An unofficial successor chapter of the Imperial Fists created without permission of the Emperor, the Siege Lords were a small number of Black Templars that disagreed with their Chapter's choice to deviate from the Codex Astartes. The Siege Lords maintain the combat doctrine and chapter organisation of the Codex Astartes as closely as their unusual circumstances permit, however they still hold the Black Templar belief in the God-Emperor and maintain their original heraldry.

Being an unofficial chapter, the Siege Lords do not have access to other chapters' recourses and are constantly at half-strength as a result. As a chapter, the Siege Lords herald only 5 companies in total: the 1st Veteran Company (of only 50 veterans), the 2nd, 3rd and 4th full strength Battle Companies and the standard fluctuating 10th Scout Company (in this case the 5th company).

The Siege Lords are said to have close ties with the Adeptus Mechanicus, having an unusually large armoury and Techmarine support. And as their name suggest, they are also experts in all forms of siege warfare, rivalling that of the Imperial Fists themselves.


So there's the fluff, now I'd like to build a 1500p list that can win games whilst still fitting in with the fluff. Naturally I'll be using Imperial Fists chapter tactics, but other than that, the only thing I know I'd like to include are a unit of grav cannon centurions.
Any and all help is welcome! Cheers

Well if they don't have access to the other chapters resources then I doubt they would have latest technology ie centurions sounds like you want a couple of thunder fire cannons, they are awesome and come with tech marines maybe a master of the forge? Vindicator as they are fluffy siege vehicles.

Their ties with the Mechanicum gives them all the centurions they need but yeah something like that but I'm limited to three HS and it's the rest of the army I need help with... Troops and stuff that aren't just their to fill slots

Okay so I figured people would prefer to help improve a list...
Here's what I came up with. What do you think? I have no idea if this would work

HQ
MoF - power axe
105p

TROOPS
10 Tac Marines - plas, missile, vet serg, power sword
in Rhino
230p

10 Scouts - snipers, cloaks
140p

ELITES
Ironclad - heavy flamer (instead of storm bolter)
145p

10 Sternguard - 10x combi-plasma, drop pod
365p (!)

HEAVY SUPPORT
3 dev centurions - grav cannons, amps, missiles
280p

Thunderfire
100p

Vindicator - siege shield (more coz it looks cool than it's actually useful)
135p

TOTAL: 1500p (exactly)

It seems like you already have an idea about the fluff. So I have an idea: Do what you want. Does this look like a list the Siege Lords would take? Then go for it. Its legal, and my only worry is the amount of scoring units you have, but other than that it seems ok.

Why not put a conversion beamer on the Master of the Forge.
