Lysander runs with the Centurions. The MOF can hopefully repair a tank or 2 and maybe get off a str 10 potshot. Otherwise I’ve tried to have an answer for most things but am aware I’m light in assault and flyer defense but think the predators can help out a bit with flyers. Does this list have what it takes or am I doomed to failure?
Hopefully you guys have the time to review, but if not I will still faithfully click your site multiple times in a day, just with a heavier heart.
Thanks!
Those Resistance models (pictures) look amazing!
ALSO, super excited because Hawk WG is re-releasing all of the starter boxes in multi-part plastic soon with all of the same detail and quality and a price cut down to roughly $55.00!!!!
There’s an unboxing/interview on Beasts of War’s youtube channel if you want to check it out.
Nice, that is awesome!
Thanks for the list review!
Low model count indeed. The Master Of The Forge is on a bike, so the hope is that he gets off some choice Strength 10 and then can get back for some timely vehicle repair.
The 2 Scout squads are because 4 Obj Sec. for 200 points seems like a deal. Outflank. Hide. Jump on objectives if needed. Heavy Flamers just in case.
Lysander is there to tank some fire for the Gravs, hopefully keeping them alive for a turn or 2 and then maybe he can deter an assault. The real issue is that I am incapable of building a marine list without him.
But you guys gave some good food for thought. Always helpful.
also RHINOS!!!!!! ( I just get excited about tanks )
Yeah, I totally see the value of the Scouts, no worries. I run an all Scout army!
RHINOS!!
Cents in dops will be a big thing, you dont have to deep strike the pod close it should be used as a decent first turn ‘move’ trying to keep with your army. its a bargain, as it frees up pyskers to look for something other than gate. Plus they cant be alpha struck by the opponent. I will be shocked if its not a common thing in tournaments. 3 cents in a pod with tiggy.
The good thing is most tournaments are limiting CADs to 1, as you were allowed 2, 3 pods full of cents would be horrific for all my lists.
Yeah, exactly. You need to cut back on the amount of insanity that you can pack into a list to keep it fun.
Throw in a cheap rune priest with the centurions in pod for prescience
I love Xcom
But I thought reece didnt do video games

Thousand sons… Cool Aid cap sons… Same difference lol
I thought battle brothers had to start on the table before they could embark on a transport. This would preclude them from coming in on a drop pod.
woot!
