going to a 40K doubles Battle Brothers tournament at the end of the month and looking for some feedback on this army. Originally we were going to be white scars and Imperial fists, but after some playtesting have decided on a pure white scars army.

HQ Korsarro Khan
8 man bike squad 2x grav guns power weapon attack bike with multi melta
8 man bike squad 2x grav guns attack bike with multi melta
land speeder with heavy bolter and assault cannon


HQ Librarian on bike
7 man bike squad 2x melta guns melta bombs
3 centurions with grav cannons and grav amps. Land raider redeemer

Cheers

So what is the rules for the BB tournament? The Librarian lead army doesn't appear to contain any troops? Also how many points is this?

My advice is reduce the size of the bike squads to 5 men. Run them like this:

5 Bikes: 2 Gravguns, combi grav 145
Or
4 Bikes: 2 Meltas, MM Attack bike 159

Running Centurions in a Landraider also makes no sense in this list, that's what 500 points? You get 15 grav shots when you could instead take:

Command Squad: Bikes, 5 Gravguns 210
Or
Command Squad: Bikes, 4 Gravguns, Apothecary 210

You could get 2 of either of those units for the points you've spent on that Centurion Unit. Landraiders are cool but too muchstuff just iinstance gibs them now. 1 Landraider on its own wasn't a great idea in 5th when they were much more survivable in 6th it is a terrible idea. Landraiders need to be used en masse in conjunction with other High AV units to work. They have no place in a bike list.

Its a single army so all bikes are troops, I just divided it as what we would each control. My mistake! Command squad seems a good idea but it would be combi grav rather than grav guns so not as effective. The landraider was put in as a way to get a 12" scout move for the centurions, who would be in range first turn. With re rolls to wound they would take out most things and present a threat to be dealt with. This means the scoring units I.e the bikes would not be targeted straight away. But yeah it is a case of all eggs in one basket at 500 points!

You get a 12" scout move with the bikes to so the 2 command squads would also be in range and you get either 24 or 30 Grav shots from them compared to the Centurions and save yourself 80 points into the bargain.

Also they wouldn't be combi grav they would be gravguns. Check the FAQ you can take special weapons on command squads. The Grav Command is one of the power house units in the codex.

Nice fluffy list. Like it. Except for the Centurions. I don't quite see the use of a 2+ unit with no Invulnerable save.
