I have a friend who has recently been running a very nasty White Scars list.

I'm generally playing against this using my Salamanders, and lately, he seems to be absolutely kicking my ass.

His list consists of scouting and Relentless grav guns, multimeltas, Invisibility on Khan and his unit of bikers, drop pod sternguard with meltas and flamers, and Legion of the damned with ignores cover multimeltas and plasma.

I've recently decided taking a chap Inquisitor with servo skulls could potentially stop his scouting, but even still, the list throws a lot of things to deal with.

Any suggestions for countering this type of list with a Salamander marine army, OR just interested in hearing all of your experiences in fighting White Scars. Does anyone else have trouble fighting these guys?

To beat bikes you need Str7 shooting or ap3 melee.


Try taking vulkan in a command squad with flamers. The rerolls to wound will help againgst the high toughness and volume of wounds is great againgst 3+ armor.

Also pack a power axe in every squad of tacticls. You will slowly wear down their numbers with every melee exchange and bikes cant afford to loose even 5-6 guys a turn or be out of guys at the end of the game.

Get an inquisitor with servo skulld to stop scouting just for 34 points

And invisibility is not really guaranteed , but if he gets it just ignie that unit go for everything else.

Also his list seems to lack anti air, get some stormravens and talons in to hunt his troops or sternguard.
