1500 point relictors list
« on: January 22, 2009, 07:20:31 PM »
  Hey guys, this will be my first post.  Been lurking around the forums for far too long. I have been playing warhammer 40k since early third edition, but this will be my first army built from the ground up for 5th.  I play with a decent sized group of friends, and can be expecting any army, though meq seems to be popular(as awlays).  So just let me know what sucks and what doesnt about my list, I wont take offense.                                             

                        Relictors Space marines 1500 points


HQ: Epistolary Librarian
Force dome, Gate of infinity     150 pts
___________________ ________________

Troops: 10 man tactical squad
Sergeant has power fist/bolter
One marine has a melta
One marine has a multi-melta
Rhino with extra armor              250 pts

Troops: 10 man tactical squad
Sergeant has power fist/bolter
One marine has a melta
One marine has a mult-melta
Rhino with extra armor              250 pts

Troops: 10 man tactical squad
Sergeant has power fist/bolter
One marine has a melta
One marine has a plasma cannon
Rhino with extra armor              255 pts
___________________ ________________

Elites: 10 man Sternguard Veteran squad
Sergeant has power fist/ bolter
5 veterans have combi-meltas   
Drop pod                                  335 pts

Elites: Dreadnought               
Default Weapons
Extra armor                              120 pts
___________________ ________________
 
Heavy Support: Vindicator
Siege shield                                 
Extra armor                               140 pts
         

                                       total: 1500 points

I intend to drop pod the librarian with the sternguard, as kind of a necron-lord esque shooty unit of doom.  The dreadnought will be set up front, and the thinos will provide and armored screen for the vindicator as long as possible until they break off to the objectives with their angry cargo.

Fitting in with the relictors fluff I will be exchanging some close combat weapons with chaos/daemon counterparts, on the sergeants and such.  I only have the troops as far as models go, but I will be filling out the army as finances permit :)

It looks fairly well-balanced, so I'll only make one small suggestion.

Exchange the Extra Armor on the Vindicator for a Locator Beacon on the Sternguard's Drop Pod. 

The Vindicator isn't likely to need to move when it can't fire since it will likely have moved into area terrain with it's Siege Shield, but being able to teleport your Librarian and accompanying Sternguard Vet Squad safely from one side of the Drop Pod to the other and back may prove very useful during any given battle.  That is, if you drop the 'Pod somewhere other than way out on your opponent's flank.

And welcome to 40kOnline as our newest poster.  :D

you could find the points for an extra drop pod for the dreadnought. i've found the short range of the multimelta doesn't matter so much when you appear right next to a tank
If you roll enough dice - everything dies eventually.

I feel like an idiot for missing the locator beacon, I may have to think about that second drop pod as well.  there is something amazing about 40 tons of angry walker falling on someone.  Thank you both for the ideas!
