Working on Finalizing a 1000 Point UltraMarines Crusade list.

My intent is to have a fun list with a loose theme that should still put up a competitive game. Only 2 Obsec Units but the TechMarine can provide the Dreads Obsec via his Aura Warlord Trait.

I also am used to having some deep strike but convinced myself the Infiltrators (& Warsuit) would be enough.

Tigarius I understand will not earn XP but I want the consistency and it is the Psyker I have printed for Ultras.

I plan to split the Infiltrators from 1x10 to 2x5 to maximize XP earning potential.

Concerned I am low on bodies, but should have some staying power with the dread castle, and enough tricks with Concealed Positions. I also plan to make use of Wisdom of Machine Spirit for the refill aura.

Happy for any feedback or thoughts you may have.

You'll be fine 2 dreads plus Tiggy and tech marine at 1000 is very oppressive... you may find you just walk through a fair few opponent's..

Only tweak I'd think is using a squad of incursors over one of the infiltrators for a bit of early mele punch use the extra points from that swap to give the redemptors the min onslaught as that's almost always better than the flamers
