Iron Ravens

Space Marines/Firestorm Assault Force/IncursionShared

I painted them as the iron ravens but feel free to use whatever chapter This is a list made with all the units from the dawn of war game, the dark angels combat patrol and a redemptor dreadnought make a perfect 1000pts. Pros for this list are anti-infantry, horde and armored but main con is very low movement speed.

The read

Anti-infantry sits in the top 2%, spread across the list; mobility and resilience are in the bottom third.

«the top 2%» means above roughly 98% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapevs the p50 ring

The shape, not the verdict. Area is not a score — two lists with the same area can play nothing alike. The bars beside it are the reading that counts, and each spoke is this list's percentile under baseline assumptions.

Good — The list has several independent ways to meet this condition.

A Grievous Blow
Bring It Down
Burden Of Trust
Cleanse
No Prisoners
Overwhelming Force
Secure No Man's Land

Possible — The list can attempt this, but it depends on positioning or a key unit.

A Tempting Target
Defend Stronghold
Display Of Might
Engage On All Fronts

Difficult — This condition is hard to support with the current list shape.

Assassination

Fit is about list shape, not about what you will draw. A «difficult» card is still scorable — it just needs the game to go your way.
