Red Scorpions Raven Guard successors 2k

[Shas Oh Dear]

This is a list I used in 8th reworked four 9th. I've not tested it out this edition but I think it should work. Some of this doesn't hit so hard in 9th and some of it hits much harder than it used to.

The general strategy is to try and instantly overwhelm an opponent with turn 1 charges from several very killy threats. Culln gets shadowstepped by the librarian, sabius MoA's the terminators and sticks with them to give them +1 attack and rerolls. The vanguard vets infiltrate and try to surgically remove specific threats. The cents move into the centre and exist with the apothecary, they aren't the killing machines they once were, but they are probably one of the best uses of the apothecary and still throw out some decent firepower.

 

Culln can offset his mediocre speed by continuing to shadowstep where he needs to be with the librarian who himself is able to move wherever he needs to with the phobos strat. The termies can also redeploy once with the teleport homer and sabius is also a valid shadowstep target.

 

The tac marines don't do much other than achieve objectives, similarly the eliminators are a cheap and forward deploying unit that can threaten characters.

 

Overall I like it and think it can do work, thoughts are appreciated and I'll report back when I've got some games under my belt.
