Taking Ultramarines to the London GT

[Captain Idaho]

Yeah before turn 3 and my Captain might struggle a bit with a functional AP-1 vs AoC armies.

Don't think there's a way for Ultramarines to sneak a non-Core model into Assault Doctrine which sucks.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Well not every faction has AoC so it’s not a total loss.

[Captain Idaho]

Certainly the factions I'll struggle most with won't have it. 

Sisters of Battle and Massed Guard tanks being an exception. Death Guard too, but the D3 would likely do me better even without the AP.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

What are your tactics versus Deathguard? I’d love to know.

[Captain Idaho]

Lose is my first thought! They do what I do but better with more infantry and probably Mortarian.

My main thoughts are to hit their lead elements with all my firepower at once to make them possible to kill in melee or just wiped out.

The High Explosive shells from the Kratos, along with its 4 Lascannons and 2 Multi-melta shots, should make a dent on even their Blightlords.

I think Mortarian will be tough to take down still but a single volley from the Vindicator Laser Destroyer can turn the tide in a way the opponent must respect.

On this basis the opponent will have to commit Mortarian or suffer constantly being shot from a distance since he couldn't be hidden easily, thus forcing his hand with the rest of the army to support or risk losing an expensive model for nothing.

I have a great track record vs DG with my BT but wow those terminators never seem to fail their invulnerable saves. Tip - if there is a character(s) buffing them try to take them out asap… they are usually quite squishy.

[Captain Idaho]

Cool. Perhaps my Captain can jump on a character or 2 from an angle thanks to his immense movement.

Ah nooooo. I've had to pull out due to financial commitments. (Accommodation etc)

I'm happy with the Core of the list and concept and will probably do a few more 1 day local tournaments instead whilst saving money for a big venture next year.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I’m thinking about working Uriel into my list.

[Captain Idaho]

He's a good core Captain. What would you like to build around him/army?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I’d bring him along with the Gman - of course.
