Hello, Dakka!

Back again with a new fist of Medusa List.

C/C welcome, and as always below the list I will add a write up for information as to what I'm hoping to accomplish.

--------------------

Fist of Medusa:

Strike Force Command

Captain
Bike, Chapter Master, Artificer Armor, Thunder Hammer, Gorgons Chain

Command Squad
Apothecary, Bikes, 4x Stormshields

Librarius Conclave

5 Librarians
ML1, Bikes

Stormlance Battle Demi-Company

Captain
Bike, Shield Eternal, Artificer Armor, Thunder Hammer

3 Tactical Squads, all Identical
10 Marines, Rhinos

Bike Squad
3 Bikes, Stock

Devastators
Stock

Iron Guardians

Dreadnought
Drop Pod

----------------------


Now, the supporting numbers!

The Libbies and Captains both join the Command squad, giving us the following profiles:

Captain Profile:
WS6, BS5, S8/T5, 3W, I5, 3A, 2+ Armor, 3+ Invuln, 4+ FNP, Adamantium Will, Eternal Warrior, It will Not Die

Chapter Master:
WS6, BS5, S8/T5, 4W, I5, 4A, 2+ Armor, 3+ Invuln, 3+ FNP, Eternal Warrior, It will not die

ALL Librarians

WS5, BS4, S4, T5, W2, I4, 2A, 3+ Armor, 4+ FNP, It will not die

COMMAND SQUAD:
WS4 BS4 S4 T5 1W I4 2A 3+ A, 4+ FNP, 3+ Invuln

We get 12 models on bikes, very mobile, with a mostly 4+ FNP, possibly going up to 2-3+ based on Librarian spells, including all other psychic buffs (Including extra toughness), as well as IWND on multiple wound models, as well as a 3++ on basically 75% of them.

We then have the Tactical in Rhinos, if these buzz on up behind or near the Deathstar, they all have 5+ FNP AND the Rhino has IWND, as well as the Dread.

General idea is to be tough as nails, camp objectives and play the long game with this one. Win the war of attrition. Thoughts?

Iron hands and bikes... Not keen..

They like tanks and dreadnoughts mate

In Medusa Strike force, your guys going with Command Squad actually get at least a 3+ FnP.

I see your "boyz over toyz" approach, But I think some times you do need a few toyz throwing in. Your list looks just not having sufficient fire power to reliably handle nasty things like Imperial Knight, Wraith Kinghts and Monstrous Creatures and especially those have wings. You may want to have melta and Grav to do yourself a favour.

Also, if you plan on camping objectives, it would be better to take original Battle Demi Company instead of the Stormlance one. They have Obsec.
