Really, really want a 30k army. Really, really want to paint Pre-Heresy World Eaters. Seems like a good fit! I figure 40 charging, jumping psycho dudes with axes and various power weapons would be horrifying, plus a blade-fingered maniac leading the bunch. Oh, plus another 10 dudes launching off crazy rad weapons and blasting with pistols (and a Moritat added for good measure). Two 3-strong Jetbikes squads skirt the edges and blast armor. I don't expect to play any "competitive" 30k games and this list is already dizzyingly expensive right now, but it is definitely something I am considering buying.

Thoughts from you Heresy-era players?

Looks very well themed to me

Maybe give the praetor a paragon blade instead of lightning claws

Give the moritat plasma pistols as this will massively increase his damage output

And drop the plasma pistols on one of the assault squads they arnt really needed and probably won't be used very often. Drop the missile launchers on the destroyers aswell for the same reason.

But other than that looks good for a fluffy list

The wierd thing is, short range shooting actually reduces your ability to assault, as the closer models die. I would take a full squad of 20 assault marines, with a primus medicae and jump pack over the moritat. (If they can take a JP)

The MLs on the Destroyers have Suspensor Webs, so they are 24" Assault weapons.

I do like the idea of shifting the Pistols over to the Moritat - good call. I might shift around the power weapons for the squads a bit then, so they all have a variety.

Paragon Blade does seem a good idea too. AP2 over AP3 and the +1 Str too. And I should have a spare one because I don't plan on using the one from my current Praetor.

The Moritat is going to go with the Destroyer squad, so their emphasis is shooting anyhow. And being limited to the single Consul because I opted for Berserker Assault limits that.

You think two squads of 20 would trump the three squads?

Personally I prefer small 10man squads it gives you more of anobjective grabbing capacity

Also in 20 man squads you can fit more under your templates. And don't forget legion marines can run off the board

I still don't see any need for the missile launchers tbh

And don't forget that the paragon blade has instant death rending !!

With this many assault marines I would suggest wrath of angels rite of war as hit and run and furious charge work better, but as a world eaters force its quite fluffy, also consider 2 contemptors with grav guns as haywire blasts eat tanks easily and they draw away fire from your other units quite nicely

See, 30K has a hell of a learning curve. I didn't even THINK of that Hit & Run option and to be honest, that suits me fine. Would be a way better choice. Also, as much as I like Contemptors, I am not sure I want something that isn't super-fast. Hence the Jetbikes... plus, holy crap Jetbikes are gorgeous! Also, for the Missiles. S4 Fleshbane AP3 blasts are a good way to make a hole in enemy Marine squads. Plus, the squads have them and honestly, I just love the models. I know, I am impossible.

I am going to work up a list with all these awesome ideas factored in and see what congeals. Hehehe.

Also 250 for 10 assault marines is a waste, drop the 10 man unit and increase the size of the others or add more jetbikes, volkite culverins is what they should rock.
All your sarges need melta bombs and articifer armour too

So, went for Meltabombs on the Sky Hunters, so they can still pull some anti-tank, but will focus on anti-infantry. The squads themselves all have a variety of weapons, the first two squads have the Fist and Hammer for anti-tank, plus loads of power weapons and whatnot. The last squad has more of an emphasis on anti-infantry. Medicae goes with that squad to protect them, Praetor too for the whole overkill thing. Not sure it is better than the first list (but this one is legal!). Still, emphasis on Jump dudes and Jetbikes. Not sure what Legion to do, because this suddenly doesn't feel to World Eatery... if that is a word.
