Hey all, I have a tournament at the end of the month and could do with some advice.
It's 1k games from the new rules and house rules are no "super heavies" or "lords of war". Good mix of armies at the club where it is so could be up against anything.

Anyway, here's the force!


++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Imperium - Space Marines) [58 PL, 997pts] ++

+ No Force Org Slot +

**Chapter Selection**: Raven Guard

Gametype: Matched

+ HQ +

Primaris Captain [6 PL, 91pts]: Master-crafted auto bolt rifle, The Primarch's Wrath
. Warlord: Storm of Fire

Primaris Lieutenants [5 PL, 74pts]
. Primaris Lieutenant: Power sword

+ Troops +

Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 91pts]: Auxiliary Grenade Launcher, Bolt rifle, 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant

Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 91pts]: Auxiliary Grenade Launcher, Bolt rifle, 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant

Tactical Squad [5 PL, 77pts]
. 3x Space Marine
. Space Marine Sergeant: Chainsword, Storm bolter
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Heavy bolter

+ Fast Attack +

Inceptor Squad [10 PL, 135pts]: Assault bolter, 2x Inceptor, Inceptor Sergeant

+ Heavy Support +

Devastator Squad [8 PL, 152pts]
. Space Marine Sergeant: Chainsword, Storm bolter
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Lascannon
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Lascannon
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Missile launcher
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Heavy bolter

Hellblaster Squad [8 PL, 165pts]: Plasma incinerator
. 4x Hellblaster
. Hellblaster Sergeant: Bolt pistol

Thunderfire Cannon [6 PL, 121pts]
. Techmarine Gunner
. . Servo-harness: Flamer, Plasma cutter, 2x Servo-arm

++ Total: [58 PL, 997pts] ++


The plan is to infiltrate the devastators using the RG stratagem and deal some damage to any tanks early and use the thunderfire cannon to put pressure on infantry. Then the others just stick close together and make a play for objectives towards the end of the game.
Any changes/suggestions welcome, I have access to other models so can change around if needs be.

Many thanks

Not a bad list for 1k. If you use SFTS then use it for aggressors, they can take out whole blobs.

You have nothing in terms of CC support, which leaves your gun line open for assaults. Either screen with your troops or get some vanguard veterans that can come in for a counter charge.

A lot of players like to use scouts as their screens for 2 reasons. They aren't restricted to your deployment zone and they are cheaper.
