Let me know what you guys think.

I am making full use of psychic powers and stratagems to get the librarian dreadnought into combat in turn 1. After all modifiers his weapon is S11 has 4 + 2D3 attacks hits and wounds on 2+ with AP -4 and damage 4. He is kind of the star of the show.

This list did ok in my last practice game against a custodes and AdMech soup. I lost 20 to 32 but I did slay the warlord turn 1 with the librarian dreadnought. As always I do blame the dice, I rolled an exceptional amount of ones.

I worry how it would perform against a horde list. I may get tied up in combat by chaff for too long to be effective.

Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Looks fun. Try playing some horses and see how it works

it may just be your paint scheme? but why ultramarines? I love my ultramarines but in a tournament list if you're not taking characters over chapter tactics may serve you better *glances at raven guard shiftily*

Ultramarines because I don't want the Redemptor tied up in long combats with chaff. I want him to be able to back up and shoot. But I do get the point about RG. I do loose more units to long range fire than combat.
