Ok guys... this list is already sort of "draft 2" for me... so heading here for more feedback:


Formation: Librarian Conclave: 3 librarians [290]
-Terminator armor, lvl 2
-Jump Pack, lvl 2
-Jump pack

Skyhammer annihilation formation:
Devs: 4x Grav, Cherub, Drop pod [250]
Devs: 4x Heavy bolter, cherub, drop pod [160]
Assault marines x10, jump packs, power weapon [155]
Assault marines x10, jump packs, power weapon [155]

Standard FOC:
Tyberos
Terminator squad, 5x Lightning claws (potentially run them as Red Brethren... )
Tactical squad: 10x, melta, Missile launcher +Flakk, Drop pod, +8x CCW (per chapter tactics) [218]
Tactical squad: Melta, Missile, +8x CCW, Drop Pod [208]
Whirlwind squadron with 3 whirlwinds (it's been suggested I call them Sharknado squadron )

Now I have an image of a squadron of WWs, with little shark faces painted on all the missiles.

Can you attach ICs to the skyhammer and still have it do it’s thing? Wasn’t that nerfed in the FAQ?

The only other things that pops out is the MLs. if you have meltaguns in the squads, I might just take the MM. GCs also work better on the move. Or just HBs, because they have bayonet lugs on them.

Can you just give 8 guys CCWs? Or is that a by-the-squad thing? (Honestly don’t know)

The charcaradons chapter tactic either lets them swap their bolters for a ccw, or purchase them for an additional 1 point per model. Also, they get like rage or furious charge after doing well in combat. Tyberos boosts that further if he's the one to get blood in the water.

I thought these guys hated psykers? Maybe I'm confusing that with the Templars.

Anyways my idea of a good space shark list is just swarming with marine bodies. So yours will probably knock mine out of the water

Correct. Nerfed.

I'll be honest here... the first tac squad I built, was using Betrayal at Calth marines, because they were originally slated for a different chapter, but didn't "look" like that chapter.... plus I just like the look of the "shark" style missile launchers

And Mr. Ghoti has the right of the CCW rule, per the free FW download, you can do the swap for free, or "+1 point per model" They automatically have Fear, and if they kill infantry (or cause them to fall back) they gain Rage. If Tyberos is the one who does it, he confers +1 strength to all models with Chapter Tactics for the remainder of the battle

As for them hating librarians... They might, but I don't recall off the top of my head. If nothing else, I do seem to recall they aren't entirely trusting of them... so they aren't used very often.
