Hey guys, I turn again to the BoLS community for some help in organizing my list for an upcoming tournament at my FLGS. :)
I'll begin by saying that I recognize my list isn't the most powerful; it's not relying on cheap razorbacks or deep striking land raiders. What I am trying to focus in on is bringing an attractive army that performs well up-close.
Anyhow, here's the list:
Mephiston
Reclusiarch
HQ Total: 380
Furioso Librarian Dread (has wings of sanguinius and shield of sanguinius)
w/ Magna Grapple and Extra Armour
205
Sternguardx5
Combi-meltasx2
Razorback w/ Storm Bolter
Total: 200
Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack
Corbulo
Total: 180
Elites Total: 585
Assault Marinesx10
w/ Jump Packs
Meltagunx2
Thunder Hammer
Total: 230
Assault Marines x 10
w/ Rhino
Meltagunx2
Power Weapon
Total: 240
Death Companyx9
w/ Rhino
Thunder Hammer, Power Weapon
Total: 275
Troops Total: 745
Baal Predator
w/ Flamestorm Cannon, Heavy Flamer Sponsons
Total: 140
Army Total: 1,850 points.
In this list, most of my units are hammer units and each unit will be moving forward in close proximity to my furioso dreadnought to benefit from the cover save if I'm at risk of being in the open. The Baal Pred will almost always outflank if I'm going second while if I'm going first, I might risk surging it forward if I sense it can get into a good position to fire on turn one.
The sternguard, in Blood Angels colours, I find look amazing and so I wanted a unit of them in this list, but they are total support. With Corbulo joining them, they have some added survivability and a slight punch in CC, but ultimately I hope to never have them in CC. Their razorback is equipped to reflect their role of shooting while not being overly costly.
I have few vehicles in this list and those that I do have that need to keep moving are merely rhino chasis. This is the biggest fault of the list that I can see. Hopefully, with speed in mind, however, I can bypass this by being on my opponent by turn two.
Anyhow, comments and criticism is always welcome! I might try to get a WIP thread going on in the modelling and painting forum. I'm not the best painter, but I'm patient and try hard with this. A close friend of mine has won best painted the last few times and I hope, with this army, I can really challenge him and compete for that best painted award. :)
Thanks in advance guys!
