So, I actually listened to other forum members and built, what I think is a pretty decent list.

The army list is built around the 7th Blade, The Sundered, a Green Templars Crusade Fleet which was almost destroyed by the Ork Kaptain Toofsnatcha.

In return for repairs and resupply, Acting-Castellan Mateo Rojas has sworn an Oath to assist Vulkan He'stan on his quest to find the missing relics of the Primarch.

My battleplans follow the list.

This list builds around a few easy to control combos, namely 10 Infernus marines lead by a Librarian with Immolator that mount up in a Drop Pod (for some Headhunting), Vulkan and the Company Heroes to brawl in the midfield, and the anti tank punch of the Hammerstrikes and Eradicators.

Vulkan’s wound reroll can be utilized effectively by almost the whole army and allows you to absolutely crush any target whether it’s a block of infantry or blue armoured Primarch.


The two Hammerstrikes give them early range threats that can gang up on a single target or split up as needed with the speed to apply meltas basically wherever they’re needed.

Vulkan and his Company Heroes along with the Judicar and the Bladeguard Veteran Squad post up on an objective and demand your opponent commit heavily. The Infernus Marines with Librarian drop in, roast something, then threaten to do it again with Overwatch.

The Eradicators with Biologis can either go in the Redeemer or come in from reserves as needed.

(If they choose to go on foot, the Bladeguard and the Judicar can go for a ride.)

The Judicar and the 6 Bladeguard support Vulkan He'stan and his Company Heroes in the center of the table, while the 2 Impulsor units filled with 5 Infernus Marines provide drive-by support, and act as a QRF, reacting to threats as they come.



What do you think?

You've said that you frequently face Knights & Deathguard.
Did you take that into account?

Yes. I thought I could outscore them and I can toss out Devastating Wounds with the Infernus Marines.

I thought about using a Lancer for tank killing fun, but I dropped it for the Impulsors.

That's why I posted this here. I'm still not a hundred percent sure this list will work.

I know that Redeemers Flamestorm cannons look real tempting.... But I'd still go for the classic Land Raider & it's 4 lascannon shots.
But then I'm a firm believer in not leaving home without proper Anti-Tank capability.

And don't forget about the Grenade & Tank Shock strats.

I can swap out the second Intercessor Squad for an Impulsor for Vulkan and his squad or I can grab a Lone Op Lieutenant with Combi Weapon.
