Plenty of healing from Techmarine and Apothecary. Dreads should also hit like a ton of bricks with Techmarine WL trait. Terminators should be super survivable with 5+++ and Chief Apothecary bringing one back to full wounds and reviving another each turn.

Basically a Black Tide of S5 obsec marines, backed up by three Redemptors for AT duties. 

 

Regular Intercessors hold backfield.

 

Chaplain & Terminators deep-strike and make reliable charge with Canticle of Hate via Commanding Oratory strat (7" re-rollable). Plan is not to use Fury of the First so that the target hopefully lives (just), can then use Tenacious Assault to lock in combat. Chaplain is also a beatstick in his own right with Mantra of Strength on top of his relic (S7, four attacks base, D4!).

[Tokugawa]

Never a fan of teleported chaplain. He arrived turn2, but you would thirst for his buff since very beginning of turn1.

[Brother Kraskor]

Do you think it would be better to run a Bike Chaplain? Trouble is then he would need to be out in the open ready for the Terminators to arrive in order to buff them. This way he's safe?

[Brother Kraskor]

Been thinking a lot and come up with something a bit more finesse, but hopefully tricky. Reasoning explained below:

 

 

Primaris Captain (105) - Sword & Board, Warlord (Epitome of Piety), Aurillian Shroud

 

Terminator Chaplain (100) - Combi-Melta, Canticle of Hate

 

Primaris Chaplain on Bike (140) - Master of Sanctity, Hero of the Chapter (Fear Made Manifest), Ancient Breviary, Litany of Divine Protection & Vow of Retribution

 

 

5 Intercessors (110) - Bolt Rifles, Power Fist

 

5 Intercessors (110) - Bolt Rifles, Power Fist

 

10 Heavy Intercessors (300) - Executor Bolt Rifles, 2 Heavy Executor Bolters

 

5 Assault Intercessors (115) - Thunder Hammer

 

5 Assault Intercessors (115) - Thunder Hammer

 

5 Assault Intercessors (115) - Thunder Hammer

 

 

Redemptor Dreadnought (185) - Macro Plasma, Onslaught Gatling, Storm Bolters, Rocket Pod

 

Redemptor Dreadnought (185) - Macro Plasma, Onslaught Gatling, Storm Bolters, Rocket Pod

 

5 Reivers (100) - Bolt Carbines, Grav Chutes

 

5 Reivers (100) - Bolt Carbines, Grav Chutes

 

5 Assault Terminators (215) - Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields

 

1995pts, 10CP remaining

 

 

Regular Intercessors hold backfield.

 

Heavy Intercessors will move and seize the centre. They should be tough to shift with a turn 1 4++, and 5+++ from the Chaplain, and Transhuman. And a lot of quite nasty dakka. Captain will support for re-rolls and counter-charge, and they will be backed up by the two Redemptors.

 

Assault Intercessors positioned as counter-attack units should the opponent come for the Gravis, otherwise they will be bully units.

 

The Fear Trap will come down turn 2. Terminator Chaplain drops Canticle of Hate, and Reivers and Assault Terminators (who will do their own thing) deep strike. Bike Chaplain turbo-boosts into position having popped Vow of Retribution. Provided the Reivers reach & survive combat (and they should reach with the 7" re-rollable charge), morale tests will be at a whopping -5, and attrition on 2s. The Reivers can then also turn off Obsec as required. The Bike Chaplain can subsequently. get close to either Reiver squad and keep the Fear Trap going.

Let us know how the fear trap goes. I've been curious about how good it is for a while now.

Well with Nurgle's rot it might take a while to report back!
