So I've been struggling with my Ultramarines lists because they just don't seem to have the same punch that space wolves and blood angels have. Now I've pre-ordered the codex, so we'll see if that changes things. This list attempts to field a competitive, punchy list, that can kind of keep up with some of my harder hitting wolves and blood angels lists. Pretty simple concept, Guilliman for re rolls on everything, chronus for ultra cheap hq tax, vets for cheap access to storm shields and pretty much all the other wargear options, and stormravens for pure value - major anti-tank and anti-infantry gunboat with 14 wounds that's hard to hit and can move around and still hit on 3's. Each 5 man company vet squad can pop out when needed bringing 20 bolter shots, 3++, and 3 thunder hammer attacks from the sergeant if they get into combat. The idea is that in the early turns the vets can stay in the razorbacks, whittle things downs attrition style with the tanks/flyers while guilliman moves. Eventually bring out the 20 vets, preferably when guilliman buffs are in range, as a good beta strike.
