Hey all, just poking my head into 30k and considering this list for starting out.

Autilon Skorr w/ Pride of the Legion RoW - 125

Legion Terminator Squad: Sergeant w/ Power Fist + Power Dagger, 5 Terminators w/ Power Fists, all with Cataphractii Armor and Banestrike Ammo - 255

Legion Veteran Tactical Squad: Sergeant w/ Artificer Armor, Power Fist, Power Dagger, 9 Veterans w/ 2x Plasma Gun + Rhino - 255

Legion Javelin Attack Speeder w/ TL Typhoon Missile Launcher + H. Bolter - 55
Legion Javelin Attack Speeder w/ TL Typhoon Missile Launcher + H. Bolter - 55


This list is made with an intentionally low model count with the intent to keep enough infantry units to be able to all Infiltrate with Autilon choosing that warlord trait, thus allowing me to Scout with my Mutable Tactic while the Vets pick up Sniper. Or if I feel that I need to sit back, I can pick up the Stealth (Ruins) trait and switch my MT to Tank Hunter or Counter-Attack. The low unit count also helps with Martial Hubris and the focus on Troops helps the drawback of PotL.

However, I'm a bit worried with such a small model count. Do you think it'd be worth it to try to include another scoring unit for long range support? I'm not really sure what to try to fit in. Bolter Vets? Missile Vets? Seekers?

Also thought of swapping Plasmas for H. Bolters to make better use of Sniper, or just dropping them completely.

1000 points isn't much and unfortunately - and vets do a great job at eating those points up.
Also have you considered Skorrs RoW? It's risky but can deliver a greater reward if Skorr survives the game!

I considered Skorr's RoW, but I'm not sure the risk is worth it. All other things being equal, Skorr will probably not win a fight against another Warlord. He's kinda a wimp, so I'd rather not bank on his survival.

Don't bother with H.bolter on vets, expensive for what it does.
Drop bane ammo from terminators, it's kidna worthless. Give them 1 chainfist so that they can open vehichles.
Give javelins lascannon+MM+HKM. ANd they become nice can openers+they can kill 2+.
YOu can give rhinos MM, not bad choice at all.
