The list takes two Redeemers to compensate for the comparative weakness in infantry - I know that they die quickly, but they might hold on long enough to disembark a scout marine squad onto an objective, last turn.

I guess this list is an extremist move away from the troop-based shift that 6th edition brought on. I said "I want more tanks" rather than "I'll take more infantry".

If you want more tanks, why not have a master of the forge as a HQ. cover save and can repair.

Why term libbys?

LRs are 250 base.

Perhaps you might pull out some wins, certainly is some good armour there.

And I'm pretty sure they can do it from safely inside the LR. MotF would also be very fluffy for this list, as save a few points.

It looks balanced for what it is. You want tanks, you took tanks. You are light on troops, but you know that. You seem to have a decent mix of horde and armor guns. I might pick up some multimeltas on the LRs, they can be nice to have. I would also advocate HK missiles for everything. You first turn should be to saturate fire on every AT thing in the opposing side.

Why spend all those points on the librarians? They dont really mesh well with the rest of the list IMO. What are they planned to be used for?

Also taking scouts for objective campers and not taking camo cloaks for 15pts is a mistake. A 2+ gtg cover save is well worth it.

Actually Land Raider Redeemers are in fact 240 points.


Looks like a list that would do well to me. So long as you focus on anti-tank parts of the enemy you should be able to breeze through.

EDIT: I would drop the terminator armour on the Libbys and let them ride in the tanks casting powers.

They can't cast powers in the LR - it has no firepoints

Where are redeemers 240 points? What have i missed?

Unless you have a misprinted codex, Page 143. That's without the MM though, which is almost required. I'm not sure if they were first introduced in another place at a different cost, but I think they have always been 240 base.

this if for vanilla marines, if your looking at a BA book their points are slightly different on acount of being able to deep strike......Suprise LANDRAIDER!

The razorbacks need to be dedicated transports (scouts can't take them). So as is this list is not legal.
