I usually run armies at 2Kpts

This first try is attempting to maximize the impact of the Drop Pod Assault and the Alpha Strike with MSU

Crimson Fist Main Detatchment: 1436

Pedro Kantor: 185pts

Sternguard Squad (8 man): 281ptst
• 3+ men
• 6x combi-weps
• Drop Pod

Sternguard Squad (10 man): 345 pts
• 5+ men
• 8x combi-weps
• Drop Pod

Tactical Squad (5 man): 130pts
• Melta Gun
• Combi-Melta on Sgt
• MB on Sgt
• Drop Pod

Tactical Squad (5 man): 130pts
• Melta Gun
• Combi-Melta on Sgt
• MB on Sgt
• Drop Pod

Tactical Squad (5 man): 130pts
• Melta Gun
• Combi-Melta on Sgt
• MB on Sgt
• Drop Pod

Assault Squad (5 man): 100pts
• 2x Flamer
• MB on Sgt
• Drop Pod

Assault Squad (5 man): 100pts
• 2x Flamer
• MB on Sgt
• Drop Pod

Thunder Fire Cannon: 135pts
• Drop Pod

Ultramarine Allies Detatchment: 572pts

Tigurius: 165 pts

Scout Squad (5man): 112pts
• 4 snipers w cloaks
• Telion

Command Squad (5 man): 210pts
• 4x Plasma guns
• Apothecary
• Drop Pod

ADL: 85pts
• Icarus Lascannon (35pts)

I think I might be over 2k by 8pts, but can shave off a meltabomb or a Sternguard here or there if necessary

The idea here is that Tigurius and Pedro ride down with the 8 man Sternguard squad and open up a can of pain on anything nearby

The second Stern backs them up, and with 9 pods, you'll get 3 more pods on round one.

You can use the tacs for anti-tank, the assault for anti horde or ablative wounds, and the command squad as a plasma bomb to kill something nasty

Telion and the TFC hold your backfield, with possible reinforcements in future pods if you get flanked.

Well, that's what I came up with in my first hour with the codex, any feedback is welcome.

I will eventually consider to exchange the UM Command sq. with another IF Tactical sq. (plasma-ed) and even drop the TFC for a couple of Tank hunter Devastators units.

The Command sq. sound a little too pricey (and Tigurius wouldn't go with them anyway). Besides, even if I truly love the TFC I can't imagine it particularly reliable in a field filled of Drop Pods and friendly targets. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552075/6068820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552075/6068820.page GMT First Try at a Crimson Fist Drop Pod army with the new SM Codex: Feedback Appreciated!
TFC and droppods is a big nono]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552075/6069028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552075/6069028.page GMT
