Hello after some thought got a new list. Still pre heresy so can't include some things for fluff

Imperial fists

Hq
Captain, burning blade, terminator armour.

175pts

Elites

Terminators
Thunder hammer storm shield

225 pts

Contemptor
Kheres assault cannon

185 points

Troops
Tactical squad
10 men, vet sarge, plasma gun, combi plasma

Rhino

200pts X3


Vindicator

125

Dev squad
7 marines, vet sarge, 4 MM, combi melta

Rhino

What do you think ??

Although you have a very intimidating death star and anti-tank havoc squad, I feel a couple of changes could be made.

1st your HQ leading your death star is not wielding a hammer. YOU ARE IMPERIAL FISTS, UNACCEPTABLE

More seriously, you need more anti-armor than just those havocs. If you misplace them and they get wiped out, which isnt too hard to do, they're only 7 space marines, you're out of luck when it comes to destroying a tank. Consider taking 2 melta guns on 2 of your 3 tactical squads. Melta really kicks ass.

Also solo vindicators are really ill advised by anyone who's used them much. If you stick it far back in 4+ cover and use it to defend against a flanking squad it might do something worthwhile, if you really want to take just one. Otherwise i'd try your best to make the points for a second one and march them up the table with your 3 rhinos.

So how about this:
1500 pts

Lysander (Warlord)
5 Assault Terminators (Lysander)
Land Raider Crusader
10 Tactical Marines- plasma gun, combi-plasma, rhino
10 Tactical Marines- melta, multi-melta, rhino
10 Tactical Marines- melta, multi-melta, rhino
10 Devastators- 4 multi-meltas, rhino

This gives you a very heavy fisted army. What I mean by this is you have a low quantity of very high power attacks. You can obliterate anything you want, but only you can only kill 2 or 3 things a turn. You see an enemy deathstar? roll up the crusader, burn em up, and assault em with the hammers.
You see an enemy land raider? Throw 8 melta guns at it. Its vapor.

You have 2 weapons in this army, bolters and fething weapons of the Apocalypse (melta and thunderhammers)

You might have some problems if you get 3 squads of 40 ork boys thrown at you but who does that? Its all about FMCs and armor spam and deathstars these days, and this list should deal with them nicely.


If I were to expand from here I'd throw in 2 vindicators and a sorcerer or a 6th terminator in your LR

Lol he dosnt have a thunder hammer because he's going to be sigismund. It's going to be a pre heresy army but using the SM codex because I've heard the FW rules kind of suck

I've always loved vindicators, there pretty cheap can soak up moderate fire and IF the cannon hits on target it can feth gak up lol

And I will take on board the melta in the tacticals I only chose plasma to keep them at arms reach

Btw hate land raiders. IMO there just a massive bullet magnet that never really does what it's supposed to do lol

And sorcery is heresy back in the great crusade
