Hi Dakka,

I've been trying to expand my list to 1250 and this is what I have, please C+C
No Force Org Slot
Damocles Command Rhino = 75

HQ
Librarian ML 2 = 90
Librarian ML 1 = 65

Troops
5x Scouts w/ Combat Blades, DT: Land Speeder Storm w/ Heavy Flamer = 100
5x Scouts w/ Combat Blades, DT: Land Speeder Storm w/ Heavy Flamer = 100

Elites
Sternguard w/ 3x Combi-Melta, DT: Drop Pod = 185

Fast Attack
Stormtalon w/ Skyhammer Missile Launcher = 125
Stormtalon w/ Skyhammer Missile Launcher = 125
5x Bikes w/ 2x Grav Guns = 135

Heavy Support
Devastator Squad w/ 4x Las Cannons = 150
Thunderfire Cannon = 100

Sorted my list out so that it has a more of a guerilla warfare feel to it (I guess Thunderfire and Orbital Bombardment are exceptions but hey, the enemy wouldn't see it coming on the battlefield and I can forge the narrative for a Command Rhino, yay for fluff!) Dropped the Melta Bombs on Scouts and Centurions for Grav on Bikes for Anti MC, Damocles was included for S10 Ap2 for a certain Deathstar I know I will face and reserve manipulation since I have none, aside sciers gaze. Librarians go with Sternguard and Las Cannons for TL, whoever gets Ignore Cover will go with the Devastators. Would have liked ML2 on both and Melta Bombs on Scouts but I dunno where to find points.

Normal librarians can't roll on divination. You won't have enough warp dice to get off those powers either, even if you are lucky enough to roll perfect timing. Checked out that Redth guy. Just not as good as Tiggy or Loth by a long holy hock. How do you apply the centurions?

Mantis Warriors Libbys can roll on Divination as part of their Chapter Tactics

I intended for the Centurions to stay within the 24" range so that they can't be charged, using the Land Speeders to block off the enemy from the Centurions.

EDIT: Made some changes to list.

I would would take a look at their named HQ Librarian (I think I also may have sent this to you in a PM, but just dropping the hint at it again).

I also think Redth would benefit your army a lot, especially at this point level. You'd loose one ML, but then you'd get a libby with 5+ Invul, a shrouding power and acces to Divination. He got a nice Warlord trait too.

Otherwise, the list is cool and fits the Mantis Warriors ethos and fluff quite well.

Ooh that would give me points for Melta Bombs on the Scouts

I took two Librarians as I wasn't sure who needed TL more, Devastators or Sternguard, so I gave them both Prescience : p#

EDIT: No it wouldn't...I'd be ten points over. What would you drop for Redth?
