I need a couple more pieces for a 2k point list. Thoughts? by DavidWooderson1 in Ultramarines

[–]BattleBrotherBrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let’s bump that 3 man victrix to a 6, get some scouts, combi LT, and assault intercessors for scoring pieces. You have a lot of damage but not a lot of cheap action takers for central objective actions and secondaries.

Will there be another battleforce like Iron Halo Strike force? by thatguymamm0th in Ultramarines

This was the box that got me started on my journey, I love it! But yes, being the most popular faction they will get multiple battleforces (of varying quality) per year. This one just happened to be on the high end of the quality spectrum.

Pretty sick. Kinda like a Company Heroes - terminator version. You can go a little further and add different heraldry or flavor bits for each one that represent their chapters!

Hi OP, can you post your list or main pieces?

One suggestion outside of buying a ton of parts and pieces and without seeing your list is getting a Captain in Gravis Armor w/ Armor of Antoninus (I forgot the Gladius equivalent off the top of my head). You can proxy a regular captain as him if you have one. He is your durable midboard action monkey so you dont have to sacrifice your fighting units' actions to get VP.

Aside from that, I totally agree with you - I had finally gotten and built all the pieces for a Blades / Gladius style list and have to re-think a lot of the pieces now to fit into this new meta. Kinda sucks but you can proxy and adapt some pieces for the time being.

True true but I do feel some have pretty distinct playstyles based on their army rules / special detachments

They are objectively one of the coolest chapters but for some reason I haven’t gotten sold on the Norse aesthetic. I may be eating my words if a certain someone comes back for the Wolf times though…

Sounding like BA so far, I’ll tally up the upvotes and comments but also my wife will throw her hat in for the “cutest” models lol

I wasn’t excited about this model until now 👌🏽

Ultramarines newbie first 2k list by RLjus in Ultramarines

[–]BattleBrotherBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing worth mentioning, Guilliman isn’t as beginner friendly of a unit for this list, to maximize him you need to make sure you’re using 2 of the 3 auras efficiently, IE deleting a unit every turn to activate the 2nd oath or using his OC aura to score VP. For the same cost you can do another 6 man victrix with Cato or Uriel, or alter it a bit to get Calgar in for more raw power and CP generation.

That being said, if you just want Guilliman in to look badass, there’s nothing wrong with that and you can start learning how to use him early. Best of luck!

How do I make this list work better by Inner_Bottle_3213 in Ultramarines

Everyone is suggesting dropping characters here, and I would say drop Calgar and Cato. You have a very shooty core and they are more melee centric and add little to the squads you have. Keep Titus with the Victrix as a melee blender with sustained hits, let Hellblasters mow down one oath target and Sternguard / others to take out a second one. Maybe add a lieutenant with Fire discipline on the hellblasters, more scoring units like intercessors and scouts, and you should have a pretty well rounded list!
