    Default Making A Command Squad Death Star

    Hello B.O.L.S,
    My friend quite recently challenged me into designing a powerful fluffy space marine command squad.
    He plays Imperial guard/Astra Militarum and his command squad contains officers and navigators, all fluffy units that have some effect on the game so I set out organising a Death star/ Op / Fluffy Command Squad.

    It takes up Two HQ Slot and One Heavy Support and cost 1075 points.
    It's Essentially a Chapter Master, Chaplain, 2x Tech Marines, 1 Apothecary, Champion, Banner Bearer, 2 Veterans.
    Any Possible Improvements I could make?

    Total Points: 1075

    HQ - Chaplain (1 model) - 125pts
    ----------------------------
    1 Chaplain - 125pts
    -Teeth of Terra

    HQ - Command Squad (5 models) - 285pts
    ----------------------------
    3 Command Veterans - 215pts
    - Two Lightning Claws
    - Standard of the Emperor Ascendant
    1 Apothecary - 35pts
    1 Company Champion - 35pts

    HQ - Chapter Master (1 model) - 235pts
    ----------------------------
    1 Chapter Master - 235pts
    -The Burning Blade
    -The Shield Eternal

    HQ - Techmarine (1 model) - 90pts

    1 Techmarine - 90pts
    -Servo-Harness and Power Axe

    Isn't Marneous Calgar available as a Command choice anymore? With his storm bolter gauntlets and nearly invulnerable armour I should imagine he would be a decent option.

    The shield eternal is best paired with a thunder hammer. It makes them tough enough to take the enemy attacks and swing back at S8 concussive. The burning blade is best with a pistol to get the most attacks out of it at high initiative.

    I've considered using Calgar, However; my force is a Imperial Fists Successor chapter and a lot of my tactic is based from their chapter tactics.

    I will consider swapping out the Burning Blade for the Thunder Hammer, I think concussive with be hugely beneficial

    Thankyou for your Feedback

    Chapter Master is tougher.
    I am the Hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor. I am the tip of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist. I am the woes of daemonkind. I am the Hammer.
