Hello,

next week I'll have a game against either Alpha Legion or Tau (I will find out the same day), could you please give me feedback about this list?

I have 10 lascannons, and I guess enough anti-infantry (although it will only come down at turn 2). The thing I'm worried about is that I will start the game with 1600 points and I don't know whether my marines will be able to soak all the punishment, especially my precious devastator squads. The primaris ancient goes with the intercessors who will march mid-field to contest objectives alongside the scouts.
The backline jump-pack will be my warlord.

Cheers,

Spado

Change the bolt pistols to bolt guns on the DC unit, its free. Dont run 15 models, even with lemartes they are vulnerable to morale losses. Drop it down to 10, add a company ancient with the standard of sacrifice and put him next to the dev squads. Or add some marines as ablative wounds.

Agressors. Always need aggressors - 6 + D6 shots EACH and they can either advance and fire, or stand still and fire twice. Cheap for their points.

Also - previous comment about Death Company and moral losses are very true. A librarian to give them a +5 invun helps (Shield of Sanginious), but a Chaplain is better (his leadership is 9 and he can share it). But I still don't run more than 10 in a unit. Drop the extra 5 and add the aformentioned Agressors.

But I highly approve of any list that has 10 Lascannons

I sadly don't own any aggressors yet but I plan on buying them as they seem to be good for melee aswell!

As you guys suggested I revised my list and came up with the following modifications:
