Nothing? :(

Looks entertaining enough. Not taking a mark is somewhat limiting, as icons of wrath are really good. But kudos for theme.

The marine units seem tacked on, what are they for? They could take a heavy weapon.

Very cool army. Should be fun to play and play against! If anything I'd say the balance seems very strong on anti-infantry and weak on anti-tank.

Agreed. If they are there for backfield objective grabbing, a heavy weapon seems better than a plasma gun. If you were to take say a lascannon each it would also enhance your ranged AT greatly and free up the need to deep strike your meltagun-Raptors in an anti-vehicle/monster role.

Thanks guys!

As for the no marks, the icons would reduce body count so I decided to bump the squads from 5 to 7 should help them survive long enough encase they don't make it into combat. They are multi role they can fight or they can run and shoot so I imagine they will be a major pain in the A**

AS for the troops, They are in there to hold back field objectives with the Contempter I can afford to swap one of the plasma with a las cannon but can't afford the second without eating into the chaos spawn which I am trying to avoid, I will definitely swap at least one of them.
