psyduck Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Hey all, inspired by Godfrey's list on here, I have a dream. That dream involves 3 multimelta contemptors and a leviathan running up the board and punching stuff, bolstered by the standard of Macragge Fight Club and the Warden of the Ancients for +2A each dread. The redemptors move up and delete pesky guard platoons. The vet squad shields the characters. Captain is primarily so the vets don't eat an elite slot, then sits home and prevents deepstrike close. Also, the dreads are obsec. ++ Battalion Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Ultramarines) [107 PL, 8CP, 1,999pts] ++ **Chapter Selection**: Ultramarines + Stratagems + Relics of the Chapter [-1CP]: Number of Extra Relics Martial Legacy [-1CP]: Relic Leviathan + No Force Org Slot + Company Veterans [144 pts] . Space Marine Veteran: Lightning Claw, Storm shield . Space Marine Veteran: Lightning Claw, Storm shield . Space Marine Veteran: Lightning Claw, Storm shield . Space Marine Veteran: Lightning Claw, Storm shield . Veteran Sergeant: Storm shield, Thunder hammer + HQ + Captain in Phobos Armour [-1CP, 95pts]: Adept of the Codex, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter Chief Librarian Tigurius [135pts] Primaris Techmarine [-1CP, 100pts]: Chapter Command: Master of the Forge, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter, The Vox Espiritum, Warden of the Ancients + Troops + Infiltrator Squad [130pts] . Infiltrator Helix Adept Infiltrator Squad [130pts] . Infiltrator Helix Adept Intercessor Squad [115pts] : Astartes Grenade Launcher, Bolt Rifle . Intercessor Sergeant: Power fist + Elites + Contemptor Dreadnought [150pts]: Multi-melta Contemptor Dreadnought [150pts]: Multi-melta Contemptor Dreadnought [150pts]: Multi-melta Primaris Ancient [100pts]: Chapter Command: Chapter Ancient, Standard of Macragge Inviolate, Steadfast Example, Warlord Redemptor Dreadnought [185pts]: 2x Heavy Bolter, Hvy Onslaught Gatling Cannon, Icarus Rocket Pod, Onslaught Gatling Cannon Redemptor Dreadnought [185pts]: 2x Heavy Bolter, Hvy Onslaught Gatling Cannon, Icarus Rocket Pod, Onslaught Gatling Cannon + Heavy Support + Relic Leviathan Dreadnought [230pts]: 2x Volkite Calivers . Storm Cannon Array . Leviathan siege claw: Meltagun ++ Total: [107 PL, 8CP, 1,999pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe My thoughts: In theory seems like a lot of fun, I'm not sure what happens when stuff starts exploding or if I run into a buttload of AT. Also, considering dropping tigurius as most stuff has a 5+ or better invul anyway and adding second techmarine handyman (I think I can take 2x master of the forge?]. With the extra points possibly adding another meatshield to the veteran squad.

Godfrey Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 2 techmarines marching with some victrix guard could really annoy your opponent. You could consider deepstriking or outflanking some things to tie up long range AT. Id keep Tigurius for the denials, and -1 to be hit. Throw it on some victrix. Also, null zone might become relevant. Your dreads might lose their 5++, but your enemies might lose a 3++.

psyduck Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I'm out of elite slots for the victrix, thus the veteran squad instead for the anti sniping. Yeah, might of heroes and null zone is really the main reason for Tigurius. Outflanking? One of those redemptors is going on a field trip!

Godfrey Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Swap a contemptor to another leviathan, run 2, 2, and 2. Ultimate in dreadnought redundancy. Either way, looks fun. Make sure your batrep has pictures!

psyduck Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Oh, it's just theoretical for now. I don't own two contemptors, much less two leviathans.That's probably the actual main thing against this list.

crazyterran Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Leviathans are Elites now in the new Imperial Armour. Since you are full up on elites now it might need some tinkering!

psyduck Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Ah, didn't notice that. I guess I'll run them as a Vanguard Detachment and take the CP hit. 5CP isn't optimal, but doable.

Guard for the characters, and Guilliman for rerolls. The incursors and invictor should buy you some time to walk up the board.
