I like the list, I just want to point out the Helbrute Plasma is pretty solid. Helbrute does not have degrading stats, and their plasma is one of the only STR8, multi wound Plasma in the game that only does 1 mortal wound on a 1 (which is reroll if in Lords bubble), Appose to a model being removed outright or multiple mortal wounds like a leman russ.

Thanks that is actually a good option, i have to see if i have the bits for the plasmas.

Pretty cool. I love the rapiers. Good mix of guns and combat.

Does the lord make sense pointwise to buff them? It's only 1s you can reroll and only on four units although it's for close to 50 shots a turn.

I played a list, that included a big lord of war, and approx 40shot, the RR to 1 id a great addition, and does make a difference, specially with big damage guns.

You need some HQ, you can always use a DP with the same <legion> who gives the same bubble, and can jump out to smack someone if they get to close.

40 shots, RR 1's is great. And the fact is things will eventually get into combat, so the 1's work in CC also.

Plus helbrute who do hurt themselves, on a 1 roll, get a chance of shooting all over again!
