Troops ride in the Razorbacks to hold down objectives, melta/axes for some added punch if needed. Plasma Veterans and EC in the Stormraven. Chaplain TH/SS terms deep strike in along with the Vanguard Vets to kill/tie up dangerous targets. Captain supports where needed with long range aura (Crusader's Helm) and bike movement.

While the Heavy Bolter feels like an odd choice on CruA, I've always liked the look of heavy bolters and the new stratagem for mortal wounds seems like it could be appealing. Interested if anyone else sees real value here.

Aiming to keep a little Black Templar style with effective assault units while maintaining solid fire support. Not looking to be super competitive but a fun varied list that can hold it's own against any army, any mission. I have a solid arsenal of painted space marines/1 House Hawkshroud Crusader Knight (no Primaris stuff yet) so any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!
