Well, that's definitely about as aggressive as it gets. Have you given the priest the Chief Apothecary upgrade?

[Jolemai]

Isn't 5CP a concern?

Yeah, its taken into account in the points since it is a pre req for selfless healer.

 

Isn't 5CP a concern?

Yeah, it is. It would only be 3cp without Dante as WL. I tried a few iterations with a Lieutenant or Astorath instead to trim points, but its really hard to decide on what relics and WLT to drop.

 

Really, I think this might be a carry over from my MTG days when I'd try to make my decks as lean as possible.

 

Personally, I'd really like to find a way to include a 9 x bike squad with 2 x meltas, multi melta and TH, but the most i have been able to trim from this without losing SG or making it all kinds of wonky is 220 pts, about 110 pts shy of the bike squad.  I'm not sure if losing the ASM, 6x inferno pistols, onslaught gatling cannon and eliminator squade is worth it, but all 9 bikers are built and asking to see the table top.

Out of interest, how does this list play? Ideally, what starts the game where, does it move as a blob or separately? Etc

Genuinely curious as I can't field something like this (yet).
