This is my attempt to pack a 1-2 punch combo in 1850pts. I'm going for max amount of units and minimal upgrades (no vets, or extra bodies) while packing multiple threats to be dealt with. Without further ado:

HEADQUARTERS:

Tigurius

FAST ATTACK:

Assault marines (x5), dual flamer, pod
Assault marines (x5), dual plasma pistols, pod

TROOPS:

Tactical squad (x5), combi-melta, meltagun, pod
Tactical squad (x5), combi-melta, meltagun, pod

HEAVY SUPPORT

Devastator centurions (x3), grav cannons
Land Raider (stock)
TFC, pod

STORM WING FORMATION:

Storm Raven, TLLC, TLMM
Stormtalon, Skyhammer ML (x2)

ASSASSINORUM DETACHMENT:

Culexus assassin

1850 ON THE DOT

I've posted something similar at the 2000pts scale, this loses a couple of tacticals for assault marines instead (cheaper but can take dual special weapons, sort of), also, no MBs, no vet upgrades so morale and Ld test may be an issue.

Highlights:

-Tigurius + centurions bomb, with the option of riding in LR or Stormraven, they can easily remove a Wraithknight/Riptide/vehicle per turn and have a decent chance against Knights
-Good AA and anti FMC with the 3 flyers
-Excellent psychic deathstar counter thanks to Culexus, option to ride in LR or Stormraven
-4 ObSec units
-Plenty of rerolls thanks to Warlord Trait, doctrines, and Prescience
-Reserve control thanks to Tigurius

I feel like this list has decent all around tools and can tackle lots of different armies while countering some of the most popular builds. Thoughts?

Keep in mind that if your are using Stormwing, you can not benefit from Tigurius' re-rolls

Ah... Bummer. Was kinda counting on the reroll for a guaranteed round 2 arrival...

What if I were to throw in a UM squad in the Stormraven?
