The Pounder Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 OK this is the first draft of the next expansion to my Ultramarines Force. I've built it using the Vigil Opertii Mission Rite of War. Militia Allies: Provenances: Gene Crafted and Warrior Elite 150pts Force Commander, Charnabal Sabre, Blast Pistol, Cyber Familiar, Iron Halo, Planetary Over Lord, 105pts. 20 Grenadiers, Power Weapon, Vexilla, Grenade Launchers 145pts 20 Grenadiers, Power Weapon, Vexilla, Meltaguns 155pts. Sentinel Squad (6 Sentinels) Lascannons. 240pts. Leman Russ 140pts. Legiones Astartes XIIIth: Centurion, Vigilator 85pts Praetor, Legatine Axe, Mantle of Ultramar, Iron Halo 165pts Suzerain Squad, 4 additional Suzerain, 2 Thunder Hammers 330pts Landraider Phobos 225pts 2 Tactical squads, Power Fist, Artificer Armour, Rhinos 350pts 2 Sicarans, Lascannon Sponsons 410pts Total: 2500pts. I think this could be a pretty effective army, the Grenadiers will be a distraction while the Marines close in and take objectives of opportunity. The sentinels and Sicarans will give the anti tank capabilities for the rest of the force. It'll take me a while to build up the models so the list could change. Any comments and advice will be very welcome.

Runefyre Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The lack of a LoW is my biggest concern, but otherwise that looks like a pretty sick list! Also that's alot of points sunk into those sentinels, which look awesome but tend to die very quickly whenever I play against my mate's guard. Would you be cool if I posted my theoretical list here later as well, and we can chat about it? I've had afew different ideas, mostly at 3000 points.

Reyner Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I like it, I had a similar idea but had artillery instead of the Sentinels but Sentinels win on the rule of cool.

In the group I play with no-one uses LoW (except for Primarchs) in games lower than 3k. I Know the sentinels are probably not the most competitive option but they look fantastic! You're welcome to post your list/ideas here, would be interesting to see your take on it. I like it, I had a similar idea but had artillery instead of the Sentinels but Sentinels win on the rule of cool. Thanks Reyner. They do look awesome! I had an artillery heavy Death Korps of Krieg army so I wanted something a bit different.

Reyner Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 You could try swap half the Sentinels for a Militia Fire Support Squad? All the infantry get Infiltrate don't they? So you could try sneak up some heavy weapons or something.

The Pounder Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 I like it! You've covered all the bases and still kept a lot of flavour. What role do you intend for the dreadclaw?

The dreadclaw will transport Ventanus and his Suzie bodyguard.
