Army List Thoughts:
This list doesnt have a lot of ranged firepower, which is a far cry from the list I used at the Heat 2 (which was just sit back and shoot).
In missions where I need to score objectives at the end of the game it requires a very different method of playing (for me at least) where you need to hide and delay units arriving - which if nothing else is good practise for the Beta rules that are coming!
It also requires good target selection, if my opponent makes a mistake here I need to capitalise on it, if I make a mistake it will be costly.
It is fun to play as its involved in all the phases of the game, and for some reason people always forget how a single dice roll can cost you a 90 point model, so they always worry about killing them.
As you can see from the pictures, I used Ultramarines, but am borrowing some Salamanders for the event itself.. their special rule is outstanding and unlike the Ultramarines one is always useful.
