I made two lists, this is my first attempt to put together an actually usable list, not counting fluff lists for head cannon, on the table for my first game coming up. Any feedback on either or both would be very much appreciated.

One big problem with this lists is that terminator captain and librarian can't be both attached to the same squad. This means that unless you take 2nd squad of terminators one of them will be unable to buff a unit and will get shot pretty easily. Beside that, those lists look solid and fun to play.

Oh, I thought I could attach the librarian to a differnt squad that wasn't in terminator. Misread the data card. Thank you for that bit of info.

I took the librarian out, added a differnt squad, and made some other minor changes. I think this is a better list than the other two and cant wait to try my first game. Any tips or pointers for a complete first timer all around?

It looks like you're 40 points under. I tend to think the bladeguard ancient doesnt provide all that much. If you cut him you could afford another 90 point squad. Perhaps some Infiltrators would do you good?
