Now obviously the list cannot be ran the same as it was, but thanks to codex-wide point reductions and the ability to take allies I believe the list can be made stronger as a whole.

Fast attack
2x Vendetta Gunship 260

780

Total: 2,000

My plan when constructing the list was to saturate the board with scoring units. I can have up to 10 scoring units, depending on how the Infantry Squads are deployed. Each unit brings a good amount of special or heavy weapons fire to the battlefield, allowing me to take down a variety of targets.

The Chapter Master is my "clean-up" unit. He can take down almost any scoring units in CC, once any transports have been destroyed buy my ranged firepower. He will hide behind my transport wall until a good assault presents itself.

The unit of Vendettas is my sole anti-air. A single Heldrake will ruin my day, but two Vendettas should down one Heldrake per turn.

In total I have 8 Missile Launchers, 12 Lascannons, 8 Plasmaguns, and 7 Melta weapons spread across many different units. Plenty of firepower to go around.

I have been strongly considering replacing the Chapter Master with the Emperor's Champion (to ride in a Rhino) and an ADL with a Quad-Gun (for cover and additional anti-air). Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410267.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k EC. they ran together, and I used a power axe with the Chapter Master so they were both striking at I5.

But what I liked about the chapter master is 4 wounds. and the shield will give him eternal warrior and 3++. That makes him a lot more survivable and makes you less likely to lose a Slay the Warlord VP, However, leaving your warlord with no unit of his own is also kind of risky. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410550.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k MM and that may firm things up better. Getting a couple (ideally 3) drop pods out there would be good so the Captain is not in the front lines alone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410565.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410565.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k MM?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6410730.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k lol. Same with Drop Pods. I like having a mechanized ground presence.

I do have two Attack Bikes with Multi-Meltas though. Maybe I can find 110 points to bring them in as a bodyguard for the Chapter Master! What should I drop, though?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411254.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411342.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k

Do you really need 2 devastator centurion squads?


I have no Centurions in my list. I am using regular Space Marine Devastator Squads (dudes in power armor) with Missile Launchers. They are a huge part of the list, as they offer anti infantry AND anti-tank (frag & krak missiles) at the 48" range band. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411387.page GMT Black Templars & IG 2k http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572034/6411400.page GMT
