HQ - 354pts

Kor'sarro Khan on Moondraken
Librarian on Bike: Force Axe, Armor Indomitus
Culexus Assassin

Fast Attack - 760pts

Scout Bike x6: Sgt w/Stormbolter
Scout Bike x6: Sgt w/Stormbolter
Scout Bike x6: Sgt w/Stormbolter
Scout Bike x6: Sgt w/Stormbolter
Scout Bike x6: Sgt w/Stormbolter

Heavy Support - 882pts

Hunter x9: Stormbolter, HK Missile

1996pts, 5 CP

And that's it. I think Scout Bikes are not used much, and unlike regular bikes get a pistol AND combat knife for an extra CC attack, stack em with Kor'sarro and they get 5S on the attack too. Shooting, each squad is Rapid fire 14, 24", and within 12 they get their Shotguns added to that as well for a total of 40 shots before the CC attacks. Also, Hunters? How have I missed these guys. Flier units are more common and scary as hell, Hunters hit ground just as well as anything else, are basically a 60" Lascannon that gets to reroll misses. And it's T8, that makes a difference. Gonna rep this as soon as I can to see if it works as well as I think it might.

I think Scout Bikes are sneaky underrated especially with White Scars Tactics.

I think a Lieutenant adds more value than a Librarian. Heck even a Captain on a bike would add more force multiplication. The Lieutenant can’t take a bike but a jump pack keeps him maneuverable and allows him to deep strike. Or just park him next to your Hunters. You could probably even squeeze two in for mostly the cost of the Librarian.

I didn’t realize Hunters were only 90 points. Predators give your more offense per point. But your Hunters give you more Wounds.

Fun list. No one expects all Scout Bikes and Hunters, that is for sure. Out of curiosity, do you actually have all these models? That would be kinda cool if you did.

I think you're totally right about the Lt instead of the Libby, if things go as planned I'll be rolling A LOT of wound dice. Mostly I like Libby/Culexus combo, I've had good runs with those against Psyker heavy lists like Death Guard and Nids. But in this case I'll probably swap them both our for jump pack Lt's, one of them with Primarch's Wrath. I don't currently have any models painted for White Scars, just Salamanders and was getting started on Raven Guard, so this is one that I won't be able to field properly for another year or so. I don't think anyone will be expecting this list either, and that's always kinda nice. Thanks for the feedback!
