Or Vanguard.

Any other ideas anyone can think of, I dont want a massivly competative list just something a little fun...

Thanks for your time

you don't have enough for a decent vangaurd. the baal would work but you would still have lots of points left over.

librarian dread meh. i would just use a furioso in a drop pod.

Well that was... eventful, thanks

I normally run 10 DC with 3 power axes and give the reclusiarch a powerfist. They have never had a problem killing anything, to include deathwing command squads with belial.

The points you save will drop you down to 1745.

I also take a pretty baller sternguard squad in a pod so I can get 1st blood. Corbulo can ride with them and with 255 points you can do pretty well.

I'd say stick to jumpers instead of rhinos... rhinos make easy first blood and you can't assault out of them without special weapons you'll just stand there for a turn. I'd try to make them a squad of 10 with meltas, even if it means losing the sergeants pw.

sounds like good advice.

Iam not much of a fan of power axes, going last is always a worry for me...

iv tried the jumpers list, and it wasnt to my liking i have to say. but I know where your coming from.

Good Sugestions, Personally im a Fan of the Infernus Pistol (yes its more expensive and yes you have to get closer but it lets you keep the extra melee attack)

i do also like the infernus pistol.. it seems like a nice weapons eve ntho its got worse range. =)

You have really good vehicle saturation, which should help keep the LR alive. However with only two squads of assault marines and one of DC I think you're actually kinda low on assault units. The utility of ASM gets overrated a lot I think, especially if they're going to be in rhinos which they cannot assault out of. Maybe I've just had bad luck with them in the past, but I wouldn't count ASM as true cc specialists and, really, there's a lot that will beat up on them. I'd look at investing the points in another assault threat.
