1845pts (may change depending on updated data sheets)

So the Task force are all fast and get scout (including the land raider lol) and the Orbital Intervention Force and Golden Host get to charge after deep striking and shooty termies can shoot twice (at different targets!)

Do you guys reckon this could actually do well? It's not a huge model count though

Cheers

Do you believe it can win against this?

I just don't know if the land raider is going to get its points back. I think you have two of the strongest formations so far from the book, but the armored task force is just okay. Personally I haven't decided on my list yet with the new supplement, but it's in the direction you are looking. Some troops may be good, like scouts with teleport homers. Or maybe just some tac squads. Then again I could just take a billion terminators and call it a day. Time to dust off my old pewter models.

Yeah I sort of agree. The land raider will probably just lol around a bit and die. He's fast and stuff but probably won't do much. It is very tempting just to take a second Intervention Force haha. Maybe I'll try adding some troops in the thicken it out as you said

Those formations don't have red thirst as its own, with termies it's not a big deal but sanguinary guard.. With ABSF you can add a san priest with jump pack with Dante for better stamina.

Land raider is a bit lol I agree, 250p compulsory tax :( maybe it will draw some fire few turns for sv2 models can do the performa magnifico with the enemy.

Well, my own list post has this same digesting with the new supplement. Ordered 4th DC and 2nd SG boxes. And seems that using new DC formations is too assault oriented.

I'm surprisingly disappointed with what we got to be honest. It's hardly what vanilla marines get. I feel like the only good things to come from it are the Intervention Force and Golden Host and maybe the DC formation. All our points limits haven't gone down to vanilla prices (termies are still over priced, vanguard power weapons are still over priced, etc).

I was pretty excited about having an Archangel list a bit cheaper but apparently GW want BAngels to cost more for no reason haha
