Hey guys, I had an Idea for a fun list and I was wondering what people thought about it. Also, should I go Ultramarines for tiggy, or just go Iron hands for IWND and a smashfether?


Ultramarine List

HQ: 165
Tiggy

Troops:230
Tac squad w/ melta, combit melta in pod
Tac squad w/ melta, combit melta in pod


Elites:1155
3 man unit of venerable dreadnaughts w/ assault cannon and extra armor
3 man unit of Dreadnaughts w. two TL auto cannons
3 man unit of Dreadnaughts w. two TL auto cannons

Fast Attack
Drop pod

Heavy Support: 165
Dev. Cents (bare bones)

why tiggy-
great HQ all around, and, the chances of getting 4++ and ignores cover for my Cents is very good. with tiggys warlord, thats 12 TL Ignores cover rending shots, and 12-24 str4 ignores covers rending shots coming out a turn. (if I manage to ignores cover off, which I should)


Iron Hands List would be:

HQ: 310
Chapter Master w/ Shield Eternal, bike, TH, digital weapons, primarchs Wrath
Tech Marine w/ servo harness, 4 servitors w/ 2 plasma cannons

Troops: 228
5 man Bike Squad w/ grav guns
3 man bike squad w/ 2 melta guns, combi melta

Elites:1125
3 man unit of venerable dreadnaughts w/ assault cannon
3 man unit of Dreadnaughts w. two TL auto cannons
3 man unit of Dreadnaughts w. two TL auto cannons


What the Elites bring-

Dread naughts are not exactly mobile, However, a full unit of Vens marching up the middle of the field is fairly great field control. (especially with 12 str 6 rending shots coming out)
the dreads will be covered by the bike squads and the chapter master do what bikes normally do. While the two units of auto cannon dreads pound away on things. Thats 24 Str7 ap4 TL shots coming out a turn on a 12/12/10 3HP relentless platform with IWND (iron hands). From most likely a 4+ or 3+ cover ruin.

put smashfether in the melta unit since it wants to get close anyway. Thoughts? Tips? Is it worth it to give my Dreads extra amour?

Note: I don't expect this list to beat top teir lists such as 5 flyrants or tau/eldar top lists, but I think it can hold its own very well against most lower top and down lists. The biggest problem would be air power, but maybe I can ignore it?

That's 9 dreadnoughts if I count correctly.

If so, I'd probably prefer It will not die on them. Most of your points are invested in them, anyway.

I also only count 1660 some points in the Iron hands list, so you could probably find a use for those 90 points.

I can't say that it'll be the most competitive thing, but given the large number of dreadnoughts, IWND is probably your friend.

Iron hands, less dreadnaughts, you don't need that many, get another squad of tac marines or bikers

Maybe fit in some anti air?

sorry, the theme is the dreads

That said, thanks guys, I'll go Iron hands. and spend that last 90 points on some more bikes.
