1500 pts Ultramarines Counter-Strike
« on: July 8, 2008, 10:29:36 PM »
Hey all.  Thought I'd share the 1500 point list I've been using lately.  The 1000 point version is Wuestenfux's "Gun Battery Ultramarines Strike Force."


HQ
Master w/ power weapon, bolt pistol, iron halo, jump packs, krak, frags  - 139 pts

ELITE
Dreadnought w/ assault cannon, heavy flamer – 115 pts

Dreadnaught w/ missile launcher, twin-linked lascannon – 135 pts

TROOPS
Tactical squad – 115 pts
6 Marines w/ lascannon, plasma gun, bolter (x4)

Tactical squad – 115 pts
6 Marines w/ lascannon, plasma gun, bolter (x4)

FAST ATTACK

Land Speeder Tornado - 80 pts
Land Speeder Tornado - 80 pts

Attack Bike w/ multi-melta – 65

Assault squad – 216 pts
7 Marines w/ plasma pistol (x2), bolt pistol (x5)
Veteran Sergeant w/ power fist, bolt pistol

HEAVY SUPPORT
Predator Annihilator w/ twin linked lascannon (turret), heavy bolter (sp), armour – 135 pts

Devastator Squad – 200 pts
6 Marines w/ missile launcher (x4)


So far, it has performed very well as a 'take on all comers' list.  It looks impressive on the table top, it has a lot of range and can cover the whole of the field, and it has a lot of mobile elements.  It is not so much min-maxed as it is composed of units I own and enjoy playing.  Just thought I'd share it with you all and see what feedback you had.

Also, a pic of some of my finished troops:

First, your painting and converting are very nice.  I especially like the ammo packs on the Tactical Marine's shoulder pad.  Neat idea.   :)

Your list looks very fun, and even competitive, but I noticed one illegality:  Attack Bike Squadrons must have a minimum of two Attack Bikes unless you're playing BA or DA.  It appears that you are playing Ultramarines, however, so you'll need to adjust something there.

Post some Battle Reports in the appropriate forum for us to read and post more of these pictures in the Painting forum.

Good advice from Joshua:

Choose you this day
Whom you will serve...
As for me and my house,
We will serve the Lord.
