my current list looks like this

Captain
power weapon -115

10 man tac
1 ML
1 Flamer
1 Sarge w/ chainsword and bolt pistol
Razorback w/ TLHB - 210

10 man tac
1 ML
1 Melta
1 sarge w/ chainsword and bolt pistol -175

Total - 500

I don't really know what to add. I'm planning on expanding even further so i want some good all round units. I was thinking about adding

Tactical Squad
1ML
1Flamer
1sarge w/ chainsword and bolt pistol -170

1 terminator assault squad -200

dreadnought
missile launcher
TLLC -145

and dropping the captain for

librarian -100

Total - 1000

The 500 point list is almost impossible to tweak beyond the configuration you have it. Leave it as is.

For the 1k list:

Drop the Terminator Assault Squad. At such a low point value, they're taking up 20% of your points. And that's for five guys. Not a good trade off. In addition, to be truly effective they need minimum of a normal Land Raider so they can get into the fight faster and not be shot up since they're footslogging.

All Tac squads need Rhinos. Why? Firing points. They're absolutely crucial. I too first thought Razorbacks were great because it's basically a Rhino with a huge weapon on top, but that's not really the case. Tac squads want to stay inside of their Rhino when shooting so they don't be exposed. And once you get additional vehicles, you provide target saturation. This is crucial because if your Rhinos are the only vehicles you have fielded, they're going to be targeted first.

The Dread has two very different roles with the ML and TL Lascannon. One is tank hunting (TL Lascannon) while the other is versatile. You should keep the standard loadout so it is a counter charge unit and can be a tarpit, as well as killing a vehicle here and there.

Other then that, for your Librarian powers, ALWAYS pick Null Zone. The Vanilla codex is the only one with such a power. The second one is your choice, but I suggest The Avenger as it's another template weapon.

I agree with AresX8, drop the Assault terminators even as a Black Templar with perferred enemy I don't find a great use for them until I'm above 1500 points.

Build your core 1000 first, Rhinos are definitely a great aid.

MK, so i revised the list



Librarian
Null zone/(whatever else) -100

10 man Tac Squad
1flamer
1ML
1sarge w/ CS and BP
Rhino -205

10 man Tac Squad
1melta
1ML
1sarge w/ CS and BP
Rhino -210


10 man Tac Squad
1flamer
1ML
1sarge w/CS and BP
Rhino -205

Dreadnought
ML and TLLC -145

Ironclad Dreadnought
CCW and Chainfist -135

that equals 1000 even.

that way i got all 3 tacs in rhinos, a ironclad for counter charge, and the other dread for tank killing.

Looks much better. great start to a full 2k list. That's when you ass the assault terminators and LR.
