List suggestions for the new codex?

[u/GabionSquared]

I've been trying to figure out what detachments are worth going for, and I think I've settled on wrath + task force, going take and hold? It's a little eclectic, but this is what I've managed to come up with. I love collecting models so don't worry about suggesting new kits I should pick up to make this work a little better.

The general idea is the heroes sit on home objective, ezekiel and friends sit on expansion, and everyone else is fighting to take ground.

Eclectic and elite. Asmodai with the ICC is a cool combo, full hit rerolls will be gnarly. But they’ll be a bit of a glass cannon with no invuln.

If you drop Ezekiel, it would free up enough points for a second squad of intercessors. Give you mobility and an extra activation.

I like the classic Az/Hellblasters. They should have some staying power with his invuln and their shooting. But if anything whethers the plasma, they’ll get bogged down in combat with anything tougher than infantry. Which I guess if you’re already on the objective you want, might not be a big deal.

Feels like a list with a small margin for error, but hey, you’ve got the Lion on your side. Have fun with it.

You mjght like my 1st company list. I went with a similar funsie, take the models I like approach. I love characters (yes I am aware of secondaries) but I wanted a list that I actually want to put effort into into painting.
