I assume that you will STFS the aggressors. What is your plan for Shrike and the LT?

If you drop the 2 ML then you have enough points to add some ablative wounds to your devastator squads.

Other than that, this looks very good. Sooo much shooting from the aggressors, it will be devastating if you have first turn.

As an alternative; if you take a regular captain as your warlord you could give him storm of fire for the extra AP potential. Shrike's natural abilities seem kind of wasted on this list. 2 basic captains cost as much as Shrike, which means you could have one with the aggressors and one with your Devastators.

I'd swap out 1 lascannon from each dev squad, and make it a heavy bolter to let you use the hellfire rounds stratagem. With the Cherub, and signum, that's potentially 2d3 mortal wounds, hitting on 2s.

Otherwise, that's really solid.

Do the tournament rules grant extra VPs for destroying 10+ model units?

Since the bubblewrap infantry squads usually move, motar seems worse than a plasmagun...

Yes, one of the point options an opponent can select is 1 VP for each 10 man squad destroyed, up to 4. Though, if you wanted to free up 5-10 pts, I assume they are unlikely to take the goal if it's capped at 1-2.

This list is pretty close to what I was thinking if I bought Shield Captains, so I like the idea. Obviously never tried it though.

I'm with bort. Scarily, this is almost exactly what I'd probably be doing if I got custodes and more aggressors. But I don't think Shrike is worth it. I'd rather take a stock captain.

There's enough here to strike from the shadows that opponents will want turn 1, and the bikes are resilient enough that even if they get it, few lists will be in position to cripple you.

This is a flat out great list, definitely better than mine. If I faced you at a tournament and you got turn 1, I'd be toast, and if you get turn 2, I'm still sweating bullets and playing at a disadvantage.

This is a nicely crafted list, taking notes...

Hey everyone! So I put the aggressors at 5 man units, removed shrike and added a normal cheap captain as well as another devastator squad. I ended up placing 2nd with this list at a recent tourny.
