Hi guys!

First list with the new codex an trying out some new toys. Here it goes:

Dante = 225

3 Sanguinary priests + 3 Jump packs = 225

10 Assault marines + Lightning claw, melta bombs, 2 meltaguns = 230

10 Assault marines + Lightning claw, melta bombs, 2 meltaguns = 230

10 Assault marines + Lightning claw, 2 flamers = 215

Furioso Dreadnought + Blood talons, Drop pod = 160

Stormraven + Multi-melta, locator beacon = 215

TOTAL= 1500pts
KP = 10

What do you think? Any good?

you don't need the drop pod for the furioso- put the furioso on the stormraven.

I am surprised you aren't taking any sanguinary guard! Just one squad with bells n' whistles, ya know? Put it in the stormraven...

That is a good point actually, lol

Although I probably wont go for bells and whistles just a an infernus pistol and melta bombs on the one of the priests.

It's abit of a funny decision really.

Assualt squad would have 5 more wounds with a 3+ and FNP. 30 attacks on the charge, 3 of them with a LC, 3 of them re-rolling to wound.

Sanguinary gaurd would have a 2+ and FNP. 15 attacks on the charge, all re-rolling to hit on one miss.

Shooting would play a part in the process of course but I feel I would rather make my opponent roll more dice all at once. ;)

Edit: Oh! the drop pod is just for abit of tactical flexability.

Yeah, that's why I suggested only one squad of sanguinary guard. The cool thing with Dante is that they are troops.

Give 'em the banner! Those 20 attacks on the charge at I5 and Str5 will clip some heads!

I don't think you need three Sanguinary priests- you just need to have enough wisely placed priests...

Also check out those Vanguard Vets. They charge on deep strike n' scatter only d6. They'll smash something the turn they come in!

Where would you suggest I take the points from for the banner?

The Drop Pod and one squad of Assault Marines should easily pay for a Sanguinary Guard squad.

Ok so abit of a change up:

Dante = 225

3 Sanguinary priests + 3 Jump packs = 225

5 Sanguinary Guard + Chapter banner = 230

10 Assault marines + Lightning claw, melta bombs, 2 meltaguns = 230

10 Assault marines + Lightning claw, melta bombs, 2 meltaguns = 230

Furioso Dreadnought + Blood talons, Drop pod = 160

Stormraven + Multi-melta = 200

TOTAL= 1500pts
KP = 10

Realized I only had to drop the locator beacon to get the SG with a chapter banner but I still think the droppod is a good Idea for those tricky deployments.:p

Anyway, what do you think now?
