Alright, trying to get this together for a few local tournaments after a buddy bet me $200 I couldn't place in the top 25% in any GT with a list that had land speeder storms as the only transport.

I think I have my bases covered, minus my super tiny model count. But how can I improve this?

My idea was to put the shotgun scouts in the storms and drive them up. Ideally, a first turn 20 strength 5 shots in my opponents face, a bunch of heavy flamer hits. Use the other scout squad to zone off deep striking.

The lieutenant, Captain, and techmarine all sit back and throw anti-vehicle pain up the field. Using the storms to call in Whirlwind autohits

On turn 2, deep strike the librarian and terminators, throw down a smite and veil of time. 32 storm bolter shots and then a power fist charge.

Any thoughts?

I feel like the best use for a land speeder storm is to protect a squad of scouts and get them to objectives at the end of the game.

If you want scouts to last till the end of the game give them cloaks and camp them in terrain.


Honestly this list looks pretty nasty. As for the bet, your use of speeders is kinda low and i'd be a bit miffed as your friend who bet you. I'd have been expecting at least 5-6 speeders lol.

Any thoughts on what to take out to add another battalion of scouts and storms?
