Hi everyone

So with the last chance open done with and I can relax from reffing and judging I been concentrating for my list next weekend

This is what we're thinking it a one day ITC event in Liverpool

Changed it up a bit from the shield captains taking some more guns for the backfield in form of some imperial fists so we got some ignore Los blocking stuff and because there imp fists they will ignore cover too (pesky reapers fire and fading :p) and gives me access to the tremor shell strat which will be useful for some units that like to charge turn one

Here the lists as always I will attempt to put up some bat raps from the event and let you know how it goes and I'll be making a YouTube channel to go along with this took so thank you to all the support people giving me

This is an interesting list. I'm guessing the two mixed Forgeworld units in that one battalion are Agripinaa for Kataphron resurrection and Ryza for plasma buffs?

I don't like the idea of Agripinaa in there, the enemy will have no reason to focus the Kataphron Breachers when their are much more dangerous and easy to kill Destroyers from Ryza also on the table. I also don't like all the small units of Rangers. I understand the Stygies VII ones for the super-sniper rifles, but the plasma wielding Ryza ones seem pointless to me. The plasma buffing stratagem works best on large units, why bother with units that are only carrying a single plasma weapon? I'd recommend combining the Ryza Skitarii Rangers into a few, larger units. ITC punishes small units hard, killing a unit and killing more more units that your opponent grant points every round, so having a bunch of minimum sized easy to kill units can be a problem.

I'm not sure how to best use Kataphron Breachers in a list like this, I think they need to have a list built around them to be really effective. Since Ryza's Forgeworld trait isn't really that useful to you I would consider throwing in some Graia units to that detachment. The Graia anti-psyker stratagem can be very useful, combined with a Command Reroll it gives you a 75% chance to cancel out at psychic power.

The enemy is always going to focus destroyers first but at 180 pts now breachers are a solid choice. Having play tested my own list they are better than grav destroyers and quite tough to kill particularly as the agripinaa allows them to come back

The cpt does need a thunder hammer and rangers at the back are better with an arquebus if they are at the front seitch to vanguard
