Guilliman goes with his Suzies and the Centurion goes with a squad of breachers

I chose not to run a RoW, the Logos Lectora is incredibly restrictive and I wanna keep the ability to deep strike so my Loctarus can use the opening salvo rule with their Plasma Pistols

I plan to keep the army in close proximity to each other, that way my Breachers and Heavy Support can benefit from Guilliman's Cognis Signum and the Standard that the Suzies have. The Suzarians themselves act as a meatshield for Guilliman and also to counter charge anything nasty the comes our way.

I'm aware that if the Centurion dies then the enemy gets a victory point, hopefully the Artificer Armour, Refractor Feild and FnP will help protect him from being sniped. I'm also keeping his Plasma Pistol, I'm using the chaplain model from BaC because he is GORGEOUS

My gaming circle heavily discourages the use of flyers, so I haven't taken that into account for this list.

Cheers!

Excuse me if i am mistaken, but i have always believed that when you take powerswords for your breachers, all in the unit must do so. Someone please tell me if Im wrong.

'Legion Breacher squads with the Legiones Astartes (Ultramarines) special rule may also exchange their bolters with power swords for +5 points each.'

 

 

Does neither say that the entire unit needs to do the swap, nor does it specify how many breacher legionnaires can or have to exchange their boltguns.

 

I often see ten-strong units with an axe on the sergeant, two special weapons and seven power swords for example.

Makes sense i suppose.

I was quite uncertain exactly because the rule is not spesific, like saying "any model in ultramarines breacher squad can exchange..." but instead reffers to the squad as a whole and the bolters in plural form.

But if this is indeed the case, that it is any number of models in the squad, it makes the rule alot more useful, might even build a squad for my smurfs
