So in effect I just shove hard with infiltrating Packs/Shrike/Suits/Vindicators. 1st turn 1st Chappy Dread is master of ambush with Cents. 1st turn 2nd Chappy is Echo of Ravenspire AND canticle of hate for flanking charge along with Cents 'Striking from the Shadows'. Either way the opponent deals with to s of heavy Metal in their face.

There isnt any indirect but the assault marines and Shrike could ace them if needed....there is so much immediate threat here.

Its basically an in your face brigade with most if not all 15CP up for flexible usage. Big Guns Never Tire is probably the only Guaranteed usage against any and all other armies.

Thoughts? This IS a GT list for this year. Thanks for input.

I like the overall aggressiveness of the list. A couple things to be aware of:

Infiltrators stratagem is limited to Infantry units.
Master of Ambush was FAQed to Infantry for the HQ, you can't use it to forward deploy a dreadnought character.

Well, it doesn't look bad.
But you have some mediocre units in there.
I'd consider Eliminators and Aggressors dropping the brigade and taking two detachments.

Too many scouts. Go with 3 units. They're too squishy. 3 will get you the initial board presence at game's start.

wuestenfux is right in bringing in, in what I and many of my SM buddies say, is one of SM's best units, Eliminators. So much of the meta is character buffage and Elims are a very thorough answer to that.

And Aggressors. Except for DE ravager-discans, Aggs stand up to a lot of punishment. A 10 man crew establishes great board presence, the ten 32mm bases being so much bigger than 25 mm. Agg guns's volume aren't to be ignored, either.

I think the Jump SMs and Vindicators aren't up to today's standard.
- Is there a strategem that gives the Vins something special for being a trio? Their liability to be destroyed and yielding Big Game Hunter isn't worth their 7e damage out put.

- Filling in the Fast Attack slot for a brigade ought to be done with Suppressors and their autocans, S7, 2 damage each. I know it hurts to see models that aren't going to be played (baby SM are going the way of squats), but 1 wound models don't have a place in power armor lists. That's my opinion shared with a few SM buddies.
