Word Bearers 2,000pt List: 2,000 points
This list is designed to take on all comers, and any comments or criticisms would be greatly appreciated. I’m very very inexperienced in 40k matters.

LR Sppt Unit of 7x Havocs: Infiltrate or Tank Hunters. 2x Lascannon, Missile Launcher, Autocannon [229pts] – I’m still not sure whether to choose
Infiltrate or Tank Hunters.
Hopefully, with 2 units of Furies and the configuration of the Raptor squad, two CSM units with Infiltrate, Deep Striking Terminators and maybe Obliterators with a Teleport Homer, most of my army can (and probably should) get in my opponents face pretty quickly.
I’ve seen Raptors give 3x Meltaguns and Furious Charge on a number of lists. Surely to get the best from Furious Charge, you need most of the unit to be pistol armed, and that’s why I’ve chosen a lighter load-out for them. Though 3 Meltaguns can do nasty damage, and are Assault weapons, with the extra Initiative and Strength, I’d prefer to be charging with multi-weapon attacks.
Giving MoCU to the Raptors also seems to be an extremely logical choice, but I think they’ll work best with Furious Charge. As I want them to have Infiltrate, this means they can’t have a Chaos Mark, which is a pain!
Using some Daemons seems quite appealing, but judging from the amount of lists that are posted, which don’t contain any Deamons, I guess they
ain’t that good? Still I need to see for myself, though any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Should I lose a CSM to upgrade the Lt. to a Lord?
Thanks,
Lord Ramon
