Hey guys with the points updates from chapter approved I have written a list for an upcoming doubles event next year. The event is 1000 points per player, most likely 2 detachments per 1000 points.
My ally is likely to be running Skarbrand with blood letters and other melee orientated units.
Battalio Detachment
HQ
Ahriman
Exalted Sorceror, force staff
Elites
Hellforged Contemptor, Deathclaw with combi-bolter, multi-melta
Hellforged Sicaran, heavy bolter sponsons
Troops
5 Rubric marines, force staff, soulreaper cannon
5 Rubric marines, force axe, soulreaper cannon
5 Rubric marines, force sword
999 points
The Sicaran is fantastic with the points reduction, it is only 190 points with heavy bolter sponsons and pumps out 17 shots a turn! Likewise the contemptor is now only 172 points with this configuration.
I don't have a lot of bodies on the table but that is always going to be the case unless I take Tzangors or cultists, which isn't the route I want to go.
Look forward to hearing some feedback,
thanks for reading!
