500 pt Fist Patrol list - too close range?

[DantesRevenge]

Hi all,

 

Thoughts on below 500 PT list welcome. I have options to swap out attack bikes, normal intercessors or infiltrators. As well as HQ as a chaplain. I'm worried it might be too close range but tried to maximize the bolter dakka.

I think for 500 points you will be alright. Maybe exchange the captain for a chaplain. Full reroll to hit in combat on those powergauntleys is quite an inprovement. Also, IF bolter fire is already more accurate with exploding sixes, so IMO reroll ones on hit is not as big as potentiaal full rerolls.

Also, take eye of hypnoth on the chaplain, and sentinal of terra with hand of dorn.

Also, with the 20 points left you could take a thunderhammer on the intercessor sarge.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you saying run a basic primaris chappy without MOS?

 

I've not had much luck with the 3+ powers before but might be worth a shot. So take him with ROW Warlord trait as well?

 

I don't actually own any thunder hammers yet

Just see it as a bonus, when it does work. He is still a cheap beatstick. Just pay the 2cp for rerolls to hit in combat, to go off automatically. In combat patrol, agressor and assault intercessors with a hammer charging will clear most stuff.

Rites of war would only really affect the agressors, as I imagine the inceptors are somewhere else getting stuff done.

And if your opponent is only taking obsec bodies, you'll have fun mowing them down with bolter fire!

Dorn demand this! ;-)
