Hey there...gonna play my first real "semi-competitive" games tomorrow and needed a hand building a 1250 pt list. Below is what I have started so far:


Ezekiel (145)

7 Deathwing knights (612)
Dedicated Land Raider Crusader w/ storm bolter

2x 6-man Tactical Squads (114 each)
both with plasma guns
Sargents have plasma pistol/chainsword

Devistator Squad(150)
Heavy Bolter
Lascannon
Lascannon
Missile Launcher
Sargent w/ PP+Chainsword

Predator(110)
Autocannon
Heavy Bolter Sponsons
HK Missile
Storm Bolter

Total 1245


So far, the idea is to shove Ezekiel in with the knights to chase down any real threats, while armor/anti armor mows stuff down. Adding other models is no problem, as a friend has 6K pts in Angels and is letting me borrow whatever i need...so aside from forge world stuff, the sky is the limit. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Ezekial with knights is a nasty combo. T5 + ws6+lvl3 pysker?? awesome. Others will say you can do better then this but I like it and if you do run with it. Just put a MM on the LRC

The tatical squads.....drop the plasma pistols to start. Secondly, what do you expect to get from these squads? Backfield campers? With 6 marines and no transport they wont go anywhere. 10man in rhino with just an assault weapon and meltabombs works best for me.

Dev squad. WOW. you have anti infantry mixed with anti tank. I would honestly drop the heavy bolter, drop the plasma pistol(totally useless on this squad far more so then the tac squads), go with all lascannons or all missile launchers. If you want both i would say go 2 and 2 but make it a 10 man so you can split the squad.

Predator drop the HK and the sb. not needed here at all. if you upgrade go with sponson lascannons not the tl lascannon as the autocannon and las can both be anti tank

ok...made some of the edits you suggested. Had to cut the demo squad completely to stay within the points limit.

so far:

Ezekiel (145)

7 Deathwing knights (622)
Dedicated Land Raider Crusader w/ storm bolter + Multi metla

2x 10-man Tactical Squads (190 + 195)
both with plasma guns
1 Sargent has melta bombs
each squad has a rhino

Predator(95)
Autocannon
Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Total 1247

Couldnt change the pred's sponsons to lascannons...cost too much with this config. Would running a dreadnaught instead of the predator be of any use?

unless you run into land raiders or monoliths it looks good. Needs a bit more AT but if you get deathwing knights and Ezzy into melee you are basically killing a unit every turn or two.

Drop a DW knight and grab the LC sponsons and some combi weapons for your sarges.
