Ironstorm Spearhead Detachment - Ravenwing Talonmaster, 2x Stormraven, 3x Redemptor Dreadnought, Thunderstrike
Kit Smith smashes in a 6-0 with his double Stormraven build to send off the Ravenwing Talonmaster in true style.
One of the main perks of this list build on the double Stormraven is the Talonmasters aura that provides the Stormravens and the Thunderstrike with Ignores Cover. The current Stormraven build has been covered over in the Tactics Corner so if you are unaware of the current Dark Angels hype head over there for a breakdown on how the Stormraven build operates.
The double Stormraven, with all the defensive buffs and then Ignores Cover carries alot of firepower potential that is great into a range of targets. With the Ignores Cover even the AP2 Stormstrike missiles are pushing Custodes (Kits Game 6) back onto their 4++ where the Damage 3 profile means too many coin flips to instantly remove a model. The Redemptors are also a serious issue for Custodes as the combined T10, 2+ and -1 damage profile offer up a very tough challenge for Custodes in where the Custodes are AP2 and D2 and wounding on 5's for the most part. A well placed Armour of Contempt can really ruin the Custodes party here and once they are exposed from behind their staging points, the Dreadnoughts are able to Fall Back and Shoot with the Plasma Cannons to add to the number of coins being flipped.
The lone Thunderstrikes in these lists really add to the firepower that the Stormraven, and other units, can land with the +1 to wound bonus on a target it hits. This scaled incredibly well with any sort of reroll wounds, which the Stormraven has in spades - only the Stormstrike Missiles don't have Twin-Linked. Those Hurricane Bolters can really punch up with Ignores Cover and +1 to wound into Vehicles and Monsters.

Although there are no Dark Angels specific units (meaning this could be run as any Space Marine Faction) Chad has made the right choice in picking the First Legion for his submission. This is also the ONLY list this week that doesn't include a Stormraven - so we will talk about it!
Only a single character leading this one, with just the Target Augury Techmarine on-hand to provide the list with LETHAL HITS, and to make the most of this aura there are alot of shots coming downstream in the form of 2x Repulsor Executioners. Whenever I see double Repulsor Executioner my brain instantly goes to look for Roboute Guilliman in the list for double Mercy is Weakness, or double Oaths of Moment.
3x Invictor Tactical Warsuits, all with Incedium Cannons, and 2x Brutalis Dreadnoughts suggest this is a list that wants to apply a lot of pressure early game to get all those Walkers in and swinging their fists.

Ironstorm Spearhead - Stormraven Gunship, Repulsor Executioner, 6x Eradicators, Glancer, Greaper, Redemptor Dreadnought
A wide variety of vehicles have been emptied from The Rock for this list, as Ryan almost fields a Highlander style Ironstorm - there can only be one!
In fact, the only duplicated unit in this list is the double Techmarine - and (in my mind) that's because the Enhancement is locked to Techmarines!
Overall, Ryan has still gone with some of the traditional Ravenstorm build, with the Dark Shroud on hand with the Adept of the Omnisiah to support the Stormraven T1. There's a shift from the Talonmaster across to the Lieutenant with Combi-Weapon that many are starting to pre-empt with the loss of the Talonmaster on the cards. There is a minor drop in firepower here as the Ignores Cover aura does make a difference on the AP2 Stormstrikes and the Hurricane Bolters; but Ryans overall performance suggests the Stormraven builds are going to be here for a bit longer once the Talonmaster finally succumbed to the new Codex coming out.

A solid Ravenstorm build with firepower from all angles as Danny secures another GT win for the First Legion with a Stormraven and double Repulsor Executioner built.
The inclusion of the Phobos Librarian back on the Infiltrators suggests that maybe Danny was expecting a large number of Hypercrypt lists and he managed to draw 2 of them on his way to a 5-0 (the 4th round Necron list being Canoptek Court).
Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs are a fantastic unit at the moment, and very well priced for their utility. They perform a very nice role in a Space Marine list as a utility unit, owing to their 12" move combined with FLY and INFANTRY keywords meaning they can move about most board with relative freedom. They are also a really nice unit into some tougher opponents, where they can scoot up throw a GRENADE and then Charge for a couple of cheap Mortal Wounds to bring down a target that otherwise might be a struggle.

Jay runs in a solid 4-1 at the South-Coast Super Major this week, running a single Stormraven list.
As mentioned above, a few people are starting to look at life after the Talonmaster and Jay has going with the Phobos Librarian as his pick for the Master of Machine War caddy. This feels like a great choice as the Librarian pairs very well with the Infiltrators to provide Lone Op to the unit (so they cant be targeted at over 12" away) whilst also preventing units from Deep Striking within 12" (including Hypercrypt / Inceptors etc). This provides the double bonus of allowing the Infiltrators to be used a bit more aggessively and in the open to screen the backfile more freely, whilst also being in the general position where you generally want vehicles making their Fall Back moves.
Jay runs this list with Azrael leading a 10x unit of Sternguard. There have been a few variations on this, but the Sternguard option presumably provides the list with a few extra opportunities for Mortal Wound output - especially into INFANTRY heavy lists that might otherwise be an issue.
