That's 2000 points on the nose and doesn't feel like total garbage, so that's pretty nice. Some suboptimal choices to force it into the Brigade but was a fun challenge to do so. Ravagers are looking reasonably costed and the 3 of them are pretty nasty Moving 14" and firing on 3+ or 14+d6 and firing on 4+ means they are hard to escape and against a hard target (such as a Knight) are looking at dealing around 7 wounds a turn. Against something like a Leman Russ or Land Raider that goes up a bit and against monsters even more.

I don't think this is an ultra competitive build by any means, it doesn't have the firepower to fight more than 2-3 superheavies, but it's reasonable against lists that aren't super lopsided. It may also be able to beat super heavy lists simply by holding the objectives whilst crippling htem. Not sure yet. Needs testing.
