I still think you can make a serious assault army with this codex. Just trying to get it right. The Chapter Master just seems too good to pass up as does the Honour Guard. The reduced cost plus blind function of the Cerberus has made the LSS possibly worth it again after 6th nailed its main function. Here goes:

Chapter Master: Shield Eternal, Thunder hammer, Artificier armour 230
Chapter Master: Storm Shield, Burning Blade, artificier armour 220

5 Honour guard: Chapter banner, axe, 3 mauls, sword 160
6 Honour guard: 2 axes, maul, 3 swords 160

5 Scouts: CCWs, Powerfist, Combi-flamer, LSS heavy flamer 145
5 Scouts: CCWs, Powerfist, Combi-flamer, LSS heavy flamer 145
5 Scouts: CCWs, Powersword, Combi-melta, LSS multimelta 145
5 Scouts: CCWs, Powersword, Combi-melta, LSS multimelta 145

Landraider Redeemer: multimelta 250
Landraider Redeemer: multimelta 250

Storms hide behind Landraiders plow into enemy. Disgorge violent death into enemies face.

seems pretty sweet. i had the same idea with the chapter master, seems pretty op.

No other advice or is this perfect?

Can the HG take a dedicated LR? IF so that would be sweet id only throw im some vindis to finish the list off.

Just a thought, will you have enough troops to hold objectives? Just after the first assault a smart opponent would use his remaining forces to finish off your surviving troops - especially if your opponent goes first, he'll have two turns of softening you up before the honor guard get in range of assault.

And obviously you don't have very much in the way of Anti-Air, but i assume you don't care about facing flyers, or you don't expect to fight opponents with flyers

Honour Guard do not take the Land Raider as DT, but it can be selected as Heav Support

I've 20 scoring bodies. All fast moving, that should be enough at this point level.

As for flyers this list doesn't really care about them. What flyers do you expect would cause this list problems? They get at best 1 turn of shooting before I flood the deployment zone. I just don't see that this list needs to pay attention to flyers it is all about winning the ground battle.

Its the exact opposite of what I would have expected. I was expecting a ton of Dreadnoughts in drop pods!

As for the Landspeeder Storms, glad to see someone else has spotted how useful they can be.

Seems pretty solid.

Would you not be better off with Crusaders?

Yeah Crusaders are good I wrote a BT assault list too. I wanted to use the IH CTs for this and you know how I love Landspeeder Storms shame 6th smashed them with the nerf bat bit this codex has really helped them. The Cerberus launcher is awesome now. 2 times out of 3 my Scouts will be hitting Orks in combat on a 3+ and getting hit back on 5s!!!

Agreed i think the LSS has been given a new lease of life with this dex.

I just figured the LRC would serve you better than the LRR as the hurricane bolters give you better chances of dropping the FMC's from the air as well as mowing down horde numbers prior to assault. Also your flamestorms won't see much use as the contents is more than enough to splat anything you may use them against.

LRR is cheaper that's why it got the nod. Both are good in different ways.
