Below is the list I took, now, I know this isnt a great list by any standards it's focussed on shooting stuff, without taking Guilliman (everyone was doing it so I didnt want to!)
We didn't have the Codex so everyone was using an index at the time we did this as well.
Now excuses out of the way here is the lists:
Initial List
Army Faction: Imperium
Command Points: 4
Spear Head Detachment - Keyword: Ultramarines
HQ
Captain Kragath (74), Power Sword (4), Combi-Plasma (15) = 93 (Warlord) - 4 points saved now
Primaris Lieutenant Hojan (70), Power Sword (4) = 74
Elites
Sternguard Veteran Squad, 10 Marines (160), Plasma Gun x 2 (26), Special Issue Boltgun x 8 (24) = 210 - 32 points saved
Troops
Tactical Squad, 10 Marines (130), Flamer (9), Combi Flamer (11) = 150 - 6 points saved
Fast Attack
Inceptor Squad, 3 Inceptors (135), Assault Bolter x 6 (90) = 225 - 90 points saved
Heavy Support
Predator (102), Predator Autocannon (49), Heavy Bolter x2 (40) = 171 - 21 points saved
Devastator Squad, 10 Marines (130), Missile Launcher x2 (50), Heavy Bolter x 2 (20), Combi-Plasma (15) = 215 - 14 points saved
Devastator Squad, 10 Marines (130), Missile Launcher x2 (50), Heavy Bolter x 2 (20), Combi-Plasma (15) = 215- 14 points saved
Hellblaster Squad, 5 Marines (100), Plasma Incinerator x 5 (90) = 190 - 25 points saved
Landraider (239), Twin Lascannon x 2 (100), Twin Heavy Bolter (17) = 356 - 59 points saved
Hellblaster Squad, 5 Marines (100), Plasma Incinerator x 5 (90) = 190 - 25 points saved
Landraider (239), Twin Lascannon x 2 (100), Twin Heavy Bolter (17) = 356 - 59 points saved
Dedicated Transports
Drop Pod (103), Stormbolter (2) = 105 - 40 points saved
Detachment Total = 2000 points
Army Total: 2000/2000 pts (new total 1699 / 2000)
Sounds nice and fluffy does it! It didnt (unsurprisingly) do well in a Stormraven heavy environment, or against the Ad Mech or Chaos I faced!
Now however, this list would only cost me 1699 points, meaning I have saved over 300 points! Thats enough to take two Intercessor Squads, and a new HQ to get me a Battalion. Or to bring in another Landraider (keeping to the theme of this list).
So with that in mind, and based off a few things I know now vs then, here is how i would re-arrange / tweak this list - trying to keep it with the same sort of models though (remember here not looking at making this game breaking or anything, just looking to expand on the list I was going to take!)
Battalion
HQ's
Captain Kragath (74), Power Sword (4), Combi-Plasma (11) = 89 (Warlord)
Primaris Lieutenant Hojan (70), Power Sword (4) = 74
Troops
Tactical Squad, 10 Marines (130), Flamer (9), Combi Flamer (8) = 144
Tactical Squad, 10 Marines (130), Heavy Bolter (10), Plasma Gun (11), Combi-Flamer (8) = 159
Intercessor Squad, 10 Intercessors (170), Bolt Rifles (0) = 170
Fast Attack
Inceptors, 3 Inceptors (75), 6 Assault Bolters (60) = 135
Elites
Sternguard Veteran Squad, 10 Veterans (140), Plasma Gun x 2 (22), Special Issue Boltgun x 8 (16) = 178
Dedicated Transport
Drop Pod (63), Stormbolter (2) = 65
Spearhead Detachment
HQ
Primaris Librarian (93), Force Sword (8) = 101
Heavy Support
Landraider (200), Twin Lascannon x 2 (80), Twin Heavy Bolter (17) = 297
Predator (90), Predator Autocannon (40), Heavy Bolter x 2 (20) = 150
Hellblaster Squad (90), Plasma Incinerator x 5 (75) = 165
Devastator Squad (65), Rocket Launcher x 4, Combi-Plasma
Devastator Squad (65), Heavy Bolter x 4, Combi-Plasma
Total Points: 1999
A lot of drops so unlikely to get that +1 to go first, but a very target rich enviroment, the Sternguard & Inceptors operate in the backfield for disruption and Objective grabs, while the rest of the army uses its firepower to whittle down the enemy.
In theory!
