Hello mates!

i was thinkng of building a crimson fists army with chapter master Pedro Kantor as HQ, the point limit is 1850.
My main problem is...
-apart from the 1-2 sternguard as elite, scouts as troops and 1 or 2 Thunderfire cannon..

-what HS unit i should take between devastator and Centurion ( las o grav-cannon? the las-cannon is also twin-linked), remember that with imperial fists army i will get tank-hunter special rule for them..

-should i take some Fast support? 5 assault marines with 2 flamer and maybe a melta bomb? a storm talon with skyhammer? 1-2 land speeders with 2 shots misisle launcher?

-then, where do i put Pedro? ( he's a good all-comer character, so he lacks specialization ) in a drop-pod with sternguard or with devastators/centurion seems the best options IMO

feel free to add any type of suggestion, consider that in my meta i will probably find: orks, tyranid, guard, space marines and maybe tau. The level of competitiveness here isn't stellar, or better, we play to have fun, so even if this list isn't very good, i should be fine ( but i need to know more experienced opinions ) .

thanks for reading mates!

Centurions... They definately bring the pain with grav.

sorry to disappoint you but 5 assault marines die. sad, but true. I think stormtalons are good though. so are land speeders with meltas.

I think pedro should go with centurions if you take them. Sounds good!

Do you want to do a Drop list? Rhinos? Multiple Small Units (5 man squads)?

For Imperial Fists (Crimson Fists) you definitely want bolter spam. With Pedro you want to get your sternguard going for sure.

Perhaps 2 x 10 Sternguard (pods or rhinos), 2 x 10 Tacs (pods or rhinos), Grav Centurions in a LRC and 2 TFC's (+1 empty pod if you're going pods).

Then you'll want some special weapons (Melta, Plasma, Las, whatever you like) to take care of the big threats. I'm less of a fan of combi-weapons on Sternguard since the new codex made them twice as expensive, but the heavy/special choices are still cheap.

I think that some combi-meltas are going to be necessary. From what I see he doesnt have much anti tank...
