My Sm 2K for my FLGS campaign

[DR.V]

Hello Bells my FLGS is starting up a 40K campaign in January, and I have 2K worth of points to divide up by 500. I can have four 500 points or two 1K or a 1K and two 500 ect ect. It is looking like a take there will be multiple worlds to fight over. This will be my first campaign and I was thinking of doing one 1K and two 500 armies, with trying to have the ability to take on a larger point army if I come across one. Almost forgot I am running Space Marines with the Clan Raukeen supplement. Iron Hands FTW :)

1K
HQ: Master of the Forge + SMB
Troop: Tack 10 man with Razorback with TL Assault cannon
Troop: Tack 10 man with Razorback with TL Heavy Bolter
Troop Scouts 5 man with Sniper Rifles and camo cloaks
Heavy Support: Devastator Squad 5 man ML x 4 with Flack missiles
Heavy Support: Predator Tank TL Lascannon and Lascannon sponsons
Heavy Support: Thunderfire Cannon

500 A
Chapter master + SMB + power fist + chain sword + Gorgons chain + AA
SMB squad 5 man Grav Gun x2
SMB squad 5 man Melta Gun x 2

500 B
Tack 5 man with Heavy bolter
Tack 5 man with Heavy bolter
Tack 5 man with Heavy bolter
Centurion Dev with Grav cannon with Grav amp and Hurricane bolters Omniscope

Any thoughts would be helpful and welcome.

Thank you

Ummm, you can't put 10 people in a Razorback...

[DR.V]

they are mainly there as gun platforms Plus if i combat squad i can fit 5 in there and the other 5 to camp objectives.

Plus they don't have to be in the Razorback at the start / at all.

Don't you need to take HQ for the 500 points?

[Popsical]

Take some dreads, the IH rules actually make them useable. Add some variety.

[DR.V]

Tynskel: It was my understanding that under 750 points you don't have to use force org

Popsical: I could add some dreads. Thinking to the 1K list maybe something like this,

1K
HQ: Master of the Forge + SMB
Troop: Tack 10 man with Rhino
Troop: Tack 10 man with Rhino
Elite: Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
Heavy Support: Devastator Squad 5 man ML x 4 with Flack missiles
Heavy Support: Predator Tank TL Lascannon and Lascannon sponsons
Heavy Support: Dreadnought Multi-Melta Power Fist with Heavy flamer

[DR.V]

Well after much thinking and some talks with my friends think I am going to go with this.

1K
HQ: Master of the Forge + SMB + Auspex
Troop: Tack 10 man Lascannon with Rhino
Troop: Tack 10 man Lascannon with Rhino
Elite: Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
Fast Attack: Stormtalon Gunship with Skyhammer Missiles
Heavy Support: Predator Tank TL Lascannon and Lascannon sponsons
Heavy Support: Dreadnought Multi-Melta Power Fist with Heavy flamer

500 A
Chapter master + SMB + power fist + chain sword + Gorgons chain + AA
SMB squad 5 man Grav Gun x2
SMB squad 5 man Melta Gun x 2

500 B
Librarian in Terminator armor (Do not know if I want to make him LVL 2 or keep the armor)
Tack 5 man with Heavy bolter
Tack 5 man with Heavy bolter
Centurion Dev with Grav cannon with Grav amp and Hurricane bolters

Was talking to the GM and he said that I have to use force org for my 500 point armies. Also got the Storm wing box set for Christmas :D so more flyers in the future.
Any advice is helpful sill new to this game and not the best at making lists just yet

Thank you

So you're Allied Detachment is Iron Hands from Clan Raukaan? Then what Chapter is your Primary Detachment from? And no, you always have to follow the FoC at any point cost level (although past 2K you have the option to double it, but it is not required that you must double it).

[DR.V]

Sorry I may have confused some people with my wording. I am just going Clan Raukann no allied detachments of any kind. Ya I found out about fore org when I reread the rule book(Reading is key) I may have been thinking of patrol clash and confused myself.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah the reading can get to you at times and your excitement can outrun your eyes. I completely know what you mean. I make the same mistake at times.

Did you change your list at all? Maybe a post with an updated list for us to take a gander at?

[DR.V]

Well I was thinking of cutting the two 500 point armies and going with two 1k armies. However my inner RTS player is yelling at me to get the resources, because more resources = bigger army and that = crushing my foes. If i did run two 1k armies was looking at the second on being like this.

Master of the forge + SMB and Auspex
Techmarine with servo harness and Iron Stone
Troop: Tack 5 man Lascannon with Rhino
Troop: Tack 5 man Lascannon with Rhino
Troop Scouts 5 man with Sniper Rifles and camo cloaks
Elite: Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
Elite: Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Power Fist with Heavy Flamer
Heavy Support: Predator Tank with Heavy Bolter sponsons
Heavy Support: Predator Tank with Heavy Bolter sponsons

With this one as the other 1k army.

1K
HQ: Master of the Forge + SMB + Auspex
Troop: Tack 10 man Lascannon with Rhino
Troop: Tack 10 man Lascannon with Rhino
Elite: Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
Fast Attack: Stormtalon Gunship with Skyhammer Missiles
Heavy Support: Predator Tank TL Lascannon and Lascannon sponsons
Heavy Support: Dreadnought Multi-Melta Power Fist with Heavy flamer
