and I dont give up any free points for the games

But any Ideas what to take An or Drop Beside's Carapace thanks

All dropping armies like that I would think will do poorly in kill point missions. That's where my opponents get all thier points against me.

I would give your main commander the Honorifica Imperialis. Gives them HSO stats 5 points cheaper than actually upgrading to an HSO. And I'm assuming when you say you have a LT leading the command squad it is a Junior Officer.

HSO costs 70 points.
JO with Honorifica Imperialis cost 65 points and you get HSO stat line.

Since you are using the Armageddon pattern Sentinels, and no Fire Support teams, I'm gonna assume they, along with your melta equipped command squads will be your main anti-tank forces? I also noticed you didnt put any heavy weapons in your line squads. Are you planning on using them all as mobile units? If not, a few heavy bolters or autocannons would add some volume of fire to your line squads.

It's pretty common for drop troops not to incorporate heavy weapons in line squads under the assumption that they will not be on the board long enough to make good use of them.

true, but if you put out a few squads deep in your lines with good lanes of fire you can throw some rounds downrange for a couple or more turns with heavy bolters and autocannnons. Then still use the majority of your troops as drop units to keep them occupied away from your long range base of fire.

Just an option.

and by a few squads i mean fire support or anti-tank squads, with maybe a line squad or two close by to run interference for them if someone gets too close
