Hey guys! I have been toying around with the new codex and I was curious what you all thought of this. The primary detachment is Ultramarines, with allied Salamanders. The meta around here is very heavy with Tau, Eldar, and CSM. This is a Drop Pod oriented list with precision weapons for key targets such as Riptides, Wraithknights and Obliterators. Of the various lists I was thinking about this one is the only one that did not have Devastator Centurions. Thoughts?

Comes to 1843 total.

why the flak missiles? whenever you shoot them you completely waste the rest of the squads shooting, for 1 s7 shot vs a flier. the chances of that even doing anything is very minimal. i would tkae them all out for a flakk cannon (totally forgot name sorry) on the aigies line.

Well its not exactly wasting the shots, there are only 5 of them in the combat squad after all. And their job is to plant on an objective and/or provide support anyway. The other 5 are in the pod elsewhere in all three of the Tactical Squads. Plus if you are shooting a missile anyway chances are the bolters are out of range for it anyway.
