Hey guys, I've created two potential army lists I was thinking of fielding for fairly competitive gameplay. Let me know which one you think would be better!

175 1x Daemon Prince (mark of nurgle, wings, warptime)

180 5x Terminators (1 champion /w power fist, 2 combi weps)
110 1x Dreadnought (autocannon)

256 7x plaguemarines (1 champion /w power wep, plasma gun, melta gun) + Rhino /w bolter
256 7x plaguemarines (1 champion /w power wep, plasma gun, melta gun) + Rhino /w bolter
294 9x Thousand sons (1 sorc /w doombolt, 8 rubrics) + Rhino /w bolter

75 1x obliterator
75 1x obliterator
75 1x obliterator

----
1496

For this list I was also considering dropping two TS rubrics and a terminator for an additional obliterator. (This would also free up an additional point so I could add a personal icon to one of the squads)


175 1x Daemon Prince (mark of nurgle, wings, warptime)

150 4x Terminators (1 champion /w power fist, 2 combi weps)
110 1x Dreadnought (autocannon)

256 7x plaguemarines (1 champion /w power wep, plasma gun, melta gun, personal icon) + Rhino /w bolter
256 7x plaguemarines (1 champion /w power wep, plasma gun, melta gun) + Rhino /w bolter
248 8x zerkers (1 champion /w pfist) + Rhino /w bolter

150 2x obliterator
150 2x obliterator

1500


The list with the thousand sons I was thinking would provide great anti-marine capabilities. Alternatively, the zerkers in the second list provide some better CC capabilities + the additional obliterator.

I'll deal with list one.

HQ: Perfect

Elites: Dread is poor. Not too good a weapon and unreliable. A better bet is an AC/2LC Pred. Better armour, more guns and less likely to throw its rattle out the pamb. Termies are ok, I would drop one to free up points for the pred. Champ upgrade too can go for more combiplasma.

Troops: PMs have poor initiative so take PF rather than PW. Never mix special weapons. Make one squad armed with 2 plasma and the other 2 melta. 1K sons are fine. Combimeltas on rhinos are good to help open up transports.

Heavy: Fine but a little dangerous in kill point missions.
