Believe it or not, this is actually a project I've wanted to do for ages. Whilst I realise the limitations to a list such as this, I feel that it is capable in many other ways from a conventional Marine list and remarkably fluffy. 1000 points, Baal Strike Force Captain ~ Artificier Armour ~ Combi-melta, relic blade, melta bombs, auspex ~ Storm shield or Veritas Vitae ~ Warlord Command Squad ~ Meltagun (3) ~ Drop Pod Scout Squad (10) ~ Sniper rifle (8) ~ Heavy bolter with hellfire shells ~ Boltgun, melta bombs Scout Squad (10) ~ Bolt pistol, close combat weapon (7) ~ Shotgun (2) ~ Veteran Sergeant, melta bombs, bolt pistol, chainsword Scout Squad (10) ~ Bolt pistol, close combat weapon (7) ~ Shotgun (2) ~ Veteran Sergeant, melta bombs, bolt pistol, chainsword Scout Squad (10) ~ Boltgun (9) ~ Boltgun, melta bombs Scout Bike Squadron (3) ~ Astartes grenade launcher (2) ~ Combi-grav, melta bombs Tarantula Sentry Gun Battery (2) ~ Twin-linked lascannon, camo netting (1) ~ Multi-melta, searchlight, camo netting (1) Options Captain will arrive with the Command Squad as this is the best way to keep up with the Scouts. Torn between a storm shield (with this being my only real "beat" squad, I'll probably need to tank stuff) and the Veritas Vitae for that tactical advantage (thinking here to Infiltrate the Tarantulas, possibility of getting Night fight, Stealth in Ruins across the board, and/or other such stuff). Bikes will either Outflank or Scout to make use of the combi-grav. Not sure what best synergises with the grenade launcher though... I've also opted for a BSF to make use of the two (possibly four) combat Scout Squads. Whilst I could use a CAD with potentially eight Objective Secured Squads, I don't feel that they have the durability to pull it off, even if the stars align and I get Stealth everywhere. One interesting twist is that I could trim the "shooty units" from above and use it in conjunction with the 10th Company Task Force from Codex: Space Marines. This could represent the "Elite Scouts" of the BA army and I could even use Telion to represent Captain Borgio of our 10th Company. Thoughts?

Sup team. Wanted to share what i've been dabbling with since the last balance update. Have to say i'm LOVING the modifications to costs/points/rules. I've been having crazy success with the following list: Captain - RFW Jump Cap - Shield/Hammer Jump Chaplain - Fist Jump Chaplain - Fist 10x Jump Intercessors 10x Jump Intercessors 10x Jump Intercessors 5x Assault Intercessors 5x Rievers 5x Scouts 5x Incursors 3x Outriders 3x Outriders ATV ATV Pred Annihilator Pred Destructor Ballistus Invictus Warsuit Impulsor (I was running the ATVs with the outriders, and had one more squad of outriders, but i think for tourney play i'd probs run the rievers instead of the 3rd outrider squad, and the ATV separate). Note that there are no BA units, to make use of the Liberator detachment rule AND the +1 to wound. The shooting and fighting and mobility is just so so good, and I've felt really in control of all the game at all time with access to a variety of tools. How you guys doing?

Hail Brothers and Sisters! Have my first games for a very, very long time this week and wanted the communities feedback on my intended list and how to run it. Restricted by what I own as just starting out. Tournament escalates from 500 to 750 to 1,000 points over 3 rounds and we vote what to add next round e.g Vehicle however this restriction isn't that important. First round is combat patrol rules so learning those. Then reverts to standard rules. Ideally this is a learning experience with both 10th edition maneuvers and units for a 2k list. At the moment my list is; Librarian in terminator armour X 1. Ballistus dreadnaught x1. Baal predator X 1. Jet pack intercessors X 5. Intercessors X 5. 500 points on the dial. Not ideal to not run the Librarian in a squad. Leaves me with the dilemma about starting him on the table or not. The alternative list is; Librarian in terminator armour x1. Terminators x5. Ballistus Dreadnaught X1. Jetpack intercessors x5. Or intercessors x5. Loose the Baal predator and either mobility or shooting from a squad so both play a bit differently. Any ideas please? Thanks, Brother Raul.

Greets, all !! I'll be in Shanghai this weekend for the team tournament along with 10 other 6 man teams! I'll be taking my BA in preparation for the WTC Warmasters in Belgium this year. (no placement hopes, obvs, just want the cool experience!) But, I'll be taking this Fleshtearers list!!! GLADIUS BA Gabriel Seth Biologus - Firce Disc Captain - JP, Hammer, Shield Librarian Dread -HF DC Dreadnought - 2HF, Magna 5x Scouts - 1shotgun, 3 CCW 5x Scouts - 1shotgun, 3 CCW 5x Jump Intercessors - 2Plasma, 1Fist 5x Jump Intercessors - 2Plasma, 1Fist 5x Assault Intercessors -1Plasma,1Fist 5x Sanguinary Guard - 1Fist, Banner, 5IP 5x Sanguinary Guard - 1Fist, Banner, 5IP 1x Ballistus 6x Aggressors - Bolt Guantlets 6x Devastator Centurians Will hopefully keep you all posted with pics and deets!

Exactly what it sounds like. Got an RTT coming up April 6 and wanted to see if I could get any advice. I play tested it against bugs... once (and due to being out of town for work until the RTT, I won't be able to play test again...), and it performed quite well, but I'm open to suggestions. The tournament is mostly WYSIWYG, and my collection does have limits. One of those limits is that my DC are all poorly equipped, and I'm not touching them until the codex drops. I also don't have any chaplains either, so that's a double whammy against DC. I'm considering dropping the Lieutenant for a techmarine, but I'm not sure. I'm also considering changing the assault ints for regular ints, which would bring the list to an even 2000 points. In any case, list is in the spoiler box below!

I am toying with a list for 2000 pts, to get done and have some play in near future. So far i came up with list looking like this. ++ Battalion Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Blood Angels) [115 PL, 7CP, 1,997pts] ++ + + HQ + Captain : 5. Gift of Foresight, Inferno pistol, Jump Pack, Relic blade, Rites of War, Stratagem: Angel Exemplar, Visage of Death Chief Librarian Mephiston (Primaris) : 1. Quickening, 2. Unleash Rage, 3. Shield of Sanguinius Sanguinary Priest : Artificer Armour, Astartes Chainsword, Bolt pistol, Chapter Command: Chief Apothecary, Jump Pack, Hero of Chapter : Selfless healer + Troops + 10xAssault Intercessor Squad1 TH on Sgt 5xInfiltrator Squad + Helix gauntlet 5xIntercessor Squad : Bolt rifle, Chain sword on sgt + Elites + Judiciar : 6. Selfless Valour, Icon of The Angel, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter 5xSanguinary Guard Sword and bolt guns 5xSanguinary Guard Sword and bolt guns 5xTerminator Assault Squad: Homer and TH/SS all 5xVanguard Veteran Squad : 3x LC/SS, 1x Twin LC, Sgt. Bolt pistol + Relic blade + Fast Attack + 3xInceptor Squad : Plasma Exterminator 1xInvader ATV: Multi-melta + Heavy Support + 3xEradicator Squad : Heavy melta rifle I'm not really sure about Mephiston, could change him for Libby dread/ Normal libby or squad of th/ps DC. Everything starts on board. Judi and Hammerboys in middle for Oaths and o **** moments with homer, VV's are for chaff cleaning dutys and middle swap with termies. Sang priest helps all around so jump pack mandatory. One flant is pushed by cpt+one SG squad and Plasmaceptors, other flank is pushed by ATV + Mephy + Ass Incest. Home objective is held by Infiltrators and near them are bolter Intercessors. Eradicators would be just fire magnets i think or reserves and thrown to do melta things. Second SG squad is counter charge force/ relentless assault scorers with VV's and ATV. What do you guys think ?

Relics of the Chapter (-2cp) Hero of the chapter (-1cp) Patrol Detachment (-2cp) Captain 120pts Warlord Combi-Melta, Jump Pack, The Burning Blade, The Imperium's Sword (if I added Angel Exemplar -1cp to get 2nd Warlord Trait, Adamantine Mantle would give me a 5++ Feel No Pain) Librarain 145pts (Hero of the Chapter) (Relic) Jump Pack, Chief Librarain, Plasma Pistol, Force Sword, Icon of the Angel, Psychic Mastery (+1 to Cast) Might of Hero's, Null Zone, Psychic Fortress The Sanguinor 150pts TROOPS 5 Assault Intercessor's 105pts Hvy Bolt Pistols, Chain Swords Sgt - Plasma Pistol, Power Sword 5 Assault Intercessors 105pts Hvy Bolt Pistols, Chain Swords Sgt - Plasma Pistol, Power Sword 5 Intercessor Squad 110pts Auto Bolt Rifle, Grenade Launcher Sgt Chain Sword and Plasma Pistol ELITES 6 Sanguinary Guard 215pts 1 Power Fist, 6 Plasma Pistols and 5 Encarmine Blades 5 Scout Squad 90pts all Sniper rifles and Camo Cloaks HEAVY SUPPORT 2 Baal Predators 320pts both Assault Cannons and Heavy Flamers PATROL DETACHMENT (-2cp) Captain 155pts Jump Pack, Death Company, Combi-melta, Hammer of Baal Lemartes 120pts Bolt Pistol, The Blood Crozius TROOPS 5 Intercessor Squad 115pts Grenade Launcher, Auto Bolt Rifle Sgt Plasma Pistol, Power Sword ELITES 10 Death Company 240pts Bolt Pistols and Chain Swords 7 Command points if i dont add 2nd WT, 6cps if I do. 2000pts even.. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...

Running two patrols here, mainly to avoid a third troop tax and fit in all the stuff I want to try. I know I have to increase the command cost of the patrol with my chapter master, but I'm not sure if that also gets refunded if it has my WL in it. Regardless I'm spending 2 CP on an extra patrol, 1CP on "hero of the chapter", and 1 CP on an extra relic, as well as 1 CP for the blood angels successor tax so I can take a relic of Baal. 5CP, possibly 6 if I don't get refunded for Malakim Phoros. Starting off with 7, not ideal, especially considering I'll likely spend 2 pregame to move the Death company with forlorn fury. I think in friendly games I won't be spending CP to take relics of baal, but in non-friendly games I might get rid of the WL trait for the judiciar(6"heroically intervene is great, but I need CP and it's not as good as the "icon of the angel". Strategy here is to load up the drop pod with 8 devastators, Malakim Phoros, and a Lt with "icon of the angel". They drop down to hopefully join the death company in a first turn charge, but not before unloading melta death into some poor fools. Meanwhile the terminators will combat squad, one in deep strike, the other footing it with the 5man squad of bladeguard. The Sanguinary Priest will be hanging out with them, also the judiciar. And possibly a tac squad, depending on objectives and how much shooting the other guy has(might also leave the terminators in a big clump of "come at me bro"). The other tac squad will be hiding in the back camping objectives. Damn, forgot about the eradicators, might have to pay a CP to put them into reserves Overall might be too rude for home games, what do you think? 1996pts 7CP(6?) **Lamenters Patrol** HQ- Malakim Phoros(chapter master), 145pts HQ- Sanguinary Priest,135pts, chief apothecary, jump pack, warlord, WL trait:selfless healer, relic: armor indomitus Troops-Tac squad x5,115pts,1 HF, Sgt w/pp power fist Elite-Bladeguard veterans x5,180pts, Sgt w/neo volkite pistol Elite-Assault Terminators x10,410pts, Sgt w/2claws, 1 pair of claws, 8 thunder hammer storm shields Fast attack-Assault squad x5, 125pts, jump packs, 2 meltas,Sgt w/power axe Heavy support-Eradicators x3,135pts, melta rifles Heavy support-Devastators x8, 229pts, 4 multi-meltas Dedicated transport-Drop Pod, 70pts **Lamenters Patrol (Death squad)** HQ-Lieutenant,70pts,icon of the angel(reroll charge w/in 6") Troops-Tac squad x5,105pts, 1 HB, Sgt w/chainsword and grav pistol Elites-Death company x8, 192pts, everybody has chainsword + BP Elites-Judiciar, 85pts, hero of the chapter(-1CP), WL trait:selfless valour(heroically intervene w/in 6")

Greeting all, A friend of mine has gotten into wh40k for the first time and is loving the necrons, and ive started getting into space marines. Im after some help with ideas of lists for combat patrol, im going the flesh tearers chapter. I like the Sanguinary Guard and was looking to add them since reading that you can use these as your successor chapter These are just fun games, nothing serious What are others using for combat patrol out there Cheers in advance

Hello brothers, this is an all comers list that Ive been building and almost finished during the pandemic. ++ Patrol Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Blood Angels) ++ 5CP + HQ + -Chapter Master: 4. Heroic Bearing, Angel Artifice, Chapter Command: Chapter Master, Jump Pack, Rites of War, Storm shield, Stratagem: Angel Exemplar, Thunder hammer, Warlord -Sanguinary Priest: Astartes Chainsword, Bolt pistol, Chapter Command: Chief Apothecary, Jump Pack + Troops + 5x Tactical Squad- Combi-melta, Heavy flamer 5x Tactical Squad- Combi-melta, Heavy flamer + Elites + 8x Sanguinary Guard, 5x Inferno pistol, 3x Angelus boltgun, 8xPower fist + Fast Attack + 3x Single unit-Land Speeder Typhoon: 3x Multi-melta + Dedicated Transport + Drop Pod: Storm bolter ++ Patrol Detachment -2CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Blood Angels) ++ + HQ + -Librarian: 2. Unleash Rage, 3) Null Zone (Aura), 3. Shield of Sanguinius, 6. Wings of Sanguinius, Chapter Command: Chief Librarian, Force sword, Inferno pistol, Jump Pack, Psychic Mastery, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter, Tome of Malcador -Primaris Chaplain on Bike: 2. Catechism of Fire, 6. Canticle of Hate, Chapter Command: Master of Sanctity, Litany of Hate, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter, The Vox Espiritum, Wise Orator + Troops + 5x Assault Intercessor Squad, Thunder hammer + Fast Attack + -9x Bike Squad Attack Bike: Multi-melta Biker Sergeant: Quake Bolts, Thunder hammer 5x Space Marine Biker w/Chainsword: 5x Astartes Chainsword, 5x Frag & Krak grenades, 5x Twin boltgun Space Marine Biker w/Special Weapon: Meltagun Space Marine Biker w/Special Weapon: Meltagun the main ideas for this were to have two 18" reroll bubbles and the Chapter Master reroll in play. -The bike squad and Chaplain are going to hang together, benefiting from +1 wound in shooting, Litanies of Hate and the Sgt's quake bolts. - The Chapter Master and SG will be another combined unit, probably with the Libby and SP backing them up. - The Land Speeder Typhoons will be operating on their own. - The two Tac squads will be in the drop pod. - I'm thinking the Assault intercessors might be best to leave in Strategic Reserves

Hey guys. Am working on a list for semi-serious games when lockdown comes to and end. Would love your help rounding out this Battalion I'm working on. The aim is to have a tough to crack hammer that slowly advances, plus hilarious jump pack shenanigans that force the opponent to act. The below is at 1904 and starts with 7cp. How would you round it out? Chapter master. Jump pack, relic blade, storm shield. Warlord - iron resolve. Angel Exemplar- gift of foresight (-1cp). Relic: angel artifice. This guy is hilarious T5, 7W, 1+,4++, 6+++ and a re-roll each turn. And plenty of damage output and mobility and buffs. Primaris chap on bike. Another beatstick. Make him the master of sanctity, give him the re-roll hits in combat litany and the self-buff mantra of strength for +1S,A&D. Then the benediction of fury relic(-1cp) for the lols of a potentially 4D crozius. Sanguinary priest with jump pack, and the selfless healer warlord trait (-1cp) from chief apothecary. Heal twice. Res for free. Put stuff in the assault doctrine early. Enough said. Judiciar- just with the selfless valour trait (-1cp) for 6" heroic intervention to make sure of that sweet sweet fight last. Sanguiary ancient- power fist and wrath of baal banner (-1cp) for +2move for jumpers. 8 sanguinary guard. Only 8 because I still want to have friends. 2 swords, 3 axes, 3 fists because that's how I have them modelled. With heirs of azkelion and the warlord nearby even the power fists hit on 2's... 5 vanguard vets. 2 bullet soakers with chainswords and storm ahields (2+/4++). 2 with twin lightning claws and vet sergeant with a relic blade and storm shield do the damage to any infantry. 3 bladeguard Redemptor dread. Love this guy. Macro plasma, gatling cannon, icarus apod and storm bolters. Hangs out with the bladeguard looking mean. 5 assault intercessors 5 assault intercessors 5 intercessors - bolt rifles, chainsword on the Sergeant 5 plasma inceptors. These guys are mean. With a chapter master, they do work. How would you round to 2k? I'm thinking some eradicators for more shooty, outriders or van vets for more choppy. I know I've got a lot of characters... could definitely ditch one, or replace the bike chaplain with a foot slogging one.

While this is not the first list I have posted here to this forum this will be the first list I will hopefully will bring to the table top. Since my first attempt at a combat patrol I have been ensnared by the fury of the blood angels. My plan is to get used to playing a 500 point list to gain experience in the hobby, then increase my armies size. I'm hoping to get some mileage out of the models I currently have from the dark imperium box, but I understand that I will have to spend some money to create a list. However I still have a few questions, so criticism is welcome. Blood angels combat patrol HQ- Primaris Chaplain on Bike(Warlord)-115 points - Absolver bolt pistol, Crozius arcanum, frag and krak grenades, Twin bolt rifle, warlord trait: ?, relic: icon of the angel, litanies: litany of hate, canticle of hate So here are the questions I have about the loadout of this model. 1.Which warlord trait would make the most sense for this chaplain? So far I'm leaning towards rites of war since I'll be using him to be up front supporting my hard charging units. 2. Are any of the special issue war gear options worth taking? I think quake bolts could be useful to help pin a unit to be charged. I really like how this model looks and the tactical options it gives me. That's why I'm willing to wait for it to come back in stock rather than replace it with something else like a chaplain with a jump pack. Troops- Intercessor squad(4 intercessors, 1 intercessor sergeant)-100 points - bolt rifles, frag and krak grenades Elites- Sanguinary guard( 5 sang guard)- 150 points - angelus boltgun, encarmine sword What do you guys think of this loadout? I'm not sure I need to take an power fists on this unit as most 500 point games will not feature to many high toughness multi-wound models. I also plan to take some more high firepower units or maybe some death company or assault terminators toting thunder hammers. Fast attack- Inceptors( 2 inceptors, 1 inceptor sergeant)-135 points - assault bolters This unit I'm not tied to. Its 135 points that could be replaced with something else. The firepower on plasma inceptors in more enticing anyway. If you were playing this list what would you include? I could include another troop choice or an elite choice for this points cost that would fit better in the blood angels wheelhouse. Looking forward to your opinions.

I've been working on this and tweaking for a while now and would like some advice on if its viable or not. The idea is to give the Chapter master re-rolls to one of the Plasma Inceptor units, let a second benefit from the Decent of Angels strat and then it and the third use the re-roll 1's aura, as well as re-rolling 1's from Wisdom of the ancients, placement and battlefield situation allowing. The Sanguinary Priest is included to provide it's 6+FNP and healing/rez'ing. The librarian with jump pack is intended to strip high value targets of their invulnerables, letting all the plasma do its work. The three Tactical squads are intended to take and hold objectives while the rest of the army engages targets. The sergeants have chainswords in order to benefit from the BA's +1 to wound CT.

I'll go into more detail with an article on the main board soon, but the idea/theme for this list is for two threats buffed to the hilt (and with enough synergy/chaff from the supporting elements to pull it off). This was supposed to be theoretical, but I actually had a game with it this other night on the spur of the moment (report arrive soonTM). Below is my initial gambit and I'm sure there's room for improvement; I certainly have some ideas on where to go with it 2000 "Troop Spam" TAC list Blood Angels Battalion Detachment HQ Captain ~ Master-crafted boltgun, thunder hammer, jump pack ~ Warlord: Artisan of War Captain ~ Master-crafted boltgun, chainsword ~ Veritas Vitae Troops Scouts (5) ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword ~ Combat blade (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword ~ Combat blade (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Shotgun (4) Elites Company Ancient ~ Boltgun Terminator Squad (5) ~ Storm bolter, power sowrd ~ Assault Cannon, power fist ~ Storm bolter, power fist (3) Fast Attack Scout Bikes (3) Scout Bikes (3) Blood Angels Battalion Detachment HQ Librarian ~ Bolt pistol, force stave, jump pack ~ Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius, Smite Sanguinary Priest ~ Bolt pistol, chainsword, jump pack Troops Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Scouts (5) ~ Bolter, chainsword ~ Bolter (4) Heavy Support Rapier Carrier (1) ~ Quad launcher Devastator Squad (5) ~ Armorium Cherub ~ Bolter (3) ~ Grav-cannon & grav-amp ~ Heavy bolter Devastator Squad (5) ~ Armorium Cherub ~ Bolter (3) ~ Grav-cannon & grav-amp ~ Missile Launcher Blood Angels Vanguard Detachment HQ Lieutenant (2) ~ Hand flamer, chainsword, jump pack (Angel's Wing) (1) ~ Master-crafted bolter, chainsword (1) Elites Sanguinary Ancient ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist, death mask ~ Standard of Sacrifice Sanguinary Guard (4) ~ Angelus boltgun, encarmine sword (3) ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist (1) Sanguinary Guard (4) ~ Angelus boltgun, encarmine sword (3) ~ Angelus boltgun, power fist (1) Musings 14 CP, Captain Smash is the warlord... Block one is two squads of Sanguinary Guard backed up with an Ancient (5++= standard), Priest, Librarian (Rage and Shield), jump lieutenant (with the overwatch blocker jump pack), and the smash Captain Block two is the Terminators, with a foot Captain, Standard, Lieutenant Six Scout Squads and two Scout bike Squads for harassment Smash Captain has the option of going DVoS and rolling up a flank, jump lieutenant can use UWoF to assist if necessary Two Devastators Squads with cherubs for stratagem shenanigans (and the quad launcher nearby). Alternatively, the foot Captain, Lieutenant, Standard can babysit here Two standards for standard shenanigans (see thread I realise the ranged weapon choices are a bit off but I'm attempting to be WYSIWYG as best I can. However, there is some proxying going on meaning I'll likely change this out going forward... The rest of the odd choices are to make the points fit. I'm potentially looking into rolling the two Battalions into a Brigade, just need to work out what to move around and to keep my CPs high. Thoughts?

1500 point game coming up at the end of August, thought I'd give this a whirl: 1500 - Dreadnought List Battalion Detachment Captain ~ Master-crafted boltgun, chainsword ~ The Veritas Vitae Lieutenant ~ Hand flamer, chainsword, jump pack Scouts (5) ~ Sniper rifle, chainsword ~ Missile Launcher, camo cloak ~ Boltgun (3) Scouts (5) ~ Boltgun, chainsword ~ Shotgun ~ Bolt pistol, combat knife (3) Scouts (5) ~ Boltgun, chainsword ~ Shotgun ~ Bolt pistol, combat knife (3) Furioso Dreadnought ~ Storm bolter, heavy flamer, furioso fists (pair) ~ Smoke launchers Relic Contemptor Dreadnought ~ Twin lascannon, graviton blaster, Dreadnought combat weapon Spearhead Detachment Librarian Dreadnought ~ Storm bolter ~ Smite, Quickening, Wings of Sanguinius ~ Warlord (Artisan of War) Mortis dreadnought ~ Twin autocannons Relic Leviathan Dreadnought ~ Grav-flux bombard, meltagun, siege claw Devastators (5) ~ Missile launcher ~ Heavy bolter ~ Boltgun (3) ~ Armorium Cherub Thoughts and options 9 CPs with the Vertias Vitae as cover Mortis over regular because of points difference Lieutenant gear because that's the model I've got First Scout Squad looks weird but the theory is once the chaff has gone the missile launcher gets a bonus to his save. Will be camping an objective or somewhere useful, similar to the Devastators Devastators have the option of mortal wound shenanigans on either <FLY> or anything with multiple wounds. Scout ML is backup Other two Scout Squads are the first wave and push hard at the start. Second wave is the Librarian Dreadnought and Furioso Mortis, Contemptor, Leviathan are babysat by the Captain & Lieutenant at first, before the Lieutenant being able to UWoF to where needed later on. I expect this group to push forward either centrally or on a flank, Will need to be dealt with Librarian Dreadnought is the Warlord just for Artisan of War. Is there a better choice? What am I missing and/or have I covered every base? C&C appreciated

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year! I've just purchased some of my friends old Death Company models from him and very excited to start painting to build up a small army for some friendly games against a buddy who has just started his Black Legion. I'm hoping to create a list that I can use for more competitive games in the very near future, up to 1000/1500pts at most. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! ++ Vanguard Detachment -3CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Blood Angels) [43 PL, -3CP, 748pts] ++ + Configuration + **Chapter Selector**:[/b] Blood Angels Detachment Command Cost [-3CP] Game Type:[/b] Open + HQ + Lemartes [6 PL, 120pts]:[/b] 3. Exhortation of Rage, 4. Mantra of Strength, Litany of Hate Sanguinary Priest [6 PL, 120pts]:[/b] 6. Selfless Valour, Astartes Chainsword, Bolt pistol, Jump Pack, The Armour Indomitus, Warlord + Elites + Death Company Marines [8 PL, 180pts]:[/b] Jump Pack . 5x Death Company Marine w/ thunder hammer: 5x Frag & Krak grenades, 5x Thunder hammer Death Company Marines [15 PL, 168pts]:[/b] Jump Pack . 8x Death Company Marine w/ chainsword and bolt pistol: 8x Astartes Chainsword, 8x Bolt pistol, 8x Frag & Krak grenades Venerable Dreadnought [8 PL, 160pts]: Twin lascannon . Dreadnought combat weapon w/ heavy flamer: Heavy flamer ++ Total: [43 PL, -3CP, 748pts] ++ It feels very light on bodies, but I was hoping to get the DC units across the board and into combat as soon as possible, possibly running the priest with the hammers squad and lemartes with the other? The Dread is there as I really like the model and I feel like the twin Las might help pick off things like his hellbrute or the odd termie if the hammers can’t get the charge on them.

Greetings, all. INTRO: So, I'm planning on attending a tournament in two weeks. I've been toying and playtesting some variations for a while. I've settled on something I really, really like - and something that mitigates some of the weaknesses i was experiencing with previous builds. A lot of my previous builds were based around DFA. It is SUCH an easy secondary to score- especially with Devs, inceptors or attack bikes - never mind charging units. The issue I was running into time and time again was that i needed too much off the board to make it really worthwhile, making my board presence very weak - especially if i went second. Fury of the Lost was next on the list. That led me to this: LIST: DC Bike Captain - Hammer, Visage, Rites Astorath - Mantra/Rage (SoulWarden) 2x5 Infiltrators 1x5 Assault Inters - Hammer (debating MC Hammer) 2x5 DC - 4Hammers, JP 1x5 DC - JP 1x5 DC Inters - Hammer 1x7 SG - 4Axe, 3Sword 2x3 Eliminators - 2Fusil, 1Carbine 2x5 Assault Marines - 2Melta, 1Claw, 1Infernus 2x Impulsors - Ironhail upgrades LIST OVERVIEW: With demons in the meta, Infiltrators are now worth their weight in gold. They're pricier, and less useful for DFA than the Incursors on account of no combat ability, but their blocking really changes things up. The Impulsors may look like an odd choice, but really help with a variety of tactical options. First and foremost, they provide some decent dakka - each putting out 20x S4 shots (12 of which are -1ap) That annoying plink damage adds up fairly. Secondly, they're able to tank MWs well. Drop Armour of Contempt strat and you need around 16 MWs to take it out - protecting sqquishy troops inside Thirdly, the ability to drop ObSec troops on a far away objective makes the combo with shock amazing. Finally, you can also use the universal strat Emergency Disembark after positioning the vehicle in a way that seems unassuming to jump onto distant, or unprotected objectives. All in all, some solid utility. The Eliminators provide some annoying plink damage too, but also give you a 14-19" move onto forward objectives or locations if need be. The assault guys offer some decent close range melta support, along with some melta bombs for the vehicles and can help with actions and objective grabs. Then of course there's the Lost; 5 units of them, allowing for some good drip feed secondary points. If planned well, you can get 5 points just from them dying. I'm gonna get some reps in with this list and see what we can do with it!

Taking this up against either Aeldari or Imperial knights this Saturday. The only painted and based models I have that aren't in the list are a gravis captain and jump captain with TH and Plasma Pistol (holdover from 8th). How screwed am I, and/or does anyone have any tips from either a list building standpoint (not that there's much wiggle room), or strategy in the tabletop. Not using Nephilim CP/Relic/WL trait rules.

Got a local RTT coming up in January and this is the list I'm thinking of running. I know the dreadnoughts aren't in Vogue, but I am slightly limited by my collection, they also performed decently in my last few games, and my hobby time is booked solid already preparing for it. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I think this is a decently solid list (aside from possibly the Dreadnaught and furioso), and I'm just wondering if any of you good people agrees. If not, I am open to suggestions! I'm not looking to win the thing, but I am looking to perform better than last tournament. That said, it shouldn't be too hard as I ended up 22nd out of 24th! For what it's worth, here's my total painted asset list (or what will be painted by the time the RTT arrives).

Here I am again designing silly friendly lists... Until the Astartes codex arrives in Autumn I don't have a very clear idea of what works and what doesn't, so I'm asking you battle-brothers for inspiration. I don't play competitive hence I have the luxury of playing pure Primaris lists too (because I like the Primaris' models' proportions...) Based on models I already own I made three variations of an armoured assault list. I 'd love to hear your thoughts! 2000 points - One Raider is a target, two is a trouble... but for me too 80 Primaris Captain, MC power sword & shield 200 Bladeguard Vets (6) 50 Bladeguard Ancient 275 Land Raider, Lascannons 65 Primaris Chaplain 180 Death Company Intercessors (10), 1 power fist, 9 chainswords 255 Land Raider Crusader 65 Primaris Techmarine 205 Terminator squad (5) 225 Redemptor Dreadnought, Macro-plasma incinerator 220 Brutalis Dreadnought, weapons??? 90 Infiltrators (5) 90 Incursors (5) Simple plan, saturate the battlefield with heavy armour to avoid focus fire. Two Raiders and two Dreadnoughts advance forward, the Infiltrators hold home objective, the Incursors improve the hit rolls of other units, the Terminators probably stay in reserve and the Techmarine is there because nothing else fitted with the remaining points. The assault ramps of the Raiders are a huge bonus, the Bladeguard group slaughters anything with Red Rampage, etc. The problem is the small number of units at the beginning of the battle and the difficult charge from deep striking Terminators. 2000 points - Terminator chances improved 80 Primaris Captain, MC power sword & shield, Artisan of War 200 Bladeguard Vets (6) 50 Bladeguard Ancient 275 Land Raider, Lascannons 65 Primaris Chaplain, Icon of the Angel 180 Death Company Intercessors (10), 1 power fist, 9 chainswords 195 Repulsor 95 Terminator Captain, weapons??? 205 Terminator squad (5) 225 Redemptor Dreadnought, Macro-plasma incinerator 220 Brutalis Dreadnought, weapons??? 90 Infiltrators (5) 90 Incursors (5) So, now without an assault ramp the DC will have to work more to find the right moment to charge, there is no Techmarine to babysit the vehicles, but the Terminators became a lot more deadly as a Captain is leading them. The few remaining points went to two enhancements. 1995 points - More terrifying walkers! 80 Primaris Captain, MC power sword & shield 200 Bladeguard Vets (6) 50 Bladeguard Ancient 275 Land Raider, Lascannons 65 Primaris Chaplain 180 Death Company Intercessors (10), 1 power fist, 9 chainswords 95 Terminator Captain, weapons??? 205 Terminator squad (5) 225 Redemptor Dreadnought, Macro-plasma incinerator 220 Brutalis Dreadnought, weapons??? 220 Brutalis Dreadnought, weapons??? 90 Infiltrators (5) 90 Incursors (5) A Repulsor's armour is not like the Raider's, the DC have to run instead. But (by removing the enhancements too) now I can field an additional Brutalis Dreadnought, nod bad, right?

Yo dawg, I heard you liked inferno pistols with your jump packs… Lemartes 10 Death Company Marines with Jump Packs Chaplain with Jump Pack x 3 10 Vanguard Veterans with Jump Packs x 3 Captain with Jump Pack x 3 10 Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs x 3 1990 points Death company marines all have power fists and inferno pistols. Vanguard veterans all have inferno pistols. Chaplains go with the veterans to give them lethal hits and +1 to wound on the charge. Captains go with the intercessors so that 2 squads per turn can use Red Rampage for lethal hits and +1 to wound on the charge. This is the ultimate glass cannon army. But it has the movement to choose when and where to fire off each cannon. If you don’t embrace YOLO without reservation, you might want to give this one a pass.

Greetings Brothers, I have a Necron Incursion to defeat. Scout reports indicate the Necrons are fielding a large 10-20 troop blob on foot with several re-animation enhancing leaders. There is at least one vehicle destroying unit and scary melee unit. Scarab units in abundance. The Necrons seem to have mainly short to medium ranged firepower. I am looking at running. Phobos Captain Incursor x5 Incursor x5 Assault intercessors with jump packs x5 Eliminator squad las fusil x2 Hellblaster squad x5 Inceptors, assault bolters x3 Invictor Tactical Warsuit, incendium cannon x1 Redemptor Dread x1 I have considered dropping/adding an Incursor squad/Invictor adding Eradicators, a Whirlwind, JP Death Company or even throwing a Vindicator in. Ive a pretty good collection of BA and can run pretty much any models. Probably running Gladius but open to suggestions here. Battle report to follow hopefully
