Hi,

My latest list, designed to counter some friends' SM and CSM-DP armies,

Primary detachment: CAD

CCS with 2 plasma guns, medipack, camo gear and 2 advisors (Astropath, Master of Ordnance)

Vet squad with krak grenades, 3 plasma guns and forward sentires

Vet squad with krak grenades, 3 plasma guns and forward sentires

Vet squad with krak grenades, 3 meltaguns and forward sentires

Primaris psyker upgraded to ML2, attached to one of the vet squads

Secondary detachment: Emperor's fist formation

Tank command squad: LR Punisher with 3 heavy bolters, heavy stubber and Pask, LR Battle Tank

LR Demolisher with heavy bolter

LR Eradicator with heavy bolter, heavy stubber and plasma sponsons

LR Eradicator with heavy bolter, heavy stubber and multimelta sponsons

Techpriest + servitor with servo arm


1498 points altogether. Any thoughts?

I'd drop the medipack, MoO and krak grenades.

An exterminator instead of lrbt, no stubbers and heavy bolter sponsons on the eradicators instead.

That's something like 60pts spare. I'd try fit in either another Russ, a Wyvern or two, or another veteran squad.

Thanks for the feedback! The main problem with fitting in another LR is that it is not assembled yet Also, I don't own a Wyvern, so if I dropped both the MoO and the LRBT, that would leave me without the option to drop large blasts at the enemy at long range. But I'll consider the extra vet squad.

Considering the current faq by GW regarding transports and troops inside transports both arriving by deep strike and the ability to shoot at that unit after its transport was just destroyed or if they disembark the same turn it arrived.
And the faq regarding Cortez allowing you to just keep shooting at all of those targets. Cortez received a jump in power and for 100 points he is almost an auto include especially when you can just replace your primaris with Cortez for +25pts and still have access to a better psyker that is more durable, threatens other psychic units and demon units, manipulate seize initiative rolls, while also providing Ld10 and stubborn rules to a guard unit that is typically poor in Ld tests.

If you issue is deep striking units it's almost required for you to take Cortez. If his unit is able to destroy the transport then you are able to then shoot at the unit that just emergency disembarked if they are in range creating a chain of death for any deep strike army and unlike interceptor he doesn't prohibit you from shooting next turn as well.

And if you opponent plays smart they will stay 12inches away from Cortez give you that space between any deepstriking units and the rest of your army.
