So I made this 1000pts army for a small tournament I have with my friends. I'ts a semi-competitive tournament in wich I'll play against Necrons, Black Templars and IG. (We agreed to have the same list for all games wich makes it difficult to create good list) So here it goes, hope you have some ideas.

HQ
Reclusiarch - 145pts
w/ Power Fist

Elite
Sanguinary Priest - 75pts
w/ Jump Pack

5 Sternguard Veterans in Razorback - 210pts
combi-melta and Power Fist

Troop
10x Assault Squad - 225pts
2 meltas and Sgt has Power Axe

5x Death Company in Razorback - 200
3 bolters, flamer and Thunder Hammer

Fast Attack
Baal Predator - 145pts
Flamestorm Cannon & Heavy Bolters

Okay, so you propably have some questions about this. First of all, I know that flamer in DC shouldn't be possible but because I'm playing this with friends in a casual tournament, they said it'll be possible (paid 15pts for it). And I know that lot of people disagree about using DC. But like this it wont take a lot of points and with Chaplain/Rec joined they're beasts in CC (if attacking). Sanguinary Priest will join AM Squad (I was also thinking that depending of the game I could Combat Squad the Assault Marines.) And yes, I know this list doesn't have a lot anti-tank weaponry against IG (except for meltas) so how would you fix that?

Thanks in advance!!

what actually really works with death co is taking 10 all with bolters in a drop pod. 1st turn drop them down on the enemies flank rapid fire a squad down and then charge next turn.
i don't like putting things in tanks these days when you can't even assault after leaving a vehicle that didn't even move

Be forewarned that the drop pod delivery will not work against good opponents. My advice is to avoid DC altogether.

So what would you put instead of it? Another Assault Squad?

Yeah, I'd get assault guys with flamer special weapons. All my TAC BA lists of the same theme bring the same stuff, essentially since we have so many units that are overpriced.

But 10 scoring models at 1K points is asking for trouble. Especially without the force multiplier of the libby.

How about this?

That's better, certainly. I'd probably put the Sternguard in a pod, and give them all combi-melta, because a single vindicator is going to give this list fits.

Okay, thanks for help!

Yeah the Sternguard in a pod would really increase the amout of pressure you are putting on your opponent in CC.

If you get rid of the DC then the reclusiarch loses lots of his benefits. I would suggest a librarian with a jump pack instead to help one of squads

The libby is always a better choice, even with DC. The DC don't need more bonuses on the charge. They need bonuses that function on non-charge turns, which the Reclusiarch doesn't provide.

Librarian - 125pts
w/ JP
(what powers? I've used libby only once in game and then I had smite and unleash rage)

Elite
Sanguinary Priest - 75pts
w/ Jump Pack

5 Sternguard Veterans in Drop Pod - 210pts
5 combi-meltas and Power Fist

Troop
10x Assault Squad - 225pts

10x Assault Squad - 215pts
2 flamers and Sgt has Power Axe

Fast Attack
Baal Predator - 145pts
Flamestorm Cannon & Heavy Bolters

There are two ways to go with the libby:

a) Buff one squad with divination. If you get the 4++ save, or super overwatch + counterattack /happydance. Note that the primaris power is very similar to reclusiarch, but work for shooting and hand to hand and also works when you don't charge. Bascially buffs that only work when you charge suck, because charging is far from a guarantee.

b) Use shield of sanguinius to give multiple units a cover save, but provides no utility in HTH.
