I have just put together this list on the train and I thought I'd put it up here to see what you chaps have to say about it before I buy the rest of it and get cracking.
I did not want to put Roboute in until I did 3k at least but im not sure my list would cope versus another primarch, what do you chaps reckon ?

I used the age of darkness forge org and the Logos Lectoria


HQ

Delegatus - artificer armour, legatine axe, charnabal sabre, refractor field - 105
Forge Lord - artificer armour, Refractor field, Cyber-familiar, power weapon, augury scanner - 120
Damocles command rhino - 100


Troops


10 Man tactical squad in a rhino with twin linked bolter + Dozer Blade - 195
10 Man tactical squad in a rhino with twin linked bolter + Dozer Blade - 195
14 man tactical squad

Elites

Honoured Telemechrus - 255
9 man Invictarius suzerain squad - Land Raider Proteus - 500

Heavy Support

five man Heavy Support Squad with missile launchers, flak missiles and hardened armour - 235

Vindicator with laser destroyer and armoured ceramite - 150
Vindicator with laser destroyer and armoured ceramite - 150

Leviathan Siege Dreadnought - Siege Dril, Storm Cannon, Armoured Ceramite - 305


Delegatus goes with Suzerains in the LR
Forge Lord chills behind the Vindis with the tactical squad on foot

I would like to use most of what I already have which is the marines, the levaithan, a contemptor, rhinos and the suzerains.
I was going to buy two vindis and the land raider to finish it off, maybe there is something else I should be looking at instead ?
Im not sure that my HQs will be up to the job, maybe I should squeeze in the avenging son ? let me know what you think.

don't you need 3 compulsory troop slots? also, ditch the augury scanner on the volkite squad, give it to the forge lord, and run him in that unit. Double-also, I keep seeing this in UM lists specifically: why the rhinos? You're the largest legion and massively benefit from multiple, larger squads due to legion rules, so why does no one seem to want to take larger tactical squads in UM lists?

ah yea you are right, the legion support squad cannot fill a compulsory troop slot, I missed that.
I already have the rhinos so I used them and I thought that it would be best not having three squads on foot.

I could sack off the rhinos I guess and have three 13 man tac squads or I could just use a normal contemptor instead of telemechrus and go for a three fifteen man tac squads.
I could also keep the two rhinos, swap the dread for a normal contemptor and get a third 18 man tac squad on foot.

Im thinking get rid of the rhinos and both support squads and then take three twenty man tactical squads on foot !

Dozers on Rhinos and Drop pod for Dread.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet... I think you lack a model with the Master of the Legion rule (unless Telemechrus has it in which case ignore this) and as such can't use the Logos Lectoria Rite of War. Rites require a model with Master of the Legion to use.

Cant use any drop pods with Logos Lectoria sadly, I would use one on the Leviathan if I could.

You can use a Damocles command rhino instead of the master of signals chap.
Cheers lads.

You still need a model with Master of the Legion. A Praetor or Guilliman will do, but the MoS doesn't have it. The prequisites are:
Master of the Legion (obtained via a Praetor, Delegatus, Guilliman, or maybe Remus Ventanus)
A third compulsory Troop
A Master of Signals/Damocles Rhino
No Deep Strikers or Infiltrators.

You have most of these, but you still need the Master of the Legion. I'd suggest dropping the Chaplain for the Delegatus.

The UM rules really strike me as an army based around small units, because their benefited by having more units to take advantage of the rules. 4 10 man Tac Squads would be better then 2 20 man squads, because you could get more boosted bolter fire on more targets this way, or assault more units with the boosts as well. The larger your squads, the more you're bound to just picking out one target at a time, for lack of your own options.

Ok man I see now thanks, I wil do exactly that and swap the chaplain out for the Delegatus, I did wonder why a lot of list had one in.

Good point, smaller squads mean you can select more targets, and having a rhino means better coverage too I guess.

I decided to keep the two ten man tac squads and I added a third larger squad on foot for the third compulsory troop slot, these can stay with the forge lord.

I also swapped the chaplain for a delegatus so I can use a rite of war, was tempted to just sack the rite of war off, but then where would be the point eh !

I'd upgrade the proteus to the Phobos for the assault vehicle status
Downgrade telemeckrus for the points if needed.
