Hey all so well, here's what I have so far and I have about 385 points left to spend. I was wondering what else I should spend on this army. Figured id throw this in and see what you all figured. Im trying to base it around a drop pod army *more or less* With some static somethings. mainly tnak hunters is whta im thinking of (3 land speeders) but as for the rest I just don't know.

It's a little hard to tell yoru squad sizes, by the points they look to be full squads, but your listing makes that difficult to see.

Sterguard like combi meltas. Use them this way to deal with enemy armor without having to load up on heavy weapons elsewhere.

This could be supported with two iron clad dreads in pods, or three cheap regular dreads walking. That would actually take a little of the pressure off of your my-low-armor-makes-me-fell-bare-naked-and-we-are-the-only-targets-on-the-board-if-my-opponent-goes-first land speeders. Ironclads in dps would do more damage in the long run though, and would give you two more pods making your first turn drop 3 pods(total of 6) instead of 2.

very true on the dread part. i was figuring maybe throw in one or two of them. As for the Army list yha thier all full squads. sorry figured it was clear enough but i was wrong .

As for my one sterny squad I was thinking 5 meltas and 5 plasma. break them up when they come down. Pop said land raider with the meltas then unlaod with the plasmas to finish the squad that jumps out. what do you think on that?

I thought you had to combat squad stuff before they deployed on the table, so they would not be able to break up after they come down

normally that is true, if the squad has a drop pod how ever you do it when they come out.
