Total points so far for this unfinished list is 1590. The general plan is to stay true to WB combat doctrine and charge forward with a mass of fanatic marines. Zardu can join either squad and choose his powers to either give a daemon rolled tac squad cursed earth, 4+ cover with pyromancy, or summon daemons to bolster my numbers. Apoths will join tacs as well but if any roll for daemon they can join the missile squad. What is the best way to move forward? I was thinking sniper veterans in rhinos, 5-man support with flamers in rhino, biker command squad, or even changing up my troops set up to 2 10 man tac squads and allying in militia for huge blobs of zealot rending cultists. pls help

Edit: will mainly be playing 40k tau, eldar, and necrons if that helps

I like the boarding shield on the chaplain, but if you're fighting Eldar, Tau and Necrons, then the effect is mostly wasted as those armies don't want to be in combat anyways.

I'd take a unit of Gal Vorbak in case nobody rolls Deamon on DC. And a Diabolist with burning law would be nice as a backup for deamonic marines with cursed earth.

What's the best way to run Gal Vorbak? I feel like a Phobos, dreadclaw, or Spartan is near mandatory as having them foot slog would have them gun downed before doing something meaningful. Would 10 foot slogging with a void shield harness be viable?

As per the faq relics are only.intended for campaign games and need oponenets permission. Best use is either type of assault drwadclaw or a raider / Spartan.

Alternatively zardu and the blade slaves + characters actually fit into a 10 man transport and the blade slaves pack a good punch.
