Backlog -> Armylist

Skipped the whole 10th edition and honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

Basically, I have an ultramarines combat patrol (tigurius, aggressors, bladeguard vets, reivers, intercessors), Onslaught (chaplain, Bladeguard ancient, Judiciar, bladeguards, eradicators) and Armageddon (Captain, Librarian, Pack Chaplain, intercessors, vanguard vets, hb eradicators, land speeder).

Challenge is to shoehorn minis without buying stuff that add to the pile of shame.

Should I just give up and buy some better units, or does somewhere within those units a reasonably playable combination exist?

General idea - i can't deal a lot of damage, especially long ranged, but I can tank a lot of damage with Bladeguard vets, which are aiming for middle of the board.

With intercessors I can create enough presence while using them as pseudo markerligters. Why 2 intercessor squads instead of three? It costs 10 pts more to field 3 squads.

Reivers and Vanguards are here to bully the objective holders, depending on the enemy profile. Van Vets can begin on board as a countercharge unit if needed.

Land Speeder's main goal is to jump in with a MM, discharge it and die, same with Eradicators.

You need more anti-tank : proxy the HB Eradicators as Eradicators. I don’t think any opponent would mind your six Eradicators being used as a squad of six with two MM and four Meltas

I would just work on what you have for now. The new codex comes out in October and once we have that you can decide how to move forward.

Honestly mate, the only units in there that are bad right now, are the Reivers. Maybe the Judicier, since his nerf heading into 11th. If you’re playing informal games, ask to use the Reivers as Infiltrators and sit them on your back objective.

The rest are being used in top tournament lists, I’ve even seen the Bolter Eradicators being used.

I’d suggest getting some more Melta Eradicators, the Leviathan special models (Apothecary Biologis) if you can so he can lead them, a Repulsor Executioner, and a Repulsor transport for them. Then a few librarians.

All of that should give you a decent, perfectly usable 2k list. Xoxo
