So I have a naming convention for my lists: Guilliman lists start with Indomitus, Calgar starts with Victrix. The theme/theory behind this list is that Guilliman (And Calgar) don't have a company of their own. So they get a squad of this and that from each of the companies in the Chapter as the Captains of each company detach a squad detailed to protecting/working with the Primarch/Chapter Master. One of the downsides of the lost wargear/upgrades is it's much harder to fill out the last 30 points or less of a list so this one is somewhat stuck at 1970 instead of 2000 - originally it had a second Infiltrator Squad instead of the Eliminators for exactly 2K -but I like the Eliminators better to support the other two (small i) infiltrating squads. All the infiltrators go deep field in mutual support(Infiltrators shoot, Incursors Stab, Eliminators Las. Guilliman runs around with the Characters, Assault (or 1 squad of Heavy) Intercessors and the Eradicators with the now Master Crafted Heavy Melta Rifle on the Sergeant, while the other Intercessors and the Tactical Squad camp my backfield. With the BGV and Aggressor squad the Intercessors tagging along aren't there so much to fight as to sticky cap whatever the Death Star clears out. The BGV and Honour Guard are there to annoy people who want to shoot Guilliman, the Apothecary is there to annoy the people who try and shoot the BGV and Victrix. I'm tempted to drop the Victrix for something else, but I also recognize sniper units are one of the easiest - but probably rare - ways to annoy me - being able to shoot the center out of that Deathstar and all. After talking to Captain Idaho on another thread it occured to me to give the Eradicator Sergeant a Master Crafted Heavy Melta Rifle. Double shooting a D6+3/D6+5 damage weapon from the Sergeant is arguably even better than a hidden power fist. I could also go with a BGV Ancient but I like the Power Sword Primaris Ancient better. Feel free to debate any of those, or point out some other ideas.
