Been drafting up a somewhat competitive list to play at the local GS. I usually play with the models I customize the most, but I'd like something that has some real teeth. Honestly, it's not that far from what I use already, mainly some point adjustments and a couple units switched out for some Predators, but I'd like your thoughts on the list.

The goal is to screen with the Tac Squads for the first couple turns while I shoot stuff, then let them advance to objectives while whatever is left over gives cover fire. Thoughts?

Seems nice if you can keep those helbrutes alive at least 2 turns

As always the list would be better as an alpha legion with the -1 to hit.

If you dropped the chaos lord and change the marines to cultists you could squeeze in a daemon Prince with wings for some fly.

3 units of 20 cultists will do a better job screening and countering deep strikes.

Overall though I like the list.

The lists viability really depends on what kind of tournament you are going to. Lists for local tournaments that only use scenarios from the book will look entirely different from nova lists.

This list is just for a local club with friendly games from the book.

I really wanted to play my custom Defiler and Daemon Prince, so I made some adjustments. Not sure if having those two will make up for the reduced amount of SP and Obsec troops.
