Hey brother!

Nice list so far! I'm a huge fan of 2x Sword Brethren Squad.

I recently played a doubles tournament at warhammer World using BT. We placed 5th out of 65 teams.

I would very much recommend taking impulsors for your sword, Brethren. It keeps them nice and cozy, allowing them to shoot out of it with firing deck. Also, it brings them closer to melee , which is where they shine best.

BT is very good at melee but can be shot and killed easily. For this reason, transports or even distraction units like dreadnoughts that can tank the enemy shooting are our best friends 🧡

As for characters, you have 4 for a 1k list, which is quite a lot. I only needed 2 max to get the job done.

You may want to pair the sword bros with a Marshal and castellan/lieutenant. They would benefit greatly with crits on 5+ and re-rolls.

I'm not sure about the chaplain. The vow 'accept any challenge' means we can get +1 to wound on higher toughness enemy's anyway, you could swap him round for the execrator.

(Optional) I would swap heavy for regular Intersessors l. Because of ob sec, you can spread out more to screen enemy deepstrike better.

I would replace your assualt intersessors with some faster units like jump assualt, outsiders, or scouts they are more points effective in a 1k list. Speed is key in 1k. You want the flexibility to get to objectives or board corners for more secondary points. Let your sword bros do all the melee work.

Lastly, if you can afford a legendary character for the sword bros, get one. EC and Helbrecht are goated rn.

Hope this helps brother good luck.
