2500 Points Sons of Horus Drop Pod list

Recommended Posts

Hey there! Looking to start a new Traitor Legion to go with my Ultras. Decided upon Sons of Horus and wanted to build an "edge of the spear" style Drop Pod Assault list lead by the Warmaster himself. Here is what I came up with and here are the main concerns.

 

-What to arm the Tartaros? Dreadclaw + LCs or should I just go teleport plus combi-weapons to keep it cheaper?

-Too much Justaerin or just enough?

I'd switch the justarians heavy flamers to a weapon that compliments the combi weapons - plasma or melta (with Horus' rules 'gets hot' is less of an issue with plasma/ plasma blasters but meltas have the advantage of 'instant death' against similar Death Star sqds and can deal with heavy armour).

 

I think just 5 seekers (without upgrades) add little value - perhaps a tactical support sqd (cheap with ccw & volkite chargers or find points and give them melta/ plasma guns) would be better?

 

I'd try to get a chain fist on the Cortus for extra bunch against heavy armour

 

I'd keep it with the lightning claws on the terminators - keep them safe in the dreadclaw then butcher 3+ enemy units on the charge!

Very good points! Thanks for the advice.
