Pride of the Legion Rite in both lists. I played a few games with all Legion Tactical squads, but they just aren't very killy against other Marines.

 

I'm not sold on the Volkite weaponry, so Plasmas abound.

I always feel medusa should have phospex shells.

 

They have. Slight increase in killing power against T5 an below, but lack instant death. However their creeping ire rule gives you he chance for more hits

 

And the siege breaker isn't a bad consul

 

Pleas Can you clear up the war gear on t apothecaries and contemptors, and say which squad each apothecary will join, Who has what. This will help in seeing their roles

I played a couple of games with Siege Breaker/Phosphex (that's actually how I had them originally) and didn't find that they were much improvement over normal Medusas and not having the Siege Breaker really freed up some points for me to get down to 1500. Plus the Nuncio-vox + BS4 is pretty reliable already.

 

And the S10 is much more useful for anti-tank, which I'm lacking. If I took Phosphex, I'd have to get a big squad of Lascannons or Rapier Battery.

 

Apothecary 1: Augury Scanner -> goes with big Tac squad

Apothecary 2: Power Weapon -> goes to Veteran Squad with Legion Champion

Apothecary 3: Power Weapon, Augury Scanner -> goes to Veteran Squad with Loken

 

In 2000 points, Loken joins the Vet squad with the Nuncio-vox. I want to play a few more games before I start differentiating the war gear load on the two squads although I thought about splitting them into an assault focused and shooting focused unit instead of two pretty much the same.

 

Contemptor 1: Kheres Assault Cannon, DCCW, Plasma Blaster

Contemptor 2: Kheres Assault Cannon, DCCW, Heavy Flamer

 

I'm really tempted to do the same with the Contemptors, make one dual DCCW with some combination of plasma/flamer and one dual Kheres Assault Cannon. More playtesting will probably help decide, but I think I like having a little redundancy in case one gets popped, the other can still do about the same thing.

 

Thanks for the feedback!
