Endryd Haar tries flying

[The Dr]

Always wanted to try fire raptors and storm eagles but never felt I had the right force for them. This feels like it could work with a loyalist “world eaters” blackshields list. Any advice on this style of list would be very appreciated as I’ve never tried it out before. A bit worried it won’t perform the way I think it will in my head but happy to listen to people that have

 

Also BattleScribe had the option for vigilus storm shields on the terminators. Is this correct? I didn’t select them in this list but it could lead to a big change if I’ve somehow overlooked that option.

Interesting list.

 

Two issues at first glance:

 

1) loading up Endryd Haar into a storm eagle prevents you using his Warlord trait. Although, you don’t really have many units to take advantage of it, it does seem a waste.

 

2) there’s a lot of points in reserve, which might be a problem if you face an opponent who can manipulate your reserve rolls.

 

Oh, and terminators can’t take shields, I wouldn’t rely on battlescribe!

I really thought it was wrong for the shield access but I thought perhaps there was so something I missed.

 

I am very worried about the reserves. Always wanted to do the flyer list but I’ve always been worried about manipulation just making games non events. I was thinking of haar in a Spartan or equivalent but it just felt so overdone I was hoping this would work out.

 

The only issue is basically the melta squad walking now but they were more to be a backfield threat to deal with the inevitable drop pod leviathan or contemptor
