So, not really sure what I've got here, but I think it could work....

Jump Pack Librarian with Sword of Sanguinus and another power

Sanguinary Priest with Jump Pack and Power Weapon
x5 Sanguinary Guard (joined by Priest)

X10 Tactical Marines with Power Fist, Plasma Cannon and Meltagun. (Objective holders)
X5 Death Company with Power Fist, Power Weapon and Bolters.

Probably gonna get torn up and I'm sure ill be told about 12 other units I should buy, but, this is what I've got so far.... I guess I could drop a Power Weapon and Fist off the DC to get a Rhino or Drop Pod or something....
Anyways, just looking for some ideas or even tactics to help this work.

Thanks!

This belongs in the Army List forum.

Except that it is, so, thanks?

I was thinking of bumping the points up to 1000pts, to try to squeeze in a Death Company Dread with Talons, maybe in a Drop Pod. I'm probably going to have a Doomscythe to deal with, as well as the rest of the Necron army, so I'm not even really sure what else to throw in short of a Dev squad or something...

Ideas?
Thanks!

I'd suggest getting a ride for the tac marines. you'll also need a ride or jump packs for the DC, or they're gonna get kited so bad. Also, bolters on them? Not sure how effective that's gonna be. Rather just go balls out assaulty with'em. It's what they're good at. Other than that. It sure is a hard list, but you're walking a razor thin line there. One slightly crap round, and I'm pretty sure you'll lose.

the previous post does make sense however remember that the death co are relentless as well so having bolters over a ccw/bp is really up to your tastes. you can always rapid fire your bolters and charge into combat. granted you wont be having 4 attacks on the charge if you keep the bolters but you should be able to soften up the unit with shooting before assaulting in. but they do need a ride of some sort. id suggest a rhino at bare minimum

With the 6th ed rules, your opponent has to take shooting casualties from the front, though. Meaning you're less likely to get into charge range. And with 6th, you really, really want to get into close combat with the DC.

But sure. They ARE relentless. I just don't think it's worth taking shooty DC, personally. They cost too much, and they ARE best in CC.

EDIT:

That's my personal, subjective opinion.

I appreciate the replies!

I liked the idea of giving the Bolters to Death Company so they have a farther reach. So let's say they charge some unit with Pistols/CCWs, and eventually kill them, if they happen to get stranded out somewhere, at least they can shoot at 24" while still closing the distance. Sure, they could run with Pistols/CCWs, but then they aren't doing anything else..

So after some fenagling, this is what I'm looking at:

Jump Pack Librarian

Sanguinary Priest with Jump Pack and Power Weapon (attached to..)
Sanguinary Guard x5, x1 Infernus Pistol

X10 Tactical Marines, Power Fist, Plasma Cannon, Meltagun
X5 Death Company, x2 Power Weapons, x1 Infernus Pistol, Bolters, TL Heavy Bolter Razorback
Death Company Dreadnought in Drop Pod

I could swap the Razorback for a Drop Pod for the DC and try to fill that unit out a little more..
Well, there it is! Haha

Thanks!
