So what do we see? Most importantly, we have 90 marines and 1 dreadnought on the board. That is an immense amount of bodies. It works out to be 140 wounds, plus an additional 8 wounds from our Ven Dread and 9 from our HQs. This makes it incredibly hard for your opponent to deal with and they will be hard pressed to destroy all of your models. We have deep striking disruption with the Reivers, long-range firepower from the Ven Dreadnought and Hellblasters, mid-range objective holding with the Intercessors, and aggressive advancement with our Crusader squads. While the list doesn't have a super large amount of fire support, it is often enough due to the disruptive capabilities of the Reivers. Add in the "Wisdom of the Ancients" stratagem and you have some pretty reliable shooting. Two full squads of them is nothing to sniff at, especially when you consider combat squad and our chapter tactics. Is the list competitive? 50/50. But it is incredibly satisfying to play nonetheless.
