Booth Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I've been writing a bunch of different lists for a tournament I have coming up and I've always liked the idea of smaller, elite armies. This is one I like the look of, more of a focus on armour value units than bodies. The general plan is for Guilliman to go forward in his Land Raider and charge into the enemy and hopefully flip whatever he gets into. This would be under the supporting fire of the Mortis-Dreadnoughts and Predators, the latter being how I'd crack the annoying Terminators that might give Guilliman pause. I've tried Tank Hunter on the Mortis-Dreads and its worked wonders for me. Guilliman Centurion - Artificer Armour, melta bombs, Legatine Axe, Jump Pack Legion Veterans x10 - vexilla, melta bombs, two missile launchers, power fist, rhino Legion Veterans x10 - vexilla, melta bombs, two missile launchers, power fist, rhino Locotarus Storm Squad x10 - power fist, melta bombs and plasma pistol on sergeant, two plasma pistols in squad Contemptor-Mortis - Khares Assault Cannons Contemptor-Mortis - Khares Assault Cannons Predator - Plasma Executioner, Lascannon Sponsons, Machine Spirit Predator - Plasma Executioner, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Machine Spirit Land Raider Phobos - Armoured Ceramite, multi melta 2500 on the nose. Let me know what you guys think and how it could/couldn't work. Thanks!

hydra89 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 You mentioned a land raider is that in your list and if yes who's in it with Gulliman?

Booth Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sorry about that, list has been edited. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318001-2500-elite-ultramarines-list/#findComment-4273724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydra89 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The list has a good amount of fire power mate. However I think guilliman on his own is a mistake. id say either drop 2 vets and a rhino and have an assult orientated vet squad with him or drop the special assult marines you have and replace them with a terminator command squad with an apothecary to go with him. Like I said a good list and a lot of fire power Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318001-2500-elite-ultramarines-list/#findComment-4273799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Okay, so I was thinking about dropping the Centurion, the melta bombs on the Locotarus sergeant, and the machine spirits on the predators so I can add a four man command squad with two power axes and two power swords to go in the Land Raider with Guilliman. I couldn't find anything saying the Command Squad can't be the mandatory HQ slot, just that they don't take up an additional one if you have a Praetor. Better?

hydra89 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Fair enough mate that's a better way of doing it. I hadn't thought about running a command squad as a hq before Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318001-2500-elite-ultramarines-list/#findComment-4275055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Could you find a way to shimmy in a 5 man squad of Suzerians in instead of the command squad? They're essentially a Command Squad+ since they can still take the Banner and all have Ap2 at-initiative weapons as standard and also have Breaching Shields turning them into TEQ in CC with defensive grenades.

Booth Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd love to have a unit of Suzerains for go with the primarch, I just wouldn't have them in time. Eventually there will definitely be a squad included though. I also didn't explain that I was given the Predators already built with the two differing sponsons, in case you were wondering why they were different.
