List Review  (great list here)

Konichiwa from Japan! I was hoping you guys could help me out. I was trying to find a way to have a competitive Crimson Fist list cause I’m a fan of Pedro Cantor. I’m trying to make an effective build beyond the usual gladius, bike spam, etc.

The goal is flexible deployment, MSU with ObSec, some ability to deal with D-weapon units and take advantage of Chapter tactics and character abilities as best as possible. My meta isn’t so competitive, but I am.  😀

The list is only 1749 so far, but going to 1850:

Crimson Fist CAD – 1850

The scouts combat squad down during deployment. The landspeeder storms act as gunships with the heavy bolters. They keep range as best as possible until need to take objectives. Can support Pedro in assault if necessary.

Pedro and Tigurius join the Assault centurions in the Storm Raven in reserve. They hard counter units like StormSurges, Wraithknights, or bike-stars. I threw on a dreadnought as well to run interference for my centurion star or otherwise support them when they deploy.

I put 5 termies in the drop pod to get them in 1st turn to where I need them and act as a distraction. I took regular termies over assault simply for surprise value and also the fact they might actually do some damage with their storm bolters in the 1st turn. Plus if they aren’t as threatening then it’s possible they may get ignored long enough to do something. But… do you think I should go with assault termies anyway in order to draw fire away from scouts?

I’m worried the storm raven won’t effectively deliver the centurions. Should I just go for a landraider instead? I’ll lose the little bit of anti-air I have though.

I have about 100 points to go, and not sure what to spend them on. Want to protect the devs, so bubble wrap units or maybe rhinos? Get some fast attack? Thought about using Sternguard as well but thought they’d be a bit of a glass hammer… anyway, any advice how to finish off the list would be appreciated.

——————————————–

I had to drop the dreadnought and put 5 assault terminators in instead. I gave two of them thunderhammer storm shields for defense.

Basically they will do the same thing as the regular terminators in the 1st turn. Force my opponent to shoot at them by getting in their face. And hopefully draw enough fire to keep my obsec units and devastators alive for a turn or two more.

I put a locator beacon on the drop pod to help draw fire to it as well. I won’t necessarily teleport in near the drop pod, but good to have the option and have my opponent to have to choose to deal with it or not.

Here’s the list:
