Grimsteel Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Just getting into 40k for the first time and this is my first attempt at writing a 2k list. **Chapter Selection**: Ultramarines [99PL, 8CP, 2000pts] + Stratagems + Relics of the Chapter [-2CP]: 2x Number of Extra Relics + HQ + Captain with Master-crafted Heavy bolt rifle [8PL, 145pts]: Warlord, Chapter Master, Iron Resolve, Angel Artifice - Master-crafted heavy bolt rifle, Master-crafted power sword Primaris Captain [5PL, -1CP, 105pts]: Hero of the Chapter: Adept of the Codex, The Burning Blade - Heavy bolt pistol, Master-crafted power sword, Relic shield Primaris Lieutenant [4PL, 75pt]: Seal of Oath - Master-crafted auto bolt rifle + Troops + Heavy Intercessor Squad [14PL, 300pts]: 9x + Sgt - 8x Excecutor bolt rifle, 2x Executor heavy bolter Intercessor Squad [10PL, 220pts]: 9x + Sgt - 10x Bolt rifle, 2x Astartes grenade launcher, 1x Power fist Intercessor Squad [10PL, 220pts]: 9x + Sgt - 10x Stalker bolt rifle, 2x Astartes grenade launcher, 1x Power fist + Elites + Aggressor Squad [PL12, 200pts]: 4x + Sgt - 5x Flamestorm gauntles Bladeguard Veteran Squad [PL10, 175pts]: 4x + Sgt - 5x Heavy bolt pistol, 5x Master-crafted power sword, 5x Storm shield Primaris Apothecary [PL5, -1CP, 105pts]: Chief Apothecary, Hero of the Chapter: Selfless Healer - Absolver bolt pistol, Reductor pistol Redemptor Dreadnought [9PL, 175pts] - 2x Fragstorm grenade launcher, Heavy flamer, Heavy onslaught gatling cannon, Redemptor fist + Heavy Support + Eradicator Squad [12PL, 280pts]: 5x + Sgt - 4x Heavy melta rifle, 2x Multi-melta So the idea is to create multiple threats:Chapter Master + Heavy Intercessors + Redemptor DreadnoughtIndomitus Captain + Bladeguard VeteransLieutenant + EradicatorsChief Apothecary + Aggressorsand keep the two Intercessor squads flexible.Does this make any sense? Any thoughts and comments appreciated! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367413-first-ultramarine-2k-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 You can only have one captain per detachment I'm afraid, so that might need a rethink. I'd also rather have the aggressors with bolt gauntlets etc, but that's personal taste. Looks like a solid core to work from Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367413-first-ultramarine-2k-list/#findComment-5626633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I’d swap out the second Captain for a Librarian . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367413-first-ultramarine-2k-list/#findComment-5626661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a solid core to work from If I'm not mistaken making the first Captain a Chapter Master allows for another Captain in the detachment. Isn't that correct? I’d swap out the second Captain for a Librarian . The idea I had with the second Captain was for him to support the Bladeguard Veterans with the reroll aura and as an added melee threat with The Burning Blade. Do you see a Librarian being able to fill a similar role or would you use him completely differently perhaps?

Swordsman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) You can have a captain alongside a chapter master. I like the list even if I think you’re lacking mobility and pre game movement/screening In my taste I would swap the aggressor for 5 more bladeguard and the captain for a chaplain MoS.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I’d drop the Gravis Captain and make the Indomnitus Captain your CM. If you give him a second WLT trait - Imperium Sword - he’ll be S8 when charging. The Librarian is so helpful versus psychic armies - one successful deny can be a game changer.

psyduck Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 For the ranged threat, you don't really need the captain there for rerolls - the redemptor can do that job just about as well with Wisdom of the Ancients. You're not struggling for CP as ultramarines, so it's not too pricey. I agree with Black Blow Fly that you should drop the gravis captain, keep the indomitus captain and use him for counter charging. I would advise either a chaplain or librarian with the bladeguard, depending on your preferred playstyle. The chaplain supports a little more aggressive play with canticle of hate/exhortation of rage, whereas the librarian gives you veil of time/psychic fortress. You could probably get away with cutting the size of the intercessor squads and bringing a second redemptor. A redemptor running solo will be the target of all the anti-tank fire, whereas two can probably survive better for a bit.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Also I’m liking the Bladeguard Ancient for the sweet sweet hit on 2+ . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367413-first-ultramarine-2k-list/#findComment-5627078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
