Hi all

 

This is the list at the list that I have currently settled on (until I change my mind again) and I'm curious about how people would expand this out to 3k.

 

Before anyone asks, I'm currently not aware of what my local meta is like but I'm aiming for as much flexibility as I can get with my deployment and a general allcomers list if possible. 

 

Here is the list that I was going to work towards in 2.0

Moved and split:

- Lernaean

 

If people have other ideas of where I might be able to take this, I would really enjoy hearing it.

For the 3k 3.0 list I'd personally drop the Spartan for another HQ (Vigilator?) and Land Raider and put all of your other tanks in a Armoured Support Detachment to free up your Prime Advantages. 

 

I think that for Prime Advantages the +1 to Ld, Cl, Wp and Int will be a bit more useful on your Recon squads (perhaps swapping one with the Tarantula battery so both end up in Prime) than Logistical Benefits.  Similarly the Master Sergeant and Paragon of Battle could be more useful on your mêlée units.

 

Perhaps Centurion gets TA and goes with the Terminators in the Land Raider unless you have a model you really want to use as the Centurion?

 

Also depending points left over / how the games go, you might want to increase the number of models in the Recon squads?

 

Hope these suggestions are helpful without changing the vibes of the list!
