Right as my first attempt was met with... less than enthusiastic praise here's attempt two, dropping the assault marine heavy idea Korvydae almost demands, and more anti tank.
-------------
Raven Guard - 1750
Captain Kayvaan Shrike - 195
Chaplin + Jumppack - 115
Vanguard Squad (5 men) + 10 x lightning claws + 5 x Jumppack - 310 (Shrikes wing)
Dreadnought + Heavy flamer + Multimelta + Droppod - 150
Scout Squad (10 men) + Sniper Rifles + Missile Launcher + Sergeant Telion - 215
Tactical Squad (10 men) + Multimelta + Meltagun + Powerfist + Droppod - 230
Tactical Squad (10 men) + Multimelta + Meltagun + Powerfist + Droppod - 230
Landspeeder + Multimelta + Heavy Flamer X2 - 140
Landspeeder + Multimelta + Heavy Flamer X2 - 140
1725

This is a good fluffy list, I think anyway. 25 points gives you chance to change the dreads weapons or give the Chaplin a fist.
Scouts can also be dropped for another tactical if you want. My only other idea is replace a tactical with
------------
Assault Squad (10 men) + Flamer x 2 + Power Fist - 235
------------
List is a bit more of a semi optomised "battle force list" but i think it should work in a similar way to my soul drinkers.
If you're not set on the chaplin I can do a better version with two dreads as your first wave backed up by the tacticals.

Hope you prefer these two

I still think that making a 'counts-as' shrike Lightning Claw armed Captain and then using the Blood Angels codex is a better way of doing it.
ReplyDeleteVanguard are cheaper + better in the BA Codex and your Assault Squads are troops that can also take 2 Meltaguns.
@GMort
ReplyDeleteI know, I have a 3rd company roster using BA codex but I was Catering to the Snaz.
I still think that for almost 200 points Shrike should make Assault squads troops, and the same for all extra equipment on captains
but thats a rant post for another time :P
hope you're enjoying and i'm not stealing too much of your style
@ Citizenwilliams - Snazle has yet to actually use a list that I wrote for him in any recognisable form so maybe you'll have more luck.
ReplyDeleteSteal all the style you like, lol. You''ll find your own preferred 'blogging' style relatively quickly anyway and we all have to start somewhere ;-)
@ GMort
ReplyDeleteindeed, i'm hoping so with painting and gaming all in one he may end up with some pretty good RG
cheers, when I get time I'll play about with stuff more :P
