Army List Building General:

> 5 man vanguard squads
Never really worked out for me. Easy targets for literaly anything.
> Destroyers
Loaded out with what?
> Characters
No Conversion Fields? Especially if a Skitarii is going to be your warlord, it seems wise.
> Tactical squads with nothing in them
Get a flamer or something! You're not Imperial Fists. you can't rely on bolters to get the job done, and your skitarii squads are going to die before they can do the heavy lifting for you
> Command squad + biker
It's alright. I wouldn't o it myself, but I can see where your'e coming from.
> Dev squad
I don't have grav so I can't speak for it, but it seems like a lot of eggs in one basket.
> Assault squad
Might wanna note that they have jump packs. And if they don't have jump packs, get them.

I'm not a guard player but I'd be wary of mixing special + heavy weapons (as you are doing with flamers and autocannons). Do those HWTs get split off from the main squad?

Take 4 special weapons in the CCS if you're going to take any. It's not worth going halfway when you already have a fair amount of points into it.

Could take an Inquisitor and some fancy wargear for him or an extra mastery level.

Where would they best be put? Giving the CCS/PCSs heavy weapon teams? Or slapping them on the tanks? I'm always wary about giving BS3 bug weapons with few shots

>5 man Vanguard
I see what you mean, but I've always had the opposite experience, five mans just click with me.
>Destroyers run
They've got Grav. I don't risk plasma too often, the rolls make me kill more than my enemy does

>tacticals with nothing
I was actually very curious about this, I'm new to playing SM. Should you run them with a special, and if so, which one? I kind of figured they just combat objective holders and harass infantry.

>Devs
they will attract lots of fire, my plan is to hold them backfield sand deal with MCs.

>Assault
They do have jump packs, I'm just retarded.

>I see what you mean, but I've always had the opposite experience, five mans just click with me.
More power to you
>They've got Grav. I don't risk plasma too often, the rolls make me kill more than my enemy does
Yeah, I feel you. I feel like you've actually got something of a weakness to t3/4+ in this list, with all the grav and bolters.
>I was actually very curious about this, I'm new to playing SM. Should you run them with a special, and if so, which one? I kind of figured they just combat objective holders and harass infantry.
They can do that, and only that. I'd suggest finding room for plasmaguns or, if points are tight, melta. A tactical squad needs to be ready for anything. It's what they're there for.
>they will attract lots of fire
They will die like 5 tactical marines, which is fairly easy to kill. There's enough shit that shoots down the table that they're going to be engaged, and therefore dead.

I generally Lascannons on Vets, the BS4 makes it a kitty less risky than using a heavy weapons squad. Grab 2 and place them as needed and you'll have some top tier anti-tank weapons in good hands.

>Tacticals
I see what you mean, the versatility really would help them out.
>Devs
Now that I look at it, some Lascannons might be better, the Kataphrons give all the Grav I'll need and it'll free up points.

Thanks for the tips!

250 point Storm Wardens kill team (using Space Wolves rules since I think they fit)

Storm Wardens KT

Troops - Grey Hunters - 95
Plasma Gun

Elites - Lone Wolf - 50
Power Maul
Storm Shield

Fast Attack - Skyclaws - 105
2x Plasma Guns

Nice Plasma, it'll make quick work of heavy stuff. IDK if vanilla marines can take anything similar, but Smurfs tactics would be nice for Reroll 1s.

I don't know about the Power Maul though, the strength boost is nice but against MEQs the AP throws it out the window. And if it's beefier models you're using it against the Plasma will do it for you. Claws would be a good balance there.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to go for with the power weapon. I wanted something that had rules fitting for the big-ass Scottish claymores. Maybe Thunder Hammer and drop the SS too? After all, he's got FNP and S8 probably won't be too common aside from one-shot meltaguns.

I wouldn't drop the SS, never underestimate the beauty of 3++.

Again, I wouldn't be going for Thunder Hammers to deal with heavies, leave those to the plasma. Anything that big will kill your guy before he strikes in all likelihood. Either a sword or claw is your best bet, not unwieldy and AP3.

Acolytes are also in a razorback w/ psybolts

Why not rock the Command Squad on bikes and stick them with the Captain? Even if you keep him in Termi armor and not on a bike, you're majority T5. Plus, you can split them off and go do other things with that increased speed, too.

Skyhammer is okay, though I question your choice of missile launchers and bolters. Those are pretty much the worst two heavy weapons you could have picked.

You sunk a lot of points into the Acolytes. I wouldn't bother, honestly. If you want some extra plasma guns, take Scions instead. BS 3 ain't helping nobody.

Inquisitor also seems overdone on his wargear. Plasma Pistol is just unnecessary, take a combi-melta so you can assault. Who's he riding with? You've got 30 points of assault grenades and no good way to get him there.

Quick question, Is the Land raider Terminus Ultra still legal?

1000(980)pts of Blood Angels:
1 x Captain with Artificer Armor, Valour's Edge, JP, Melta-bomb.
1 x Death Company Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Magna-Grapple, Heavy Flamer, Meltagun, Drop Pod
5 x Death Company, JP, Power Fist
5 x Death Company, JP, Power Fist
5 x Tacticals, Heavy Flamer, Meltabomb, Rhino
5 x Tacticals, Heavy Flamer, Meltabomb, Rhino
1 x Attack Bike, Multi-Melta
1 x Attack Bike, Multi-Melta

It comes to 980, but I'm wondering about expanding it to 1000 with upgrades or moving stuff around.
I normally run more Death Company and Tacticals and no Dreadnoughts, but last time I used a DC dread without the recent attack boost, it did well at cutting up enemy transports and made back it's cost.

Flyers aren't an issue and I like to stay true to burning it all down. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions.

H bolters and missiles are because my local meta is mostly orks, daemons and blob guard.
Captain rides with the command squad in the pod with the inquisitor and techmarine and drops down in the middle of then enemy to pop a tank/daemon prince and try to keep the enemy preoccupied.
Acolytes are 86 points for 6 plasma shots and a psyker to throw out prescience to make up for BS3 (and it's a much smaller point sink than scions since I'm bringing the inquisitor anyways)

Inquisitor is the command squads swiss army knife that lets the command squad punch way above their numbers. Plasma pistol is more for fun however since it's only 10 points in the inquisition book.

Ought to be but it's not worth it now that the Spartan and laser destroyer vindicator exist.

Oh boy, a thread with people in it.

I need advice on how to kit out my vehicles. The Stormraven especially.

Oh sweet thanks!

Got a 1250 toruniment coming up.
Orks, have trukk boyz and goodies, like lootas.
Have only 2 deffkoptas, some lootas, and a squad of mek guns.
Shooty orks, or melee orks?

I'm the BA player who posted here , How does the Baal Predator work for you? I have 4 Predators, but no Baal Predators and I keep putting off getting one because I usually here negative shit (and the range from my Las-Predators usually works better for me).

...But I feel like Baal predators may not be worth the slot they use until they can be squadded.

I just have one because they're a unique BA unit and I wanted one. Usually just a distraction, or something to disrupt an objective. Sorry m8.
