I have my first game against Tyranids on Monday at 1000 points. I don't know if he's going to bring any serious 200+ point monsters, but I feel like I have to be prepared for it. The Jump Ints, Infernus, and Eradicators are all 90 points. This is for Gladius.

Captain w 15pt melee enhancement
leading Company Heroes
2 x 5 Heavy Intercessors
3 x 5 Intercessors
1 x 5 Assault Intercessors w Jump Packs
2 x 3 Eradicators
1 x 5 Infernus

Is that a valid strategy against Tryanids? Thanks.

What's everyone equipped with? In terms of special options.

Do you have a plan for what Stratagem(s) your Company Heroes squad will make use of?
If not, consider swapping it for a Lieutenant and merge two of the Intercessors into a 10-man squad. 40 shots (plus Grenades) with Lethal Hits is pretty brutal.

Overall, looks like a fine list. Not perfect, but provided your opponent is here to have fun and not noobstomp, I think it'll be a good game.

I got the Lieutenant with Combi Weapon in the Leviathan box, built it, and haven't thought about it since. I had no idea that the base Lieutenant could give Lethal Hits to tacticus squads for 55 points. That's very cool. Thanks.

Yeah. I'd advise reading all the Space Marine rules, if you can. Lots of good stuff!
