I am aware that this is an army mainly based around shooting, please do not put any comments of putting CC units in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2477667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2477667.page GMT Re:2K Blood Ravens list. lol, since you want shooty take something like Null and any shooting power you like and drop him with one of the other sterns. With the remaining 45 points give yourself a mix of combi-weapons in each squad something like 4 mg in the first 3 in the second and 3 PG in the third. That way when you come down you can have them combat squad and pop transports with mg and than unload with your special ammo on whats inside.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2477772.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2477772.page GMT 2K Blood Ravens list.
Sternguard should have a mix of combi weapons. I favor melta's but every now and then, I'll throw in a combi-plasma or combi- flamer.

I agree, your army would benefit greatly from a librarian w/ null zone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2478260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2478260.page GMT Re:2K Blood Ravens list.

So drop 5 from each squad giving you 130 points and one of the locator beacons.

Couple of things, why do you think snipers suck and what is the point in adding PG when I can use vengence rounds?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2480200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2480200.page GMT Re:2K Blood Ravens list.
one more thing to note, you should take out the exact costs of things that's a big no no. just list the totals for the squad and all upgrades together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482035.page GMT Re:2K Blood Ravens list. sw > two 10 man. Anyway the reasoning is so you combat squad the ones with the sw's vengeance rounds don't help with 2+ saves. I do advocate for telion if you can find points elsewhere though being able to snipe off power firsts etc is invaluable at times.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482842.page GMT 2K Blood Ravens list. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2482980.page GMT Re:2K Blood Ravens list.
Predator, Las sponsons - 120

Predator, Las sponsons - 120

Devastators x5 - MLx4 - 150
Razorback - 40

that's 70 points leftover I would still suggest dropping each down to 5 and dropping the powerfist from the one stern squad you don't want to be assaulting with them anyway. That's 225 points to play with so with that said something that looks like this

HQ - Pedro Kantor - 175

HQ - Librarian - Null, Smite - 100

Troops - Scouts x5, Snipers, CC, HB - 110

Troops - Scouts x5, Snipers, CC, HB - 110

Troops - Scouts x5, CCW, Combi-M - 85

Elite - Sternguard x10, Combi-M x3 - 265
Drop pod - 35

Elite - Sternguard x10, Combi-M x2 - 260
Drop pod - 35

Elite - Sternguard x10, Combi-P x2 - 260
Drop pod - 35

Fast - Land Speeder Storm, MM - 65

Heavy - Predator, Las sponsons - 120

Heavy - Predator, Las sponsons - 120

Heavy - Devastators x5 - MLx4 - 150
Razorback - Las/Plas - 75

That's 6 scoring units, a turn 1 melta/tie up squad in your opponents face. 4 AT capable pieces of armor and one squad with AT and AI weapons and this is all before you drop the hammer literally on turn 2+. Yikes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2483501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2483501.page GMT 2K Blood Ravens list.
With the Scouts I'd probably take bolters, yes they still hit on a 4+ and wound on a 4+ but Scouts job is to hold objectives so if anyone comes close you can rapid fire them. Only benefit sniper rifles have is rending. I've used snipers before and they're meh.

Sternguard are pretty cool.

Land Speeder is pretty cool but really should come in pairs. Drop that Razorback from the Devs as it's not doing a fat lot. The Devs are pretty cool but I'd add another Pred TBH as it costs 30 points cheaper and has the same number of shots and average strength is the same giving more armoured targets.

Consider this:

Pedro Kantor

Librarian

10 x Sternguard w/ Drop Pod - Pod w/ locator beacon

10 x Sternguard w/ Drop Pod

10 x Sternguard w/ Drop

5 x Scouts - bolters

5 x Scouts - bolters

5 x Scouts - bolters

Land Speeder Typhoon

Predator - lascannon sponsons

You should still have some points left so you could perhaps squeeze another Scout unit in there. Btw, I've missed off wargear which you need to put on, I couldn't be arsed to type it all out ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2484237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348701/2484237.page GMT
