Hello all got a game with a friend tomorrow and would like feedback on my list.

We aim to be competitive and I think the list has a good balance of threats and firepower.

Level 2 librarian will go with the Terminators in the land raider and add some psychic support/offense.

Tiggy and the centurions take the drop pod and rain grav death on high profile targets whilst hopefully getting invisibility, Maybe divination or another psychic discipline is better?

I have not really looked into the whole formations at all in 40k, which is why its a cad list.

Thanks!

Looks solid. It’s a lot of eggs in two major baskets, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

What is your opponent's army like?

It is a strong list, to make it even stronger, can you squeeze somewhere like 140pts to 180pts and fit in the 3rd Libby and a cheap HQ like Telion or a Techmarine into the list? That way you can pull off some very strong psychic power to support your army. Telion being the lowest points HQ for Marines, while Techmarines are for keeping your LR alive and mobile.

Thing to consider to swap one of the tactical squads for scouts and land speeder storms, add in Sargeant Telion infiltrating with them. Or drop one of the stormtalon and a Tac squad for the scout, land speeder storm, Techmarine and whatever else you like.

Im not sure what army my friend will be using, he owns a wide variety.

Thank you for the comments

What Psychic powers would you recommend the librarian take?

If you need guaranteed invisibility then consider Loth of the Red Scorpions.

If invisibility isn't really needed for the Cents (grav...) then I would consider Biomancy on Tiggy, hopefully for endurance. Tiggy takes wounds for the Cents and prevents a charge... and Divination on the Librarian

But again it would depend what fire power the cents will take when they arrive...

Be flexible with the psychic powers. Take divination on tiggy if you need ignores cover for your grav cents. Otherwise I like the look sof biomancy. The ideal loadout would be endurance, life leech, and enfeeble. As a bonus you get smite for even more ap2 goodness.

For the librarian consider Sanctic Powers.
- Gate: handy in case the LR gets blown up
- Hammerhand: S10!!
- Sanctuary: 2++ invulnerable saves
- purge: awesome for removing grav-cannons and other special ap2 weapons from nearby units
- Cleansing Flame/Vortex: extra dakka

So even though the primaris is useless the other spells all have some utility to you. Or roll divination for guaranteed prescience for re-rolls to hit in CC.

Isn't that too many units to fit inside of the Drop Pod?

tig is rocking the power armour so it's kosher

The best power discipline for marines are Telepathy and Divination, marines are generally a few model count and few shots count army, in the nowadays environment with that many AP2 weapons or high strength high RoF weapons and easy access to cover save of those MCs, you want every shots you fired to hit, and those anti MC ones could ignore cover, while keep your most important guys alive. That is what the powers from these two disciplines could provide.
