This is my best stab at a 1k list for pretty relaxed tournament coming up soon, my main question is swapping an iron clad for tac termies? and possibly getting rhinos in stead of drop pods... but i dunno let me know what you all think!!

Calgar-285

Tac squad-186
9 man
plasma
combi plasma
drop pod

Tac squad-172
8 man
plasma
combi plasma
drop pod

iron clad-200
two hunter killer
melta
heavy flamer
drop pod

devastators-154
6 man
2 plasma cannons
2 las cannons

drop the iron clad for more tacs or devs. calgar needs men. tacs and devs.

I agree 100%. Calgar is bonkers with Dev's. I would argue that the Dev doctrine is the best so really take advantage of it.

I would take two Dev squads with plasma's in one and Las in the other. Mixing ranges and weapon purposes is ineffective.

If you wanna drop something grab some a tac squad /w melta's or Stern.

also remeber, you can take a drop pod for a Dev squad, put the dev on the table, and drop the other two pods with your inf in them and leave the other pod for the next turn.

Could I forgo drop pods? And do almost like an all foot list with a lot of heavy weapons? Would that work at all?

Here is a stab at just a lot of marines but with as much fire power is I can get!

Calgar-275

Tac squad-175
Plasma gun
Las cannon

Tac squad-175

Dev squad-172
4 plasma cannons
3 extra marines

Dev squad-192
4 las cannons
3 extra marines

Man, Calgar is rough in a 1k list. Are you sure that's where you want to go?

instead of adding 3 guys to the dev squads you could take a 5 man tac with a flamer, or plasma gun.

I mean I have been practicing my games with him to decent success, I'm very very new to ultra marines so I will consider other ultramarine ideas.

Calgar is good at 1850 or above. At 1k I would go with Tigurius as your HQ. He is awesome.

I do like tiggy and I love my model xD, but still I will be sticking to to dev squads and Tac squads. I just don't know if I should drop pod or just go for more bodies... Also where would I put tiggy I feel he needs a big Death Star to be part of.

here is something you can do.

Tiggy- 165
5 man Honor guard w/ chapter banner and TH- 175
10 man tac w/ plasma gun, LC- 170
10 man tac w/ plasma gun, LC- 170
Land raider redeemer w/ MM – 250
Rhino- 35
Rhino- 35

its 1k on the nose

or you could change the tacs weapons to melta guns, drop the TH and grab1 more HG.

This list is using Calgar and most of my currently owned models for ultras. Also worth not there is zero proxy and I feel like it can handle most things, unless it isn't fast enough so let me know! Please and thank you!

Calgar-275

Tac squad-170
Plasma gun
Heavy bolter
Melta bomb

Tac squad-170
Plasma gun
Heavy bolter
Melta bomb

Dev squad-172
4 plasma cannons
3 extra marines

Dev squad-212
4 missile launchers
Flakk on all 4
3 extra marines

So I just found out restrictions for the tournament... haha so this changes things it as follows.

You may only have ONE heavy support,fast attack, and elite choice.

This is makes me think of going back to square one really of the three pod list with an iron clad and dev squad in the back... but looking for feed back with these new restrictions xD

lots and lots of tacs.

This is what I would run. Tiggy goes with the centurions.

HQ 165
Chief Librarian Tigurius 165

Troops 380
Tactical Squad 10 Man with Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon, Bolt Pistol, Power Sword, MB 190
Sniper Scouts x10 with Camo Cloak x10, Sgt Telion 190

Fast Attack 110
Attack Bike with Multi Melta x2 110

Heavy Support 340
Devestator Centurions with Grav Cannon and Amp, Hurricane Bolters, Omniscope x4 340

I really like this list, along with centurions but scouts and bikers just are not my thing.

I did think of kind of a goody list, because I have all the terminators. If I would take out Calgar and put in tiggy.... It would be something like this

Tiggy-165

Tac squad-200
Plasma gun
Las cannon
Power fist

Tac squad-200
Plasma gun
Las cannon
Power fist

Terminator squad-440
10
2 assault cannons


I think this idea is obviously risky, but with the restricted heavy support and what not I feel like ten terminators with tiggy buffing them up could be pretty scary.

10 terminators in 1000pts is way to much half your points are going on an ineffective unit that would be easy killed by blast weapons (I run 2 vindicators in 1000pts)

I would take another tac squad and a full dev squad with lascannons and put plasma cannons in the tacticals

Then tigarus can sit in the lines and buff squads like he's supposed to do
