40k – Ultramarine Army List – Playing the army you like

ftnadmin

ironclad dread 1I get army list questions all the time and each one is an excuse to look at units that I may personally skip over while building my own lists.

I like it when people explain to me what units they ‘like’ the most and want to include in their list.  They don’t care about efficiency, they just care about putting cool models on the table.

That is where lists like this come from:

 

++ Space Marines: Codex (2015) (Combined Arms Detachment) ++

+ HQ +

Captain

  • ···Chapter Master
  • ·······Artificer Armour [The Shield Eternal, Thunder Hammer]

+ Elites +

  • ···Ironclad Dreadnought
  • ·······Drop Pod [Storm Bolter]
  • ·······Power Fist [Heavy Flamer]
  • ·······Seismic Hammer [Meltagun]

Terminator Assault Squad [8x Any model may replace its two Lightning Claws for a Thunderhammer and Storm Shield, 8x Terminator] ····Terminator Sergeant [Thunderhammer and Storm Shield]

This list has an Ironclad in it!   The Ironclad can either ride on the back of the Storm Raven or plop down to back up the Centurions in their pod.

The pilot of this list didn’t want to include any other chapters in their list and happens to have a cool model of a walking chapter master with a thunder hammer and storm shield.   All good with me…

This list is clearly not ‘under powered’ due to the Centurions and unit of Terminators.  It can win games while being fun to play.  The assassin can ride in the pod or the storm raven (really extending its aura of feelbad) so while I am framing this as a non efficient list it can still compete in tournaments.

What are some models you like to include in your lists no matter what?

  1. Converted Wolf Lord I made a couple of months ago. Modeled him with a Grey Knight power sword to represent the Krakenbone sword. Amazing model even if he doesn’t come with a Thunder Hammer.
