so these dudes are basically ultramarines with drop pod favoritism says the lore; cool i think they look like storm troopers so my chapter does not abide by the red helmet sgt painting thing because my sgts want to blend in more with the troops guy i want a brigade so my 6 troops choices are going to be 6 five man tactical squads deployed in 3 drop pods aiming to secure control over the other three quadrants on the board since objective markers are uber important in 9th edition with primary and secondary objectives if deployment is not quarters but halves this army will have loads of flexibility in the deployment phase when i deploy in quadrant A, i intend on getting 3 drop pods, 3 tactical squads box sets and 1 devastator set for parts to engineer my 6 tactical squads to fulfill roles on the battlefield in quadrants B (assaulty) C (mix shooty) D (far shooty) C B A D B Tac I (5) - sgt wtih power fist & combi-melta, meltagun Tac II (5) - sgt wtih power fist & combi-melta, meltagun drop pod C Tac III (5) - sgt wtih power fist & combi-melta, multi-melta Tac IV (5) - sgt wtih power sword & combi-plasma & meltabombs, multi-melta drop pod D Tac V (5) - sgt wtih power sword & combi-plasma & meltabombs, lascannon Tac VI (5) - sgt wtih power sword & combi-plasma & meltabombs, lascannon drop pod with the new points values all that costs 855pts that leaves 1145pts for the rest of the force in deployment zone A and deep strike units to support the drop pods the only other model i own in a primaris lieutenant with power sword i am going to think more about the non troops selection, however, i posted this to see what the community has to say ive got 6 troops and 1 HQ so far and 1145pts left for 2 HQ, 3 Elites, 3 FA, 3HS any thoughts i think i need zone A to have a portion that says put and a strong portion that moves forward to secure the centre of the board plus do i add deep striking units? cheers

hello all nothing fancy just a stock primaris lieutenant and a tactical squad broken into two 5 man units combi-plasma + chainsword, plasma combi-melta + PF, melta read that white consuls drop pod a lot from this website so i was like these would do well in one of those right as for the HQ he seems like a 5 man tac squad since he has 5 wounds blindly bought him with no codex or even 8th ed rules; literally got into all this after 15 years 3 days ago bought all the tools and stuff, all the lines are cleaned up and barrels drilled out pretty well assembled to where i can paint - going to be sprayed corax white then all the deep set regions will go ulthuan grey followed by nuln oil and cleaned up with corax white - guns are going abaddon black with stormhost silver - calgar blue freehand eagle heads will go on all left shoulder pads i was going to use wazdakka red for the eagles and chest things however i just noticed that would be too much like the white scars lore says green shoulder pads.... gold chest eagles.... maybe ill just go stock white consuls.... so i need to go back and get some other colors as well as basing sand and glue going with parts of sprue carved up to look like beams or rubble on the bases with sand over top all based black and shaded up grey i hope to keep the progress coming giving myself two weeks for these 11 cheers
