Any advice would be much appreciated! I care a lot about my theme, so it isn't win at all costs...just not lose terribly to other lists. I feel like I'll struggle with Terminators & nasty close combat themed armies.

 

I have many other miniatures that I could add into the army if I needed to rotate something. I have plenty of HQ's - Master of Signal, Terminator armoured chaps etc, as well as Justaerin, a substantial Reaver squad with Jump Packs, an extra Storm Eagle & some Dreadclaws. It's hard to decide what to use!

Everything looks good from where I'm sitting. I'm not such a fan of praetors, but if there's a RoW you like or just like the idea of a big boss, it's all good. Especially fond of your hunter-killer missiles on the jet bikes - a great points value there and quite fluffy. If I was going to make a change, it might be their multi-melta load out; I prefer something a little more stand off-ish, but that's just me.

 

Again - nothing jumps out as particularly crazy or anything so I'm thinking you are going to have a great time and solid showing!

 

Good luck man!

Thanks for the advice mate! I was thinking about swapping the Praetor out for a Master of Signal in the 1500, as without the Spartan I probably shouldn't be seeking close combat too much. Glad you like the theme though :)

Throwing in couple of suggestions...

 

- you can take power fist instead of digital laser for almost the same price you have both +1A and AP2 when needed.

- from my experience artificer armour is worth taking for sergeants, and either power axe of power fist.

- if you're facing other marines and would like to fight them in melee, I would take power swords for apothecaries.

- I usually find additional ccw too expensive, so I take either only bolters or only ccw.
