So i have been playing 40k off and on since third but have recently been living in china where there is not much 40k. But i will be heading back to the US soon and would love to get back in the saddle. Ultramarines are my first love and seeing the new codex it seems like they are gonna love me back! Gonna be pretty excited to dust them off. So here is my first stab at a list. I haven't gotten to play a game of 6th yet being in China and all but i have been keeping up to date with podcasts and websites so i feel not completely uninformed.

So here we go!

HQ
165 Tigurius: Divination

90 Librarian: Lvl 2, Telepathy

Troops
175 Tactical Squad(10): Lascannon, Plasma gun
-75 Razorback: Lascannon, Twin-linked plasma gun

175 Tactical Squad(10): Lascannon, Plasma gun
-75 Razorback: Lascannon, Twin-linked plasma gun

175 Tactical Squad(10): Lascannon, Plasma gun

Elites
250 Sternguard Squad(10): 2 Combi-meltas

Fast Attack
145 Stormtalon: Typhoon missile launcher

145 Stormtalon: Typhoon missile launcher

Heavy Support
150 Devastator Squad(5): 4 Lascannons

130 Devastator Squad(5): 4 Missile launchers

100 Thunderfire Cannon:

One of the tac squads will combat squad, each half can hang out with a Razorback so i have 4 scoring units for grabbing objectives. The Devastators and and Thunderfire hang back blasting away while the Sternguard go up front with the tacticals to dish out the pain and also draw fire away from my scoring units. I was thinking of squeezing in a drop pod for the Sternguard so they can get up and rapid fire but i don't like the idea of having them way up front alone to just get swarmed. Maybe a Rhino? Tiggy and the librarian bounce around wherever needed dealing out buffs to probably mostly the Sternguard and Devastators. Finally the Stormtalons fly around hunting other flyers and doing strafing runs. end game, if they are still alive, they would probably fly around to contest objectives and get line breaker. The trickiest thing will be target priority and learning how to delay big problem units by sacrificing mine as speed bumps at the right time since i have no close combat abilities. Also I'm scared that the razorbacks could easily give up first blood but i like the firepower that they bring so I'm kinda willing to risk it.

So let me know what y'all think!

This list would actually work well for IF.... S10 Las' and S9 MLs...

ya it would too bad my guys are in blue lol

Lol, I like it. However, I like DP lists with Tigurius more.
