Very nice list! Never thought the Assault intercessors were that good either a simple buff. Also really liked the double unit using the land raider idea too! 🎉 party bus time!
As a flesh tearers player I ran 10 assault intercessors with gabriel seth and a sang priest. The priest gives them 5+++ and an additional AP. There isn’t much that can stand up to that combo, if needed I throw red rampage for lethal hits and lance. On the charge the intercessors alone is 50 attacks at Strength 6 and AP 2, plus Seth is a beat stick
My favorite combo is 6 aggressors, 1 apothecary and Tor Garadon which means land raider crusader. If I’m not playing imperial fists then it’s just basically the number 1 in the video
My go-to unit to put in the Land Raider Redeemer is a full 10-man squad of Infernus Marines with Vulkan Hes'tan and an Apothecary attached using the Firestorm Assault detachment. If I go first, I can advance my Redeemer very close to my opponent's front line units and still be able to fire all weapons due to the Assault keyword being added to all ranged weapons. From there, I can either immediately disembark the Infernus squad and double down on the turn 1 damage if there are some important units nearby... or I can save my Command Points and go for a more cagey play on my opponent's turn 1. If any unit comes within 12 to 15 inches of the Redeemer and targets it during the shooting phase, then I like to use the Burning Vengeance strategem for 1 Command Point to disembark the unit on their turn and immediately return fire on that unit. If I'm lucky enough to have an opponent choose the Redeemer as its target later in the Shooting Phase, this gets even more benefit due to keeping the Infernus squad safe from shooting *and* getting to shoot on my next turn, as well. If my opponent goes first, then being able to advance and drop those Infernus Marines right within flamer range is a very nice bonus. The Forgefather ability from Vulkan also lets all Torrent and Melta weapons reroll wounds, which synergizes with both the Infernus Marines and the Redeemer if you really want to bring down a priority target. Being able to then activate Immolation Protocols on turn 2 (or even my turn 1 if I go second) means that I am able to put a ton of firepower and pressure on one area of the battlefield and potentially wipe out key units of my opponents' army on the very first turn if they weren't very cagey with their movement and placement of units. It's a somewhat expensive combination: 310 for the Infernus/Vulkan/Apothecary squad and 260 for the Redeemer. However, the durability of the Land Raider Redeemer allows for this sort of gambit to succeed more often than not. In all the times I've run it, I've never failed to remove at least 1 unit from the battlefield, but it's more common to remove 2 or 3 units in my experience. In a 1,000 point game against my friend playing the Tau, my Land Raider Redeemer and Gladiator Valiant were able to remove half of his army's point value from the table on my first turn's shooting phase. My follow-on squad of Aggressors never got to shoot and I kept my Infernus squad inside the Redeemer since I was able to go first. By pulling the Burning Vengeance trick on his shooting phase, I removed 70% of his army on turn 1 for no losses of my own aside from a handful of wounds on my vehicles. It's a large points investment for your army, but I highly recommend trying it out at least once!
@@DickDawgDaDildoKILLA You're right about the advance and disembark of course, but if I'm going second, I don't need to advance most of the time in order to get the squad within flamer range... unless, of course, we're playing short deployment zones and a long battlefield. In those rare cases, I'll just advance the Redeemer and shoot with it and then try to disembark them on my opponent's Turn 2 shooting phase using the Burning Vengeance stratagem. If I get a Dawn of War deployment, then the base 12" movement is more than enough to bring the Infernus/Vulkan/Apothecary squad right into the thick of things - especially against opponents that like to rush the No Man's Land objectives on turn 1. It's definitely not the "end-all, be-all," but it's absolutely my favorite "one-two, BBQ" combo in the Space Marine codex in its present state ^_^
My current favorite loadout is 2x LR Redeemers. One with Adrax Agatone w/ 3x Bladeguard and a BG Lt w/ Champion of Humanity and 3x Assault Centurions kitted out with meltas and bolters. The other gets packed to the gills with Flamestorm Aggressors and a Gravis Cpt. Adrax gives full RR on the wound roll for melee, and the BG give the characters a full hit RR since they hit on 2s. Champion of Humanity works great against Death Guard shenanigans. I like to use Burning Vengeance with the Centurions or Aggressors. When the stars align, anyway.
Always worth having a captain with the ass intercessor as they give reroll wounds on objective. Go assault doctrine, Pop Finest hour + Honor the chapter and give Honor Vehment for hella reroll dev wounds
That's good thinking! With Assault Intercessors the question is often not what Character could help out this unit but what can the Intercessors do for the character? I also like the Judiciar in there as well for the wound reroll on his weapon. He is quite cheap as an item carry and gives fights first as well.
I like to throw sternguard and a chaplain into mine. Drive them up close, rapid fire with the stern bolters, then charge in with the +1 to wound on all of the 4 attack close combat weapons and the sergeant's weapon. The chaplain makes them a pretty versatile infantry damage dealer.
As a CSM player I hope w one day get more "assault oriented" weapon options on our Land Raiders. That the Dark Mechanicum gets of their asses and makes some alterations.
@@nicholasd7107 Hehe. Come on! :-P But seriously, I'm sort of the mindset tht I'd like to see CSM be a little more close combat oriented than currently. I'm not thematically a huge fan of the CSM relying on Multiple Predators/Vindicators, Mark of Nurgle/Tzeentch, Abaddon for re-rolls and potenitally a Hellbrute on top type of meta. I'd like them to lose some of that and instead rely a bit more on infntry-based close combat overall. To support a bit of of this kind of a playstyle, I think a more Assault-oriented Land Raider could be interesting and viable.
@@runeh3022 I agree infantry is probably more thematic and lore accurate for you guys. You’re infantry compared to codex infantry is better in my opinion. I am new to the game as well. However if you guys got a land raider redeemer, with that super infantry and Angron it would be over for us. Balance out the window.
@@nicholasd7107 I was not suggesting a redeemer specifically, just to be clear. :-) Maybe something with some plasmagun setup or something. Something new :-) Right now the detachment is supposedly World Bearers, but somewhat ironically Abaddon feels more like he should be named Perturabo in terms of how the game plays.
Go sons of sang detachment Red Rampage on two units per turn Do it on 6 man BGV. Cut up some fools ! Lethals and plus one to wound . Like 35 attacks str 7 with lethal and plus 1 to wound
Sons of Sanguinius for +2 S +1A. 10 assault intercessors a Capt. for a free RED RAMPAGE ( [LANCE] and [LETHAL HITS] ) and a Sanguinary priester for + 1AP and a 5+++ without the Characters 50 Attacks S6 AP -2 D1 with LANCE and LETHAL HITS + there Shock Assault ability
Honorable mentions blood clawd with ulrik the slayer generally full hit and wound re rolls same amount of attacks on the charge and you add a terminator into the unit for 40 points granted that uhh makes the total.cost 520 points 😆 🤣 as that combo is 260 like the land raider
@vfminiatures it works I can't for sure say if it's worth it after watching this I'm really in favor of eradicators in the land raider I drop the term I can stick the blood claw unit in a rhino the aggressors combo that's an eternity to roll out and despite their profile unless you really have to last thing you want is them in melee as they do way more dmg in shooting
it makes me all kinds of salty to know that assault intercessors are just flat better than my khorne berzerkers in every conceivable way and cheaper on top of it

how can you advance the land raider then disembark? I might be wrong but you cant disembark after you advance, only an impulsor can do that
