Essentially this is an attempt to get my first HH army going by using the absolute most out of the big starter box.

#

I would plan to convert all the tactical marines to veterans by giving them a bunch of special weapons and bits, then converting one of the characters to a centurion.

#

Then there’s as much assault transport I could afford points-wise plus some cheaper rhinos to carry everyone,
Strat is pretty much ride up in Land Raiders with some Dreadnought support and go big punch

#

This is what I thought would be the best way to get a functional army out cheaply as a first HH army, is there a better way to make a first army, or some tweaks I should consider?

without getting into what's most effective yet: i don't believe there's a kheres in the starter box, so you may want to plan on a different dread weapon

#

(the standalone contemptor has two sprues of weapons, the AoD one only has one)

#

the (battlescribe? newrecruit?) formatting is weird and throwing me off a bit trying to parse it
falax blades are good but for your warlord you'll probably have more luck with something with S8 and/or brutal, since he's mostly going to be fighting 2W+ units

#

power swords are imo the worst of the power weapons - i personally use either mauls or axes depending on if i need to deal with 3+ saves or 2+ saves, with very occasional arguments for lances. i have some power swords, but those were concessions to bits availability rather than actual preference

#

(but if you're trying to use as few kits as possible and don't want to/can't print, swords are the only readily available ones, so fully understood)

#

nuncio vox is not helping you where you took it, because you have no deep strike and no blast weapons that i see

#

i assume the heavy flamer on the spartan is a pintle weapon - i would take it off there and stick something on the rhino personally, flamer doesn't really synergize with what you want the spartan shooting at & the inability to place templates over your own models will greatly restrict how much it can help chargers

I think double melee on the contemptor with an inbuilt grav gun to foul enemy charges

ehhh
if i was building my aod contemptor again i would have gone melta + fist/melta or fist/grav

#

the one extra attack is nice, don't get me wrong, but you're footslogging that contemptor, and having something with actual range is useful
