Hi, I'm looking for some final advice for my sons first army - he's currently more interested in painting than playing and despite being young did an excellent job on an ultramarine....
Can you guys look at the two lists below - I suspect the 2nd is stronger and whilst it's a mobile army that might suit White Scar's better , I think White is much less forgiving than "blue"!
The first list was meant to be a fun alternative - not sure about the Basic Razorback - the other option was to use a Rhino (-20 points) and give a JPack to the Librarian and have him run with the Vanguards.....
Any suggestions or improvements would be appreciated!
Ravenguard:
HQ Librarian & plasma pistol (75 points)
Troops 10 tactical Marines --> Combat squads
5 with meltagun, in basic Razorback (librarian goes with them)
5 + Mlauncher
(220 points)
5 Scouts + CCloaks + Sniper Rifles
(70 points)
5 Vanguard vets with JPacks Power weapon x2
(135 points)
500 points
Not sure about a "basic" Razorback vs a Rhino....
Ultramarines
Librarian (65 points)
Troops 10 tactical marines, Flamer & ML, MBomb + Rhino
5 with flamer + librarian in the rhino
5 with ML
(200 points)
5 scouts, MBomb + Land Speeder Storm with Heavy Flamer
(105 points)
Fast Attack
5 bike marines, 2 meltaguns, MBomb
(130 points)
500 points
Not sure about Landspeeder storm vs cheaper CC/Sniper scouts - saves 35 points & drop 1 MBomb from bikes/tactical squad and we could have a Razorback with twin-linked lascannons instead......but would be less mobile and less "fun" to paint?
