Warhammer 40K Tabletop XXIX: Ro, Ro, Ro Your Boute

[Renegade Paladin]

At 2500 points, it could work.
Especially if you are IG, who are not alien at all to the 30k setting.
Whoever, point that 30k marines are NOT 40k marines. there will be rules to be learned in order to have a proper game.

Luckily, you know is legion, so it cuts down on your learning needs, as you can just focus specifically on them.

...

So overall, you need to build your army as if you are facing something between 40k codex marines, and legion based CSM

Well, he did say something about doing 2500 points in 29 models with "zero Lords of War or flyers" (the fact that a Lord of the Legion is not a Lord of War is not lost on me) at first, so I'm expecting Herohammer, superheavies, or both. I'll make a list with the Shadowsword and a list without and use whichever one is more sporting against what he brings. Though at 2500 points of Guard, I basically can't help but swamp 29 models, whatever they may be, in bodies and hulls; at that points level there's nothing else I can do.

Anyway:
