I was just messing around with points at work and came up with a list like this. Opinions and you can give me honest ones.
Deamon Princem Deamonic speed, mutation, strength, resilence, spikey bits, undivided, 2 CCW (142pts)
10 Marines Undivided, bolters, las/plas (175)
10 Marines undivided, Bolters, las/plas (175)
10 Marines Undivided, Bolters, 2 plas (170)
10 Marines Undivided, Bolters, 2 plas (170)
3 Obliterators (210)
10 Havocs Undivided, bolters, 4 Heavy bolters (210)
10 Havocs undivided, bolters, 4 Heavy bolters (210)
10 Havocs Undivided, bolters, 4 heavy bolters (210)
10 Havocs Undivided, bolters, 4 Heavy bolters (210)
(1882)
I can play with the points to lessen and increase the points but this is supposed to be like the "Trenchers" Marines that fight at the front, alot of anti infantry with some heavy fire power to stop tanks. Lead by a deamonic mechanical Lord. not many vehicles.

cool if repetitive army, my guard would not like it one bit but there are armies that would do well against it. (Need more chimeras and maybe the guard would do ok) Do you own that many heavy bolters? or the 80 marines  Tell me when you got this painted up and the ultras will come. Once you clear out the DP most other CCs will be in my favor. (assuming i dont get shot dead to much) |

I like the idea of a repetitive army tournament, 2 on 2 with a partner pick at random. That would be real war-like. Objectives would be a problem with 4 squads of Havoc's that would loose to many shots if they had to move a lot. Change one Havoc squad to 4 flamers and another to 4 plasma guns. Take squads of 9 men instead of 10 and use the points for Aspiring Champions with power weapons or powerfists, and only Aspiring Champions get pistols. Daemon Prince seems out of place with the theme, but if something move with him as cavalry, it would work better. Add sweeping advance and the crossfire rule to THE 4th ADDITION, just for fun. CIAO!  |

I'm all for theme armies, and this one looks like a nice one. I would suggest some flamers to clear out enemies getting too close, but not too many. Maybe just a pair.
This could get boring if you get in a slugging match with another shooting army. Would be interesting to watch against a mob assault. Very movie style with the entrenched defenders holding of the slavering hordes. A litle wierd in that the defenders are evil, but hey, what fun is life without a little irony.

I think i will add some flamers that seem more in theme.
Tommy:
I dont have 80 models...yet but im getting close. Yes I do own that many heavy bolters. (How many do you see in my other armies?) Ive been saving them heheeh
Yeah its repetitive and most likely boring. But IW are all about that. Marines, Marines, marines.
I will work with the list more...The other option is to build my fallen Angels list which I will post later.

that last army cares not about escallation. Its strong enough but Iron warrior you would be bored fast.
I can also see the sad face on the lord, who misses having a tank or dready.

Hmm, Im trying to figure out what I should do for my next army. Im sitting on $70 credit from winning tournaments. Ive pretty much did everything with my Iron warriors from All Assualty in rhinos, to the fair and balanced...only thing I havent done is the all infantry, but your right it will eventually become boring to play.
I have no will to build my Fallen Army as its just another generic chaos army with little to no fluff for it. I have 2 other chaos armies sitting in the back round that im none to pleased with. Ones a gimick army and one is a 1000 sons one that I dont like too much.
I have a guard army which is blah-ish. And tried to do something diffrent with and its seems to not work very well. I am tweeking something with it to see if it works...
I have a nicely painted ork army which is random, unreliable when you need it to do things. I was thinking about trying a speed freaks list with it....but they may not be supported in the future...
I like to do something no one has done but its coming down to well...its been done or it may not be supported soon.
I want my next army to be Competitive AND Nicely painted...I went from a Competitive, Crappy painted army to a nicely painted, underpowered army...I want a nice medium. And I would like to stay away from Marines if I can but I just cant find an armie that suits my style....Im lookimg at a Mechenized guard list now....but who knows...I may find things wrong with it too....
Guess Im in a 40k depression...

To be honest Mr. Warrior you have done many armys of diffrent theme but none of them are Bright and Good even the guard.
Perhapse you need to think about what your "paladin with holy avenger" army is.
Thats usually space marines tau or one of the _____hunters
my $0.02 on the depression.

Did you notice you can't take a entire deathwing army anymore? Same with ravenwing. Unless I missed a rule somewhere .... kinda sucks, you still need to take 2 tactical squads.

I think the master of the deathwing turns terminators into troop choices...

Yea, Belial allows you to take terminators as troops, as does the Sammael of the Ravenwing to bikes.
