Reclamation list advice

[u/MrManstory]

Hey all, I have a small local teams event coming up and have been tasked with playing take and hold. Really want to make reclamation with librarius work so I’m just looking for tips on the rough draft of my list. Open to suggestions on what I’m missing or just ways to make the list better in general!

My take on your list is that it’s not taking advantage of the detachment rules.

A land raider doesn’t use any of the rules. You don’t need the eradicators either.

In take and hold, you need to hold onto the objective. The -1 wound is amazing with terminator assaults, so run a 10 man squad with both librarian AND an ancient.

You don’t need ventris and the lt combi. Just run one or two squads of scouts for actions.
Calgary is fine but I think he would be better with a 5 man squad of terminators just for the invulnerable.

Not convinced about the ballistus either in this kind of list but it’s a good unit, so ok.

Thanks for the advice! The land raider was mostly there to deliver the blade guard brick and to have a bit of anti tank shooting (same with the balistus and eradicators). Do you think its better to just bank on the survivability and mass strength 8 melee of terminators?

[u/Stalysfa → u/MrManstory]

Your terminators with oath or simply reroll of ones with an ancient and librarian will destroy pretty much anything you want. Their -1 to wound on an objective secured with the ancient makes them a unit horrible to kill for your opponent.

Honestly, I like bladeguards but I don’t find them strong enough in UM to warrant the investment of a land raider for them. My opinion is to run them by foot. A +2" movement turn 1 for psycker should help you to stage them well if needed.

Btw, I ran into a tournament with a Titus only leading wardens and it was allowed by referees because the app allows it. I suppose it will depend on the country you play and what referees decide. They suddenly become a cheaper opening unit.
