Hey Guys,

I’ve got a 1750 Tournament coming up shortly and have put together the below list.

The intention is that the dc deep strike with Lemartes t2 to take objectives and the 10 man squads will charge into combat either against vehicles of monsters.

Hellblasters captain and ancient will camp in cover and shoot things.

I’ve made ol’ slams my warlord cause I want him to have the 5+++ I’ve found it’s incredibly reliable in keeping him on the board (has literally soaked up 1000pts of shooting in a turn and was still standing). He’ll get charged in t1 with 4cp or will support the storm raven.

I’m thinking of dropping the storm raven for two preds with auto cannon and las cannons. I realise they’re bad like shoot yourself in the foot by accident bad but it would mean more bodies on the field to be shot at?

Shameless bump. Any thoughts on the list?

Drop the storm raven and get mephiston or a libby dread. Get inceptors, a stalker is nice against FLY, give your scouts a ML for flakk missile.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I don’t really have the CP to run the flak missile strat, I’ll leave that to the smurfs to abuse. I’ve removed the SR and a 5 man dc squad for Mephiston and two Inceptor Squads. I’ve also added 3 men to the 10 man dc squad to make it 13.

Thoughts on the changes?

Changes look good. Why bolt pistols on DC ? Boltguns are free, have 24" range, and double the number of shots at 12".

They are currently modeled with pistols and I am waiting for chapter approved to come out before I start cutting things off just in case they change something. The plan is to give them Boltguns if there are no changes.

I'd exchange the second captain for a sanguinary priest personally. Even if he just stays back with your hellblasters, they have the possibility to recover wounds or revive dead marines on a 4+, as well as the +1 strength.

The captain is meant to sit back with the hellblasters for reroll ones. Think with chapter approved coming out next week I’m going to have to make tweaks to this list in any case.

Fair enough, I missed that.

I suppose that way you can use the supercharge shots without having to risk mortal wounds.

So seeing points drops to date I have tweaked the below the list to the below.

I have added a sanguinary Novitiate for the heal / bring a dude back to life and I have swapped the captain on foot for another smash captain.
