Aegis Defense Line (Quad gun) - 100


2000

Most of the time, Sanguinary Guards and 2 Assault Squads with Priests and Libby will jump, the rest stays on table. Termies and Devs will stay on board to shoot people with 12 missile shots plus the Quad gun.
Against say Orks, everyone starts on table.

I sure dont get many replies...

Bring another model for one dev. squad, they will man the quad gun, then the signum can be used to give him BS5, unless it is worded that the sarg. can use it on himself.

What weapons do the CMLs carry?

Now the BA units in general, I think you have the right choices if used well, including the sang. guard. Just not sure about the wargear options and powers for the librarians. However, they are bringing capabilities the deathwing would love to have melta and mobility
I think I would bring another dev. squad, as the ADL is big enough to cover them and also maybe some lascannons or heavy plasma guns as you already have a lot of missiles.

Maybe a dumb point, but you know ML don't have Flakk, right? I'm seeing an up-surge of use of 4x ML devastators and they aren't really any better than they were in 5th.

I am pretty sure this was happening all through 5th....at least I was running my Dev Squads this way. Devs are best with ML's as they can serve two purposes: Horde control and Light armor.

I like your list, I was actually thinking of doing something along the same lines. The Aegis DL is amazing, and since the sergeant of the dev squads has BS5 he can dominate any incoming flyers.

Since in 6th you are gonna see both infantry lists and vehicle lists, ML's flexibility is much appreciated.

I'd love to try out the rule book powers more, though I think I might want to upgrade him to an Epistolary if I do that.

The dev. squad have a guanteed cover save, they can move and fire slightly, they have to snap fire a planes anyway.
This edition has less dynamics deployments, you can line up gunlanes and be in a good position.
Then BA dev. squads were cheap just not longfang cheap.

I think the list could use anouther leaf blower unit but outher than that looks solid

What do you have in mind by "Leaf blower unit"? As a primarily IG player my mind instantly think of a Manticore lol

At 2500, I think I would add 2 Storm Ravens, what armament though?

Missile launhers and a load of them there so ballenced and flexable
as for the SR I like TL multi meltas and TL Laz cannons With the huricane bolters on the side but if you have the extra points put the typhoon missile launcher on the front and TL laz cannons(armor)/assault cannons(infantry) with the hurricane bolters

Not sure if I should bother with LCs or not on the termies, should I just go with all hammernators?
