Hi there, I'm Gary and I'm returning to gaming from a five year absence, Second time attending my club again and I was approached and asked if I'd like to take part in a upcoming Tournament, Fully painted and based Army type, I said sure why not, while I have a little time to paint what's left to paint I've also come across a gap, and that is what is a decent list nowadays. Anyway here's my list.

HQ
Interrogator-Chaplain in Terminator Armour - 140pts

Troops
10 man Tactical Squad - 180
- Veteran Sgt, Missile launcher, Plasma Gun
10 man Tactical Squad - 180
- Veteran Sgt w/ Storm Bolter, Missile launcher,
10 Man Tactical Squad - 190
- Veteran Sgt, Missile, Melta
5 Man Tactical Squad - 110
- Veteran Sgt with Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon

Heavy Support
5 man Devastator Squad with Lascannon Razorback - 215
- Veteran Sgt, 2x Heavy Bolter, 2x Lascannon

Elite
5 Man Deathwing - 245
- Thunder Hammer and Storm Shields
5 Man Deathwing - 245
- Chain-fist and Assault Cannon

And yes I am aware I'm 5 points over,

Personally I would trade some of those Tac squads in for ravenwing bikers and trade the Chaplin for a librarian on a bike as well. But I like fast mobile armies.

What else do you have in your arsnell

If you're going to go with the interrogator chaplain tool him up for close combat. Give him the mace of redemption.

Have No bikes, I've never liked bikers

Nice Idea, I didn't look at chapter relics origionally, now where can i take the 30 pts from, hmmm

I like the list. Its very old school. Need a ageis for anti air though. Maybe take a banner of devastation since you have so many tac squads and bolters. Drop the HB for more las. Drop the chaplain for a lib with prescience. Just my 2¢ though.

I would probably drop the 5 man tac squad for an aegis with quad. Just me though

If you're going tactical-heavy you may wanna pick up the SM codex as you can build more efficient tactical list (no stubborn and potentially better chapter traits) and just take DAs as a small ally detachment with the termies and a scout squad. Just a thought.

No Lib in my collection, and I've never been one for psyker power's, they just don't do it for me. I went for the HB's as I don't know what other armies are in the tournie yet and if there are seem horde armies I thought it may be a fair trade off to go half and half in case or horde or armour heavy.

No allies allowed in the tournament is what I heard, also as there already all painted as DA, seem's wrong to say, oh btw these DA are actually IF and reroll all ones on my bolters. lol

are aegis worth the points and the money, never looked into them, also seems a waste to have a line of walls when all my tac marines will be moving forward to get into assaults, I used to be a stationary player and just shoot the gribblies out of people but This time round I want to play more aggressively. Allthough am I able to just take the gun or do I have to have the wall's aswell?

Well since you have a lot of marines, try this.

Change the chaplain to a jump pack add in MoR

Add in 10 assault marines keep them behind the aegis and other tacticals

add in a devastation banner

remove some deathwing and add in some more tacticals and make it 3 devastator squads also drop the razorback

having A BUTTLOAD of marines with the dakka banner then just camp out intill late game if they come to you they will die a horid death.

I would suggest 3 units of 5 devs with 4 HBs posted behind the aegis and make your tacticals use las cannons.
Then add a defense line and your set.
