So first time writing up a 30k Ultramarines list.
Need to start getting the games in, but this is pretty much an infantry heavy list till I start getting a few more vehicles next year!
All the detail after the jump!
HQ:
Legion Praetor - Cataphrattci Armour, Combi Weapon + Lightning Claw
Legion Centurion - Combi Weapon + Power Sword
Elites:
Legion Terminator Squad - Cataphrattci Terminator Armour, Plasma Blaster, Grenade Harness
Contemptor Talon
Contemptor w/ Kheres Assault Cannon
Contemptor w/ Kheres Assault Cannon
Troops:
Legion Tactical Squad - 20 Marines, Sergeant with Combi-Weapon
Legion Tactical Squad - 20 Marines, Sergeant with Combi-Weapon
Legion Support Squad - 5 Marines, Flamers x 4, Sergeant with Combi-Weapon
Legion Support Squad - 5 Marines, Plasma Gun x 4, Sergeant with Combi-Weapon
Heavy Support
Legion Devastator Squad - 7 Marines, Rocket Launchers x 7
Legion Devastator Squad - 7 Marines, Heavy Bolter x 6, Sergeant with Nuncio- Vox, Chainsword, Combi-Weapon
Total: 1942
I am sure I can find something to spend the 58 / 57 points on.
Ultimately this list is something that I can write based on what i currently have, and outside of a Drop pod, I don't have any 30k vehicles (yet)... although I am looking at the Malcador / Sciaran's.
However in hindsight this list has a couple of big blob Troops, some smaller support squads to deal with a variety of threats, the Devastators for some long range firepower, and the terminators and Contemptors to try and draw some fire as well.
But the main thing its missing is the ability to capitalise on the Ultramarines special rule Interlocking Tactics.
Thats where the Ultramrines get to re-roll 1's when wounding or armour penetration, if the unit has already been successfully hit by something in the army with the same rule.
The best way to benefit this is as JabberJabber said, would be to go for MSU where possible to maximise the units that get the rule, and increase your chances of getting those successful hits.
