There are other damage dealing units that have shown up in lists, such as Sternguard Veterans, and Indomitor Kill Teams that are definitely worth considering, but have not shown to have the pedigree of the above. The Gladiator Lancer is the vehicle that has popped up the most, as the most reliable anti armour option available to the faction, and is definitely a unit to consider. Aggressor Squad • Desolation Squad • Devastator Squad • Hellblaster Squad • Eradicator Squad • Eliminator Squad • Infernus Squad • Centurion Devastator Squad as well as the return of some old favourites such as the Ork Warboss on Bike – looks like the Meks have finally fixed his ride. Waaagh! Deathwatch Veterans, 4 Frag Cannon, 4 Deathwatch Thunder Hammer, 2 Astartes Shield, Xenophase Blade, Long Vigil Melee Weapon

Tremor Shells – 1CP –Use when a THUNDERFIRE CANNON shoots; until the end of the phase it has -1 to wound, but if it hits a unit that is not TITANIC and cannot FLY then until the start of your next Movement phase that unit has half movement and -2 to advance and charge rolls. A slightly simpler effect than it used to have, but also finally worded properly so the second half of it actually works. Thunderfire Cannons aren’t the terrors they used to be but having exactly one to sit behind terrain and blast this at things isn’t the worst plan possible. B By leaning hard into the Plasma options this army will seriously shred elite infantry armies. Just make sure you’ve got those auras nearby to allow for re-rolls for your plasma. You’re going to need it. I’m pleased we sprinkled in some Ravenwing and Deathwing units. If you wanted to completely redo this list and lean hard into one or the other you totally can. This list is designed to allow a new player to dabble with those options without hard committing to either. They may want to do that later on once they get more experience with the army.The degrading profile hurts while none of the weapon options are punchy enough, meaning it's flimsy and weak, rather than being a glass cannon. It's also too expensive, meaning it's use as a cheap unit for secondary scoring/board control/screen clearing etc. doesn't math out.

The Executioner trades some of the transport capacity for even heavier weapons. Only 6 Primaris Marines or 3 Mk X Gravis armored ones fit inside. Again, look at that massive weapon suite. Transporting troops in style is just a bonus. This is less of an analogy and more of a algebra equation. But based on what the Hammerfall Bunker does it’s hard to argue what it’s supposed to be the Primaris Replacement of. The thing is, the Bunker is really only a visual replacement – it can’t deepstrike and has no carrying capacity. It’s also immobile but has Line of Sight based missiles. So…yeah. At this point, I’m pretty confident that the Hammerfall underwent quite a few rules adjustments before it got the final approval – and at that point the model had already been produced. The new weapon is a macro plasma incinerator, shooting a D6 Strength 8 shots with Damage 2 and Blast, expressly designed to destroy squads of heavy infantry. Since this plasma weapon is mounted on a vehicle, unmodified rolls of ‘1’ only deal a mortal wound instead of destroying the model. Shooting the macro plasma incinerator may be a valid choice for the increased Strength and Damage. Just keep your mighty Techmarine close to buff that right out. There are thirteen Chapters with Chapter Tactics listed in the Space Marines codex. These traits apply to all units except SERVITOR and BEAST units. The traits are as follows: Dark AngelsForged in Battle: Each time a unit shoots or fights, you can re-roll one wound roll, and opponents cannot re-roll wound rolls against you (as of the Balance Dataslate). A solid tactic still, making your weapons a little more reliable and your models a little tougher to dakka off the board. Designed as a heavy armor killer, Gladiator Lancers mount a laser destroyer in their turret. This weapon fires 2 Strength 10 shots for d3+3 damage each. Even Knights and Superheavy vehicles will suffer wounds on a 3+. Let’s not think about hitting a character with it. Necron Immortals may be bigger and more heavily armed and armoured than Necron Warriors , but they’ve often been overlooked compared to their more numerous cousins on account of their high points cost. No longer! Coming in at a mere 4 points more per model than Necron Warriors, regardless of what gun they carry, an army centred around a solid core of Immortals with super-zappy tesla carbines is now a perfectly competitive option. Wraithguard and Wraithblades The new books are scheduled to be available in October, so it won’t be much longer until Games Workshop’s flagship army gets even more options and units. Maybe Cawl is right after all. Either way Primaris players should be happy with the Heavy Intercessors and their ability to absolutely slaughter other power armor units, the boosted melta rules, and the speedy punch offered by the Storm Speeders. Personally I’m even more excited by the new Crusade rules, including the option to take a gravely wounded character and inter them in a dreadnought. If this is the level of quality we can expect from future books every player should be excited.

There are a few core combinations for Deathwatch, that usually revolve around combining multiple overlapping buffs to make any unit do an absurd amount of damage in the right situation. The only Dedicated Transport available, the Impulsor only carries 6 Primaris models i.e. a 5 man squad and a character and cannot transport Mk X Gravis armored models. However, with the Assault Vehicle ability, Impulsors may move and disembark their unit, unlike many other transports. So, unlike the Repulsors, troops may disembark and charge after the Impulsor has completed a Normal Move. This list has solid core of Dark Angels units and a mean gunline it can setup. It’s still got a little mobility with the faster elements and don’t be afraid to “deepstrike” in those Deathwing Terminators either. Just try not to leave them unsupported. Don’t forget you can carve-up this list as needed for any detachment requirements you might need to hit.Stoic. Units with this ability add 1 to their Leadership characteristic. This is just not something Marines need. F These units are your bread and butter. The goal is to be strong enough to work without Oath of Moment, and to become monstrous when given it. Captain • Lieutenant • Chapter Ancient • Bladeguard Ancient • Company Ancient • Chapter Champion • Company Champion Oath of Moment is a limited use resource, not an army wide buff: Only so many units in your army can have Oath of Moment be part of their plan. It’s unlikely that many games can be won only dealing with 5 units (or 6 with Tome of Ectoclades), and at some point you need a plan that doesn’t involve it to deal damage. Do not think of every unit through the lens of Oath of Moment. Dark Angels Primaris upgrade sprues and 1x Dark Angels transfer sheet (not worth points but worth mentioning)
