I've a competition on the weekend and I wanted to try some thing a little different and I need some advice.
Hq = Coteaz and a grand master with an incinerator.
elite = vindicare
fast= 10 man interceptor squad with two demon hammers and 2 psicannons and psibolt.
troops = two ten man strike squads with psibolt and two psicannons and a demon hammer in squad 1 and a halberd, demon hammer and two incinerators. This second squad will be in a rhino
aegis defence line with a quad gun
allies= belial and a five man deathwing squad with a cyclone missile launcher.

If I recall correctly your list is illegal as written. I think Belial ony makes deathwing troops when he is in your primary detachment.

But if you swap Dark angels as the primary and run this list...

Primary
HQ = Belial
Troops = 5 man deathwing with a cyclone missile launcher
Troops = 5 man marine squad with a plasma cannon and TL heavy flamer razorback

Allied
HQ= grand master with an incinerator
Elite = vindicare
fast = 10 man interceptor squad with two demon hammers and 2 psicannons and psibolt.
Troops = 5 man strike squad with psibolt and a psicannons and a demon hammer
Troops = 10 man strike squad with a halberd, demon hammer and two incinerators in a rhino.

Inquisitorial
HQ = Coteaz

Fortifiaction
Aegis Defense line with quad gun

should come in under 1850 and its legal.


Or, if you want to do something very new....

Primary
HQ= grand master with an incinerator
HQ = Coteaz
Elite = vindicare
fast = 10 man interceptor squad with two demon hammers and 2 psicannons and psibolt.
Troops = 5 man strike squad with psibolt and a psicannons and a demon hammer
Troops = 10 man strike squad with a halberd, demon hammer and two incinerators in a rhino.
Troops = 5 man terminator squad

Imperial Knight
Knight Paladin

Fortifiaction
Aegis Defense line with quad gun

Damnation.... thanks for that I skimmed that bit :(. I would love to go for a knight but my local area doesn't allow codices that are less than a month old. I guess its back to using Mordrak and ally in Coteaz so I can use him as my warlord instead.

The alternate list I posted that trades 5 strike kngihts with an incinerator for 5 tactical marines with a plasma cannon and a razorback with a twin linked heavy flamer will do everything you had planeed on doing for the most part. I would recomend you leave the razorback and two 5 man squads (psycannon and plasma cannons) at the defense line, then put the 10 man strike squad in the the rhino with a psycannon and incinerator. That way you can move your 5 tactical marines to an objective in the late game assuming both them and the razorback survive the fioght that long. Or you can have the razorback fallow the rhino around doing the job of the missing incinerator and proving some mobile cover.

another thing to consider would be replacing the vindicare with a valkyrie with 3 acolytes in power armor bolters in it. Last minute scoring unit you can drop on an objective late game and the Valkyrie will cause as much damage/distraction as a the vindicare probably would. Also very easy to model.

thanks for the advice . I now know what models to pick up for my next shopping trip!
