Hi guys
Just drafted a new mech list for my ultra. This time I wanna try out the scout missile thing because it's fun and it kinda fit my theme. Let me know what you think.
HQ
Chaplain Cassius
Librarian
Bolt Pistol, Power Armour, The Avenger, The Gate of Infinity
Elites
Dreadnought
Assault Cannon, Extra Armour
Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon
Heavy Flamer
Drop Pod with Locator Beacon
Storm Bolter
Terminator Assault Squad, 3 TH/SS and 2 LC
Troops
Scout Squad
4x Scout
4x Combat Blade
Scout Sergeant
Bolt Pistol, Power Fist
Tactical Squad x 2
Flamer, Missile Launcher, 9x Space Marine
Rhino
Extra Armour
Space Marine Sergeant
Combi-Flamer, Power Fist
Fast Attack
Land Speeder x2
Heavy Flamer, Multi-Melta
Land Speeder Storm
Heavy Flamer
Heavy Support
Land Raider Crusader
Extra Armour, Multi-Melta
Vindicator
Extra Armour
Facing a lot of gun platform these days (leman russes, fire prism, rangers, dark reapers, you name it...) so I plan on using the scouts in the storm speeder to suicide up and take that thing out (or at least tie it up for a while till my armored column can roll in). One question: Can I turbo boost in my scout move and still act normal during my turn? (provided I go first, of course) Wouldn't this give me a 40" assault range?
Cassius and Libbie goes in LR with termies squad and bash the amphetamine parrot out of anything that stand in their way. After that Libbie use gate to quickly redeploy the squad. I might consider leaving him with a tactical squad depending on the situation.
The tactical squads either rhino rush objectives or broadside enemy infantry to the ground.
Dreadnought smashes in with pod to further disrupt enemy lines or to help relieve the scouts. Locator beacon there for Land Speeders should they deepstrike.
Land Speeders either deep strike or act as outriders to pick out enemy armor or infantry clusters.
Vindicator accompanies the armor column, hopefully get some shots off.
I know my list will benefit a lot with Vulkan Hestan, but I'm an Ultramarines and I don't like borrowing from others.
Thanks
