So my FLGS will be hosting a 2200 point league in the coming months, currently we went from 1500 and now 1750 to help new players establish a good foot hold into the hobby. But the 2200 league is going to be a rough one. There is zero restrictions outside of normal army building compositions. (At 1500 we did not allow any super heavies or LoW.) But anyways, so I asked if I could run my Legion and the coordinator said as long as you have rules for it and can answer any questions about the army to your opponent. Another question I have, will a Legion list stand up against normal 40k armies and do well?

Just got the new book...these points are going to need some changing.

With the new book, you should have saved quite a few points! Just from the changes of the tactical and veteran squads, you have about 95 more points to work with. If I did my quick math right.

I would recommended getting 2 apothecaries with those points, to make your 20 marine blobs even more resilient.

Also with the change to the Moritat, I wouldn't recommend 2 plasma pistols. Since you now overheat on 1s and 2s. Would be better to take the volkite pistol and a plasma, and when making shooting attacks make sure you roll for the volkite first.

Also since you are playing Imperial Fists, you have access to assault cannons on your terminators. It should do better against MEQs than the autocannons.

EDIT: Regarding your question for 30k vs 40k armies, you will feel the disparity against the armies with access to decent formations (gladius strike force, necron decurion). The abundance of special rules and free units/upgrades will make it an uphill battle.

another note on the moritat: I wonder if there actually worth it any more: Plasma has overheated on 1's and 2's since a few years ago AND NOW they can only pump out a total of 12 shots max with their pistols :(

To be honest by the time you get to 2200 you will be having a hard time against formations, However your army isnt particularly vicious which it would need against a 40k force these days, the lack of sigismund+templar bretheren means you will probably die quite easy.

Are you expecting to win or just have fun?

Will this be maelstrom missions? If so, I second Touhi's suggestion of a pair of apothecaries. You should toss them in your 20 man blobs and park them on a pair of objectives.

325 points for a tactical squad with a pair of heavy bolters is a huge point sink. I know that the Veterans get the extra attacks, but you're still tossing 10 dudes in a rhino (non assault vehicle). For 325 points, you can have a heavy support squad with 5x weapons, using the HH Imperial Fists Tank Hunter ability on them and still have points left.

Why? And where are they going? The Moritat will get shot off the table if he's jump around by himself. Are you planning on deepstriking the Moritat and blasting away? Is the vigilator just walking around with a blob squad?
