Hi All

Wanted to do a CC heavy SW list for ages and this update including the supplement have made my dreams a reality. This list is using the Champions of Fenris supplement, which I don't actually have yet so I have used elements which may not be 100% accurate. Will update accordingly if I find out I am wrong. To start with I heard this codex has a unique FoC which uses elites like troops (IE. 2 compulsory and + optional). I am also using the "Brethren of the Fell-Handed" formation which the 3 dreads form for extra bonuses.

I realise it is very elite, but that's the way I like to roll. I wanted the dreads in pods + 2 extra pods so I can manipulate drop pod assault and have all the dreads arrive together on turn 1, so I landed on Wolf Guard. Cavalry & Gunship are just awesome, I wanted to use them, no real other reason!

All feedback appreciated.

I don't think you can assault out of those pods anymore.

You cannot assault out of Lucius Pods anymore. You'd probably be better off dropping down to normal drop pods and then spending the extra points elsewhere.

Also, you are 5 points over, so the list is illegal.

Yeah I read up more on Lucius pods after posting this and realised they are now next to pointless in the current edition. So couple of small changes to the list (which also brings the points down to legal).
