Went for a good mix of Mech/Scoring units

Very mobile army with a furioso and tact squad+librarian+priest in the Stormraven and both ASM squads deepstriking, the Anti-vehicle group with a priest.

Good advice, edited list to match it.

The naked assault marine squad isn't much of a threat. Give it double flamer to really put the hurt on infantry or meltaguns to make them a threat to tanks.

The points can come from your tactical squad - you've purchased 12 of them but they can only be 10 strong. Your stormraven will have 2 spare slots but oh well - that does give you the flexibility to put either your librarian or a priest (HUGE fnp bubble from the hull of the raven!) in the raven with them though.

What are the dreads armed with?

I really find that with the mobility of jump packs, cover is not hard to find, so shield of sanguinius is not much use. I really REALLY love fear of darkness though. Has more than once sent a squad of necrons off the board!

Buy the libby a jump pack and get another power. Or better yet, get divination love going.

Those furiosos are going to suck up every bit of anti-tank you opponent has on the first turn or two. I know this from fielding lists somewhat similar to this.

Naked ASM = weak sauce. Bring flamers or meltas. Warning: they still are not all that in HTH, which is a big problem with that BA in general.

It's a pretty cool list! Really liking the double Furioso at 1500 points (one in the pod and one in the Raven).

What has you going for fists over talons? I thought with the infantry meta of 6th ed talons would be favored... is that not the case? Did they become something terrible like AP3 now... please don't tell me yes

Blood talons are AP 3. Furthermore, they can't effectively handle other dreads or things like Wraithknights or riptides. The fragnought is the most potent dreadnought in our arsenal. It does the most upfront damage with a blood fist as a back up.

I also just don't have blood talons to use : (

Heavy Flamer/Melta plus powerfist attacks just gives them so much versatility, effective against really anything other than landraiders.

I like the Libby where he is, he'll disembark near the enemies gun-line and just wreck havoc gunning down vunerable targets+ a charge. I want his squads mobility for linebreaker.


On my first turn in terms of vehicles on the table there will be:

Stormraven
Drop-pod, hopefully blocking a unit with anti-vehicle giving my dread cover
Furioso
Pred

The 2nd Furioso will assault the turn he disembarks but won't be a target at least for awhile.

I thought about my precious Furioso's getting eaten alive right away and tried to hedge against it.

Don't stormravens have to start in reserve?
