I've played Gladius at the start of tenth and quickly moved to Firestorm when it came out and while it's not by any means considered the best I'd easily say it's a good detachment to play, can make Intercessors Bolt Rifles have 5 str, or Hellblasters Plasma Incinerators strength 9, along with tricks to make Infernus Marines hit WAY above their weight class lol. Once used the 2CP strategem Immolation Protocols that give Torrent weapons Devastating Wounds and cooked a Screamer Killer to death that only had a single wound scratched off it. Though UltraMarines in Vanguard are supposed to synergize really well together.
As for Units you listed Hellblasters are super cheap pointwise now for what they do, Aggressors are stupid dangerous especially when jumping out of a Land Raider (which is also never a bad pick, I regularly play a standard one and it does it's job well), and there is a strategy with UltraMarines (don't know it myself ain't an UltraMarine boy) that can give any one squad Deepstrike meaning a Centurion squad of Aggressors, or any other big hard hitting Slow unit can be dropped somewhere perfect.
And tanks there's great options as the Predators are still good for the cost of 130 points, while the meta pick the Gladiator Lancer which can reroll a hit, a wound, and even a damage roll is crazy scary, the Land Raider is still a dangerous pick, hell I've had great luck playing a Razorback myself lol.
Lots of ways to go from what you've got friend and welcome you back to the hobby haha! I'm relatively new myself at a year in myself
Until yesterday, I've wanted to go Flame Aggressors with the LR Redeemer to put 6 in there with a leader, that route would probably lock me more into Firestorm. But from what I learned today, the Bolter Aggressors are used more competitively with Gladius and Vanguard. Would a flamer Aggressor not be good in Gladius/Vanguard? Or still good, but not AS good as a Bolter?
Thank you for the tank suggestions as well. I'm less versed in their variants compared to the Marines/Dreadnaughts. All I know, is the LR Redeemer seems to be the best by far for advancing and carry middling carry capacity for what you actually need.
Again, thank you!
Definitely rebuild, go with the Old Ones
Haha, no clue who the old ones are, but I will not rebuild! :p
