No its illegally invisible to me,

Ahh I see the problem that you are heaving with this list. there are no words. Words are the best tools when building an army. 0 points per letter and they let you build an army!

Sorry i didn't know how this website worked,
I have corrected my post now if you could have another look please

Looks legal to me.

Nothing shouts out to me saying "illegal", though I will say that you have a lot of points sunk into your elites section at this points level.

Thanks for the help

Not illegal but very barebones. It'd probably be best to invest into more troops and less elites

Thanks for the tip

I don't have my codex on me, but I don't think the C:SM has the option for TL heavy bolters for the dread.

Nope, it's in there, perfectly legal ^^

I'm fairly certain to get a special weapon on a tactical squad you need 10 models in the squad. But maybe I'm wrong. And I'm certain the terminator points costs are off, 6 models =240 points, 3x chainfists = 15 points

Illegal - cannot have the flamer in the half a tac squad. You need 10 men to buy special weapons. (but then a flamer is free!)

It's illegal! Watch out, the cops are coming for you!!!!
Or maybe that won't...
Wait....

Hah, I forgot about that rule! So yea I retract my statement

I fail to see the use of the 5th marine in the one squad...

Looks legit otherwise...

In addition to being illegal (due to the Flamer in the Tactical Squad) and having the points wrong, the list is pretty bad.

Tactical Marines on foot is not a good idea.

Giving a Dreadnought a Heavy Bolter is silly. Trust me, Heavy Bolters are weak weapons unless you play Dark Eldar way more than is typical.

Those Terminators are screaming out for a Cyclone launcher.

Chapter Masters are a waste of points. You'd be better off with a regular Captain with a Relic Blade, or better yet, with a Librarian. A Librarian is always the default HQ choice.

Just to back up what I'm saying, I played a 1500 point game against a list a lot like this, just scaled up. Two squads of regular Terminators with no special weapon, a few Tac Squads on foot, a single Dreadnought, 5 Scouts with mixed weapons, 5 or 10 Assault Marines and 2 Captains. It was a slaughter. You plod around, and focused lists like mine with a lot of mobility (I play mech BA) fight whatever part of your army threatens me most and then tackle the rest.

IF my opponent had cut some of the near-useless stuff (the Scouts, the Assault Marines), given those Terminators Cyclone launchers and taken a few Rhinos, the game would have been much closer.

Here is a sample list for 1k you might like Ultr Assasin.



Librarian- nullzone, avenger 100 points
Tac Squad- meltagun, missile launcher, Razorback- twin-linked assaultcannon 250 points
Tac Squad- meltagun, missile launcher, Razorback- twin-linked assaultcannon 250 points
Predator- heavybolter sponsons 85 points

He'd have to go Rhinos with those tacsquads. You can only stuff 6 models in a Razorback.

nope, you can combat squad the tactical, putting 4 men and the melta into the razorback, and leaving the 4 men and the missile launcher at the back, possibly on an objective.

Didn't know that. Useful information.
