This is my plan to build out from the Vanguard Start Collecting box. I have a lot of power armour and terminators in my meta, including Blood Angels, so I'm trying to capitalize on chapter tactics and stay back to shoot. I realize some of the selections are suboptimal, particularly the terminator HQs, but I have to make some concessions to the rule of cool.
Plan is for the Intercessors and Centurions to go into reserve with the Strike from the Shadows stratagem, with the Lieutenant and Chapter Master doing the same via Grav-Chute and Teleport respectively. Chaplain will join the Aggressors using Master of Ambush to get close in preparation for a turn 1 shoot and charge with the Suppressors positioned to stop Overwatch from the target unit - unless I'm going second, in which case they'll turtle up in a forward position. Eliminators and Infiltrators will set up on mid/back board objectives.
Turn 2 the reserves will come on, Intercessors from the rear, Centurions against a threat, with the HQs landing wherever they need to grant re-rolls (either Centurions or Aggressors - I figure the snipers have their own buff and the Infiltrators don't do much damage anyway.)
My main concern is I'm very low on CP. I start with 4 and use 2 putting two squads into reserves. I would love to get some advice on whether the Centurions and Aggressors together might just be too expensive for 1500pt games, and whether I should just hold off on fielding both until I reach 2k and can run a double battalion.
