Well, I had an idea.

I don't know if Fabius is even really cool, but, I had an idea of CSMs backed up by mutant warriors.

I've been working on conversions and will use Orks as Allies, they will be the counts as Mutants.

Here is what I have so far,

HQ
Fabius Bile 165

Troops 66
16 Cultists w/ Autoguns
1 Heavy Stubber and champ w/ shotgun
(sit an hide on objective or in Aegis Defense line, Fabius joins this squad, and mans the Quad Gun)

Troops 214
8 CSM w. free CCW+ BP and 1 flamer
MoS + Excess
Champ w. Plasma Pistol, MB, Gift, Power Weapon
(These guys go in the Land Raider, and are enhanced by Fabius for the +1 Str and fearless. Init 5 and Str 5 Whoo!)

Heavy Support 255
Landraider with Dirge, dozer and destroyer blades
(Some anti tank, could do some anti air, and if need be, tank shock)

Fast Attack 213
6 man Bike Squad w/ 2 melta, MoK, Wrath, Vets champ w/ PW and Gift.
(Runs up behind LR No Melta bombs because double melta seems like it could kill armor, but a fast killy assault unit)

Aegis Defense line w/ Quad gun 100

Ork Allies!

HQ 115
Warboss w/ PK, Cybork, attack squig, bosspole.

Troops 215
5 Nobs, painboy, cyborks, 2 huge choppas, 1 pk and 2 kombi skorcha

all loaded in a battle wagon (120pts)

with Deff rolla, stikk bomb chukka, redpaint

So the idea is Fabius has his enhanced warriors, and this other group of genetic monstrosities and some wierdo cultists. Another theme of the list is high strength melee. I don't even know if this is viable any more.

But any thoughts? Would this list get eaten alive or can it do ok? Clocks in just under 1500.

Looks ok. However, I think you will be severely lacking in anti tank. Melta bombs and 2 twin linked lascannon does not a strong AT list make. I don't think that you will fare too well against strong cc either though. Imagine what hammernaters would do to anything in this list.

How much do Hammernators cost? Aren't they cost prohibitive?
