I have a few suggestions tho.

why put the MM and melta in the drop pod squad? i get that melta is huge in the meta right now but that squad is going to be focused right away like all drop squads that need to be that close to punch. For the exact same points you can swap for a 5 man stern guard squad with 3 combi meltas and they still all get the SIA. I understand that 10 guys > 5 guys but when half of the 10 cant take saves from bolters that squad looks like it likes to run away.

that last 7 man squad with the heavy weps seems a bit out of place, one good large blast and that squad is gimped. for their points and the lone drop pods points you can take a vindcator or a real 5 man dev squad with any weps you want. Take just reg missiles and you could add a man to your bike squad. Alternatively you could go with a dread in that drop pod with a MM and power fist with a Melta.

adding a little more specialized punch to this list or another Tank/dread could make this list a true contender for top 3.

First off, thanks for taking the time to look at my list.

Now that you bring it up, you are right about the odd 6 man crusader squad, I can't be just throwing a random unit in the list to fill points. 129 points can go a long way at 1.5k. But, I can't drop both small crusader squads as I still need 2 troop choices.

Options for dropping the 175 point drop pod crusader squad-

Command Squad- 175
x4 Marines w/ x3 combi-melta and or meltagun, 1 melta bomb
x1 Apothecary
- Drop Pod

Sternguard Veteran Squad- 175
x4 Marines w/ x3 combi-melta
x1 Sergeant
-Drop Pod


Now the 6 man Las/Plas crusader squad worth 129 points... (My list is sitting at 1499)

Vanguard Veteran Squad- 130 Points
x4 Veterans w/ x2 Power Swords
x1 Sergeant w/ Power Sword
Jump Packs

Dreadnought- 135
w/ MM, PF
-Drop Pod
(The only way I can squeeze this guy in is by dropping 5 points in the list which isn't very hard to do.)



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, I did some reworking on the 129 point squad and was able to get some more bodies out of it.

Crusader Squad- 130
x5 marines w/ Bolters, Missile Launcher, Flamer
x4 Neophytes w/ Bolters

Crusader Squad- 130
x5 Marines w/ Bolters, Flamer
-Razorback w/ TL Heavy Bolters

Though I think the top one would be better. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690299/8643390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690299/8643390.page GMT [1500] - Black Templar FNP will put the hurt on any back field.

A quick Question tho, what is the lone Drop pod in your fast attack for? in my first set of rec's i took that out and used the points on the devs and vindcator. TBH i dont see a empty DP helping this list at all even if it had the missile upgrade.

I, for one, always run a Tankard in my army. Dread with AC and PF with a heavy Flamer in a DP, i feel like if your going to take the Comand squad in a DP a 2x melta Dread will really do nasty things along side your comand squad.
