SM lieutenant (74)

-storm bolter

heavy support choice
3x predators (574)
3x 2 side las cannons

1x twin las cannon
3x storm bolters

= 1498 pts and 6 command points

Ive chosen to go with ultra marines cause of telion and i intend to get chronos for larger point games.

any thoughts would be appreciated.

This scout list seems like a pretty neat idea! Like it!

If you plan to play from cover, take the cloaks on the scouts!

Thanks for the advice.

What should i cut for the camo cloaks?

Vindicere assassin would be a decent drop. Unless he had a specific task in mind.

I have him in there to help with killing characters.

Ill drop him and see how it goes.

The LS Storm won't transport more than 5 scouts. Also they are pricey, I'd drop them. Regular Land Speeders actually do better but are still not very good. But at least they still fit the theme.

Camo cloaks are great but pricey. Also take a missile launcher on one scout to both be able to use the Flakk missile statagem and the Hellfire stratagem for 2d3 mortal wounds extra per turn.

I'd drop something thunderfire cannon. I know that whirlwinds are better but it can repair preds. Great with Chronos combo. If you switch to landspeeders a whirlwind autohits with that combo stratagem. But at this point you might spend a lot of command points/turn.
