Emperors Children 2k List

Praetor 

So I have played a dozen or so games of Age of Darkness. I really enjoy the Emperors Children Astartes special rules.  I can outflank the Spartan/terminators and the Lightning. Choosing what turn they arrive on in secret with the Maru Skara special rule. The Artillery and whirlwind set up as a hard point. If there is an alpha strike I can hold them in reserve as well then outflank because rite of war effects elites/fast attack. 

Lightning can open up almost any heavy transport on the board ,The Master of signal acts as a spotter for the artillery upping their bs to 5, and If inclined can drop his barrage instead any foot slogging troops. Splinter shells are the hail mary against any TEQ.
