1K of Ultramarines Successors for a FLGS Tourney

[Scrapknight]

Hey all,

 

So I've played my first few games with this list and I was wondering both what steps to take next as I work towards 2K and if there were any suggestions for improving it as is. I like it for the most part - it's pretty balanced overall and have been able to put up a good fight despite making newbie mistakes - but I feel like it's lacking mobility which just kinda leads to some problems. Similarly, most of my heavy anti-armor is melee, which has given me some trouble against armor-heavy lists with really powerful shooting. Also my dreadnought has been shot off the table more often than I'd like, so IDK if I really need a librarian for Psychic Fortress or if it's just about being better at positioning.

 

I know a lot of competitive stuff has been leaning in the direction of Dreadnought spam lately but I'm not dying to just follow that route. Finally, I'd like to keep it all Primaris if at all possible, though anything I can easily enough kitbash from a Primaris model could be an option.

 

I also already have the following that I was thinking of including in the 2K version:

- Gravis captain w/ heavy bolt rifle

- 3-man Bladeguard Vet Squad

- Eliminator Squad

- Primaris Apothecary

- 5 more Intercessors

 

Basically I wanted to go in an infantry-focused direction with the Apothecary in the middle of a castle, but I just feel like I need some more mobility to help get on objectives more easily. Suggestions on that front would be appreciated too.

 

As for how to improve the 1K as is, objective-wise I've usually been taking Oaths of Moment, Engage on All Fronts (the Inceptors help here) and either a mission specific or something tailored to the opponent's list (Assassinate, Bring it Down, No Prisoners, etc.)
