Yet another Guilliman gunline. This list goes for an all infantry gunline to save points, as well as maximize the utility of the banner of the emperor ascendant (3+ to shoot with an infantry model that's been slain). Screening the gunline, as well as providing mass small arms fire and objective secured are 80 conscripts supported by two commissars and two company commanders for first rank fire second rank fire on all four units. I think 80 conscripts is more than enough to ensure the gunline can't be charged. The devastator squads are mixed throughout with the various heavy weapons in order to make weapon target priority impossible for the opponent, total heavy weapon breakdown is 10 lascannons, 10 plasma cannons and 8 grav cannons across seven squads, all with cherub. Obviously everything is re rolling to hit and wound. By adding the third cheap HQ, in this case a primaris psyker, I was able to shift the list into a battalion and spearhead detachment, rather than two spearhead detachments, so it's 10 CP in total. The Devastators won't be getting the ultramarines chapter tactic of being able to fall back and shoot because of the AM hq's, however the list is designed to hopefully not need it. IDK, it chucks out a ton of re rolling firepower, fields 120ish models with about 150ish wounds, and screens very well. Appears to have game against mechanized list, elite infantry/walker lists, as well as other blob lists, as 320 lasgun shots should get the job done against nids and orks and what not; and I also tried to favor rate of fire a little, going with a good amount of plasma and grav cannons to ensure a good shot spread. 10 lascannons it bordering on too many, but against really heavily mechanized lists I want to reliably be able to pop 2-3 vehicles in a single round of shooting.
