I've always loved the look of Sternguard, but I've often been disappointed by their damage output.

With the Librarius detachment, I found the Librarian with Fusillade very interesting for Anti-Monster/Vehicle 4+, Sustained Hits 1, AP-1, and a 4++ invulnerable save. Everything Sternguard needed!

Now, with the updated enhancement, I prefer to put it on regular Intercessors.

Any ideas on how to use Sternguard now?

Ps: pic of my lovely Sternguard

GW PLEASE!

Just curious which units people opt to go with when utilizing Uriels DS ability. Personally, Infernus or Flame Aggressors stand out for their potential Damage Output (especially when in Firestorm), but I could see others like Sternguard making great use of his ability. Appreciate all the feedback on this.

Some of my Ultramarin-ified Dark angels and Space wolves terminators

Didn't really vibe with the base he gets in the kit, decided I'd throw my own base on there. Pretty standard treatment for my marines except i typically don't put trophies on them (save for some of my tanks)

Once painted it'll have tundra tufts and model snow on there.

4th Company Ancient, Learchus Abantes from the Graham McNiell novels. He served as 4th Company Captain for a short time while Ventris was on his quest before the Primarchs return.

I haven't finished but I tried my hand at freehand and.... idk lol

Any paint advice to make this better or push it beyond?

Absolutely awesome minis to build and paint. I can’t wait to put them on the table!

Titus +10pts (90->100)
Cato Sicarius +10pts (95->105)
Chief librarian Tigurius -10pts (95->85)
Calgar in terminator armour +15pts (140->155)
Roboute Guilliman +15pts (340->355)
Uriel Ventris +10pts (95->105)
VICTRIX HONOUR GUARD 6 models +10 now 230pts, from your second unit of victrix 6 models 250pts and banner of macragge wargear now costs 15pts.
Wardens of ultramar +10pts (110->120)
Also worth mentioning Repulsor Executioners now cost 255pts with Heavy laser destroyer costing 10pts more, the third Repulsor executioner now costs 275pts.
Personally I believe this nerfs are a little too much? Rep ex now kinda feels like a glass cannon with a 3+ save against opponents with anti tank for this costs

~10 months in the hobby. Finally got these truly finished. That last 15% took way longer than I expected but I’m happy with them now.

So far in the hobby, I have bought two boxes: the Combat Patrol Starter Set and Armageddon. My current army list is Ancient, Captain, Captain in Terminator Armor, Chaplain with Jump Pack, Librarian, Intercessor Squad, Eradicator Squad with Heavy Bolters, Infernus Squad, Land Speeder, Terminator Squad, and Vanguard Veteran Squad with Jump Packs. This comes out to exactly 1000 pts, but I think it might be too character-focused. Eventually I want to expand to an army with Calgar, Titus, and maybe Gulliman. I want to know what some good ideas would be to add to my 1000pt army to make it a better start to a future 2000pt army.

So with the new points changes cato and 6 victrix with champ and banner is 360 points. The exact same as 10 assault terminators with TH&SS. Calgar can lead both squads so i am just comparing both squads.

Victrix and cato deal more damage on average due to higher amount of attacks. Str is lower but the banner can help with that once. Termies do have dev wounds but only 3 attacks per termies is not much. Victrix also hit on a 2+ while termies hit on a 3+

Termies are more defensive with higher wound pool of 40 instead of the victrix guard 23 wounds. Termies have a 4+ invul while victrix have a -1 to wound. the invul will only help against ap 3 or higher.

Cato does give the victrix a lot more tricks with a flat 6 inch reactive move and heroic intervention for cheaper. He can either reactive move away to get out of charge range or at least make it a lot harder. he could also reactive move closer so he is within 6 inches of somebody to charge even if they didn't charge for only 1cp. Termies can potentially battleshock opponents while in melee in both player turns.

Also foot print of termies is a lot bigger and thus harder to hide or be able to put them all on an objective for cover.

Nerfs all round the board for us - thoughts?
