Hello everyone, i made this list for friendly play and wanted to see what feedback/criticism it might get if I put it on the field across from you! I also made this list as a “paint these models” hint to myself the army is mostly 75% painted with the big boys (redemptors only primed and base painted green thus far) but besides that is almost done! Let me know what ya think.

I’ve also attatched a picture of the painted models I have for Primaris so far and if possible would like to use a fully painted army. I hate the “Sea of Grey” idea as it feels more pay to win for myself! Thanks in advance!

based on the list I would probably choose different warlord trait and relic for your Warlord, probably something from the basic Marine codex.

Any suggestions? I’m still pretty new at 9th edition

Rights of war is always a good choice, though it may take some playtesting

yeah, Rites of War would be decent to give obsec to your dreadnoughts. It might also be worth trying to find the points to make Captain Deathwing so that he can only be wounded on 4+ without spending CP.
As for relics, the stalker bolt rifle in Codex: SM is really good but perhaps you could keep a DA themed one for your Lt instead. Either make his blade a Heavenfall blade or his plasma pistol Atonement.

I appreciate all the feedback I’ve made a few tweaks to the army list I decided to keep the brilliant strategist trait only because I like the extra AP ability being a thing for certain weapons especially with the extra turn for my heavy weapons. I’ll be facing thousand suns and that all is dust buff they get is killer so I’d rather not be shooting against a 2+ 3+ save army the whole time. Plus with the dreadnoughts and squad of stalker bolt rifle Intercessors I doubt I’ll have much backfield issue with the 2+ stand still hitting.
