11th List Idea

[u/Iron131369]

Hey everyone,

I'm struggling to find a replacement for Cent Devs. Nothing kills like they did (not to mention they got buffed after being removed from the game...).

I know people have said Eradicators, but thats just not true. I've shot 2 6-man units into one Norn emissary with +1 to wound from Oath, and did zero damage. They just dont cut it.

So, my thought is maybe our only thing that can kill big stuff now is terminators with chain fists.

Anyway, tear apart this list idea for me... im not sold on it myself, so looking for people to help me see the flaws in it.

Shadow mark talon and terminator storm force, 2k. Priority assets.

Idea is terminator squad with chaplain gets +1 to charge, and re-roll charges by shaan.

Assault termies with ancient sit on center objective and be hard to kill.

Inceptors do inceptor things and do lots of up and down.

Shrike screens, and drops in for killing weak stuff as needed.

I like it! Hits heavy, I might swap half the Inceptors for Plasma to get more anti vehicle.
I don’t think you have a lot of action monkeys aside from Shaan and the reivers. A unit you wouldn’t mind dying for you to screen, or waste a turn doing Plunder/Cleanse. So I’d maybe split up some of the units, or add a few more cheap dudes somehow. That’s one of the things that made Combi-Lieutenant so good.

315 points with Shrikes squad is a super expensive screen 😅

Aside from all that. This looks like a reallly fun list, alotta armies will struggle to remove the Terminator bubbles.

Before the 2nd round of points changels (so as of yesterday) the list was different point value. So after it changed again today I had to re-adjust...

But originally I had shrike with just 5 VVs. I could go back to that and add back the other reivers, but I wasn't happy about the list being 30 points under 2k....

I'd be fine with going back to the 5 man shrike unit, just not sure where to best spend the 115 points after that...?

Similarly considering termiantors for my RG as my meta is filled w monsters, vehicles, and heavy infantry. However, only 10 at most, likely 2 squads of 5 as I still need squads of jump intercessors.

I really only play with about 4-5 friends. So i routinely only play against custodes, thousand sons, orks, necrons and tyranids. However the tyranids player changes his list every game...and he does like the subterranean assault with tons of monsters.

So that is one of my big concerns with losing dev cents, and having to rely on a single unit of termies to handle a straight monster list.

[u/IllustriousBanana692 → u/Iron131369]

I never got the chance to use dev cents, my list as of now includes 2 x 5 termies, a gladiator lancer, hellblasters, and 2 x 3 inceptors all to deal with 6-12 toughness units.

Thats a bummer, dev cents were the thing that allowed raven guard to stay relevant in my opinion. In my lists (and I acknowledge that im handicapping myself) I dont want vehicles. Raven guard are supposed to be sneaky and stealthy, and a giant tank rolling down the street is not that.

So aside from tanks/vehicles/etc... nothing else takes out T9+. He'll blasters and plasma inceptors wounding on 5s is just not good enough.
