
EL - Sternguard Veterans (10x) - Serg. w/PF - 6x Combi-meltas - 3x Combi-plasmas - drop pod. 355
EL - Sternguard Veterans (10x) - Serg. w/PF - 6x Combi-meltas - 3x Combi-plasmas - drop pod. 355
TR - Scouts (5x) - Serg. w/Power weapon & Bolt Pistol - 4x Combat Blade & Bolt Pistol - LSS w/MM. 155
TR - Scouts (5x) - Serg. w/Power weapon & Bolt Pistol - 4x Combat Blade & Bolt Pistol - LSS w/MM. 155
TR - Scouts (5x) - Serg. w/Power weapon & Bolt Pistol - 4x Combat Blade & Bolt Pistol - LSS w/MM. 155
TR - Tactical Marines (10x) - Serg. with no option - Flamer+ML - drop pod. 205
FA - Vanguard Veterans (5x) - Serg. w/double LC - 4x w/double LC - 5x jump packs. 310

Obviously the Vanguard Vets. will join the Chaplain and Shrike with:
- 5x attacks I5 S4 reroll to hit and to wound - no armor saves allowed (Shrike);
- 4x attacks I4 S4 reroll to hit - no armor saves allowed (Chaplain);
- 20x attacks I4 S4 reroll to hit and to wound - no armor saves allowed.
Infiltrating, running and assaulting thanks to Fleet.

Almost same thing for the Scouts unit, scouting with the 3 MM-LSS will be able to choose if just shooting or combining assaults with other units.

The 2 Sternguards pods will land immediately and combat squad to split the combi-meltas vs different armoured targets.

Finally, when reserves rolls decide it, the Tacticals will land close to an Obj.



Just a bad nightmare or something with a reasonable % of competitiveness?

I wouldn't really expect the Scouts to do a fat lot, but the list seems interesting is all I can say. Nothing else really springs to mind, for once

Shame SM scouts aren't quite as good as Space wolves ones....

I have Shrike in my army, and until a week ago, completely forgot that he could do first turn assault...shame hes not with a unit in my army :(



Your list, if the scouts can do enough damage, it might work, but can't really give you much in the way of advice, because you obviously want/need that scout element....

Of course SM Scouts are really a crappy solution. Just funny for the first turn option but after that..

He love the theme that's sure.. I'll adviced him to exchange at least 2 Scout units for some other member in the Vanguard Vets unit but this will drop him down to just 2 troops unit. And one of that, defensively, is just hilarious..

I'd put some Meltabombs on the scouts to give you more options on turn 1. Anyone who deploys anything against this army is insane though, then that forces you into a tough spot with your all or nothing 1st turn charge...
