Hello Community

This is my second stab at a list. After my first list I started building and after reading and rereading some of the comments I decided to shuffle things around a bit. I am not looking for a tourney list, but I do want something competitive I can win with.

I’m thinking of going with Imperial Fists Chapter Tactics

HQ

Librarian w/Terminator Armor LvL 2 - 125
(rides in LLR w/Termies)

Troops

10x Tacs w HB/Flamer/Combi-Flamer - 190
Rhino
10x Tacs w HB/Flamer/Combi-Flamer - 190
Rhino
5x Tacs w MM/C-Melta/Melta Bombs - 130
Drop Pod

Heavy

Vindicator w Siege Shield - 135
Vindicator w Siege Shield - 135

Elite (1st Company Formation)

5x Assault Terminators w 3x TH/SS - 205
Land Raider Redeemer - 240
5x Sternguard w 4x C-Meltas - 185
Drop Pod
5x Sternguard Bare Bones – 145
Drop Pod

Devastator

5x Devastator w 4x Lascannons – 150

Total 1850

I wanted to make a list with a lot of bodies on the ground and multiple high level threats. The way I see it working is forcing the enemy to choose between focusing the vindicators, the LLR, or drop pods landing behind their line. The barebones sterns will just drop where they are needed when they are needed, and I mainly took them in a pod so I have 3. I know I’m lacking AA but I hope at least I have tanks, MCs, and hordes covered.

Only things I don’t want changed are the assault terminators in the LLR and the Vindicators. Everything else I kind of build around them, so please feel free to tear the rest of it apart. I have also been thinking about somehow cutting some points to add a landspeeder typhoon, switching the Libby and making this into a demi company so I'd love some input on that too.

Thanks in advance!!!

I would swap the redeemer for a crusader. The flamers are decent but firing both can be tricky and in most cases you'll use them once per game.

Thank you, I'll try to find the points somewhere and make that switch. Luckily its all magnetized!

In general do no/few replies mean the list is hopeless or that it has few areas to critique?

There are a lot of reasons for few replies, so don’t read too much into it.

One of them is that it looks pretty solid, so nothing needs to be changed. Which is the case here IMHO.

For the 5 man tac squad, I’d go with a melta gun rather then a MM. Better use on the drop, and as a 5 man squad, you might not live to see a second turn.

I’d also go with the LRC rather then the LRR.

You are positioned here to go into a number of formations. One problem is your “must have” list straddles two of the more expensive ones (1st co TF and Armored TF) So moving from the CAD to a formation system requires cuts you forbade.

Dropping the vinds, go demi/1st. Swap the Lib for another HQ, add a pair of TML/HB speeders, boost the SG to full squads (or fuller, points allowing)

Or mech up. Drop the vets, swap the Lib. Add speeders. Move the 5 man tac to a RB. Add a Tech (on a bike?) another tank(s), and some TFCs.

First of all I want to preface with the fact that I play sentinels as a main army and feel my impute is useful.

I cant speak higher of our relics. You really need the eye of hypnoth and the bones of osrak on the libo. Additional charge per turn and reroll of powers is too good not to use. Also you can use the eye to reduce eney cover even if your unit isn't shooting at them. Its very important.



I do feel this list should be a demi company as well!

Thank you for the replies!

My main concern was rounding out the units in my army so I know what I need to assemble and paint. Besides what's in this list I already have a predator, 2x landspeeders, TFC, Chaplain, and a Captain so swapping some things in and out to make the demi company will be very easy to do.

It seems to me from the posts & other threads that the main weakness in the build (or least competitive part of it) are the Termies in the LR and the vindicators. Taking those away would free up 615 points so there are a ton of options! But I would like to play with the list a bit first. Just love the way terminators and vindicators look!
