MooFool List

So I finally decided on a list that I like and works well with my play style. After some bad results with shootying lists at Tournaments such as Warpcon 22 and Itzacon, I have decided to go back to what I did best with for MooFool and the new season. The list I am bringing is the following:

Mephiston

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Extra Armour, Blood Talons

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Extra Armour, Blood Talons

5 Assault Terminators w/ 5 Hammers

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

10 Scouts w/ Combi-Melta, 9 Sniper Rifles, Camo Cloaks

Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Assault Cannons, Searchlight

Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Assault Cannons, Searchlight


Total : 1850
So, the list. Fast and Aggressive. My kind of style. The list brings quite solid close combat ability with double Blood Talon Dreadnoughts, Mephiston and the Assault Terminators. Psychic defence is also brought with Mephiston which in today's Meta is something you really need to have in your list as a Marine player. Stopping powers such as Hammerhand, Force Weapons and Jaws can prove invaluable.


The list also has some decent anti-tank with 3 Twin-Linked Lascannons on the Razorbacks, Melta's on the Dreadnoughts and Scouts, plenty of strength 10 and 8 and of course the Gunships themselves, sporting 4 Strength 8, AP1 one shot rockets, twin linked multi melta and a twin linked assault cannon each.


The list also has decent scoring with 4-5 scoring units. One to two of those units almost always having a 2+ cover save when they go to ground.


The Cleanse mission should also give me no hassle with the speed of my scoring units and the ability to outflank with one of them. The ravens are each carrying 2 points worth, along with 1 from themselves. To anyone not in the know with this ETC mission, the objective is to control the most quarters with each unit counting as a certain amount of points. Scoring units are worth 2 each, other units are worth 1 and dedicated transports are worth 0.


Will be getting a good bit of practice in with the list before MooFool to try and work out the kinks in it.


Thanks for reading all. Any thoughts?

  1. Tres cool list, vicious in attack but very risky if those Ravens go down early!

    That Cleanse mission sounds cool and outflanking the combat squaded Scout Squads could be nasty, 1 token combi melta though? :D

    Would you not consider taking one or two pairs of claws in the TH/SS squad?

  2. Dropping one/two of the hammers is not worth it without FC from priests imo. Having all hammers is also better when facing things like MC's/Thunderwolves/Mephs/Dreads.

    Also as to the Combi-Melta on the scouts, they can only have 1 and there was no better place to put the points then on them.
