Still trying to build my list towards 2k, so I'd like to get a strong-ish list together before I buy too many models I won't use. This is just me playing around with Army Builder, trying different combinations.

HQ
Reclusiarch, meltabombs
Honor Guard, 4x Lightning claws, 4x Meltagun (one of each on each honor guard), drop pod

ELITE
Assault Terminators, 4x TH/SS, 1 Double Lightning claws
    Land Raider Redeemer, extra armor, multimelta

Assault Terminators, 4x TH/SS, 1 Double Lightning claws
    Land Raider Redeemer, extra armor, multimelta

3x Sanguinary Priest, 1x JP

TROOPS
Assault Squad, 1x PF, 2x Meltagun

Assault Squad, 1x PF, 2x Meltagun

The idea is that the Reclusiarch + honor guard and the termies will be the killy units, and Assaulters will be objective squatters (combat squadded if need be). It's 11 Kill Points, which is a bit high, but the list itself is, on the whole, pretty killy.

I'd probably drop one of the priests, 2 is plenty along with the HG one. But if you are sticking one with the Terminators, the priest doesn't need a jump pack.

An alternative to your HG would be a unit of Sternguard, you can get more bodies for the same cost. You lose out in assault capability (you have the Termies for that) but their bolters and special ammunition will come in handy.

yeah, I'd drop that third priest too.

Thanks for the input, guys.

The way it's set up now, it's one priest without JP with each termie squad, and one with JP with the assault squads. I expect the Honor Guard to be far away from the Assault Squads, and I don't like leaving assaulters with just their armor save when they are my only scoring units.

Could be interesting with the sternguard. I've never used them, so I'll have to try them in a test-game.

Any other comments or criticism? Any tips for using assault squads without priest?
