Hi, im new here and i was wondering if anyone could give me some help/tips on my army to make it better or just some helpful ideas :)
(PS Luke you inspired me to make this list and stay faithful with my mini marines)
The list:
1 Vanguard detachment 983pts
Chapter: ✠CRIMSON FISTS✠
No Matter The Odds: Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by this unit that target an enemy unit that contains at least twice as many models as their own. For the purposes of this ability, CRIMSON FISTS DREADNOUGHT units from your army count as 5 other models.
HQ's:
✠Primaris Lieutenant in phobos armour✠ (WARLORD) 80pts
Warlord trait:
Target Priority- Target Priority: Instead of shooting with your warlord in the shooting phase, you can select one friendly Chapter unit within 3" of it and one enemy unit that is visible to your warlord. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to all hit rolls made by that friendly unit that target that enemy unit.
✠Pedro cantor✠ 150pts
Wargear: power fist and Dorns arrow
(adds 1 to all attacks and re-rolls all failed hits
Elites:
✠Apothecary✠ 55pts
Wargear: chainsword and bolt pistol
✠Chapter Ancient✠ 76pts
Wargear: powersword
RELIC:
Standard of the Emperor Ascendant (plus 1 to all the banner rolls)
✠2 Honour Guard✠ 52pts
Wargear: 2x powersword
✠6 Centurion Devastators✠ 570pts
Wargear 5x twin lascannons (10 lascannons)
6 Hurricane bolters
1 twin heavy bolter
And that's it! As some of you may be able to tell this list relies on pumping out as many shots as i can instead of being tactically flexible but i think it just might work :)
So the main stratigem im going to use is bolter drill, here is what it does :
BOLTER DRILL 1CP: Use this Strategem just before an Imperial Fists Infantry unit attacks in the Shooting Phase. Each time you make a hit roll of 6+ for a model firing a bolt weapon, that model can immediately make another hit roll using the same weapon at the same target these bonus attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks). For the purposes of this Strategem, a bolt weapon is any weapon profile whose name includes the word “bolt” (e.g. boltgun, bolt rifle, heavy bolter, boltstorm gauntlet) Pedro Cantor’s Dorn’s Arrow is also a bolt weapon.
So when using this on my 6 hurricane bolters i have 72 shots ready to go, say im shooting at a unit that is double my size, i get +1 to hit, then i use my warlord trait to give me another +1 to hit, this effectively means i get extra bolter shots on 4+ when i roll my 72 dice :D
Plus with the Centurion being infantry i cant use quite afew things to my advantage, the apothecary can heal them, the chapter Ancient can let them fire when they die, they can use the auspex stratagem to shoot those cheeky deepstrikers, and stuff like that. But yeah! hope you enjoyed looking through this list, please send your feedback in the comments :)
