I assume you mean Cyclone Missile Launchers for the Contemptors?

I personally love running Mortis Contemptors, they are great multi use walker. I had been tempted with the TL Autocannons myself, but I opted for the Kheres Assault Cannon's in stead. Even though it has a shorter range, I couldn't pass up on the Heavy 6 rending shots.

Let us know how the Autocannons work out for you

Other than the Dreads the rest is pretty standard White Scars list. Bikes will kick butt

Good list, not sure about the TL HF but otherwise looks good.

Do you have imperial armour 2 2nd edition? I haven't received mine yet, but reading across various forums it appears c:sm are only able to field one mortis contemptor.

Yes I meant Cyclone, (Fixed)

I found the Kheres just too short ranged. 24 is very short on a 6" move model. I found at least one of the contemptors out of range almost every game.

Twin link is a bit of a waste with BS 5. But.. What can you do.

Jamo I am getting my info from Imperial Armor Aronatica. I belive it's identical to the Apocolypse 2nd edition. There are something like 4 version of the contemptor rules out there...

Other than more bikes (boring) I could not think of anything else with a first turn strike capability that fit the 140pt mark.

I know the dread will die turn 1, but on that same turn the enemy will have to contend with my entire bike force as well ramming down his throat.

I like the idea of a mortis poping a transport with my dread right there to roast the contents....

I do have the IA2 2Ed book. You can have as many Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought as can fit in your list, it's the Mortis Dreadnoughts where you can only have 1 (unless you are Dark Angels, then you can have as many as can fit in your list)

Agreed, it can be short range but they are far more scary to the enemy than TL Autocannon. I'm thinking that Drop pod full of Sternguard are going to be mince meat when it lands. I will see how I do, I have magnetised mine so can easily swap out.

You could take 2 Land Speeders, with Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer/Bolter. That is 140 points, very quick and deadly, just as likely to die as the Dreadnought, but if you take in 2 squadrons can take on 2 targets.

Well that's good news. Cheers. Play on!

Definitely take the Kheres cannons. If range is an issue, consider taking lucius drop pods: stops range being an issue, and offers protection, too.

Just watch for inquisitor cheese skulls. No scout move for your bikes...

Ok in order to make Kheres Cannons work in an alpha strike list I need Lucius drop pods so they can be in range turn 1. In order to get my 2 drop pods in turn 1 I need one dummy drop pod which means at least one unit that can take a drop pod but not need one (thunder cannon.) In order to keep my troop numbers up I have to down grade from regular marines to scouts on two units.

The result looks like this.

Kheres Assault Cannons are cool and all but I am not convinced this is an improvement. Esp when the inferior scout units are considered.
