Hey I thinking of a full assassins list for 8th edition, what do you think.

the concept is to have a full list of assassins. it would be great if they had an HQ choice of a grand master of assassins but I've had to make do with what I've got available.

Vanguard detachment (or what ever the elite one is called)

HQ choice
Space Marine Captain (88)
storm bolter
power fist

Elite choice
5x Eversor Assassins (350)
1x Culexus (80)

Heavy Support Choice
Predator (191)
Predator auto cannon
2x Laz cannons
Storm bolter

Vanguard detachment

HQ choice
SM lieutenant (81)
power sword
combi grav

Elite Choice
4x Callidus Assassin (340)
2x Vindicare Assassin (180)

Heavy Support Choice
Predator (189)
Predator auto cannon
2x Laz cannons


I have included 2 predator tanks so that i can deal more effectively with vehicles. the intention is to have the captain and lieutenant sit behind the predators for the re roll ones to hit and wounds.

I would start with the Predators, captain, lieutenant, culexus and vindicares on the board. The rest would come in turn one.

any feed back is appreciated.

Hmm My suggestion if your wanting to be super competitive with it. Is to drop the Preds and Captain and replace with 2 HQ Chaplain Dreads with Twin lascannons. They have the character special rule and 9 wounds each meaning they can't be targeted easily and you can have your Culluxes absorb all the fire (Would shuffle your assasins around a bit till you have 2-3 Culluxes.) forcing your opponent to hit on 6s or if they move with a heavy unable to hit at all.

Thanks for the advice. Ill Have a look into it.

Ive changed the list to have:

6x Eversor assassins (420)

3x Culluxes assassins (240)
2x Vindicare assassins (180)
1x Callidus assassin (85)

HQ choices at the moment are:
sergeant chronos
inqu greyfax (85)
1x inqu (66)
- plasma pistol
- power sword

+ hunter killer missiles in the press sergeant chronos starts in(6)

ill sub the preds and chronos out once I've found the chaplain dreads

total points 1499

Just remember that half of your units have to deploy on the table in matched play.

Ive changed the list cause i flip flop like a fish out of water.

HQ choices
Inquis Grayfax (85)
Inquis (71)
-inferno pistol
-power sword
2x Librarian dreadnoughts (414)
-melta
-furioso fist
-furioso force halberd

Vanguard detachment
2x eversor
1x vindicare
1x culexus

Vanguard detachment
2x eversor
1x callidus
1x culexes

Vanguard detachment
2x eversor
1x callidus
1x culluxes

The aim is to have the hqs be escorted up the field by the culluxes assassins. deep strike everyone else.

i would use the inquisitors to cast terrify to reduce moral and stop overwatch, and smite.

the dreads will cast blood boil and smite.
