Wheres the terminators?

I should explained the list a bit. This is a defensive list. Most of the people at my store tend to run 1-3 juiced up units and hide their troop choices in the back while the brutes do all the work, maybe rushing the troops foward in the 4th or 5th turn to hop onto an objective. The point of this army is to attempt to destroy transports and then poor AP fire over brutes at range and if they still manage to get into CC to sacrifice a combat squad to them so the rest of the army can rapid fire on the brutes when they're done eating the sacrificial unit. Kinda take play out of the IG playbook, except I don't get first rank second rank fire.

If it works out I should be able to destroy the high point McNasty units out and have enough left over to take objectives and shoot the other guy's token troops off of their objectives.

it doesnt seem too bad i suppose

Looks a good list against most shooty armys,only problem is this list is vulnerable to flankers,once they're in combat your other units will have a hard time trying to defend your side of the table.

With the recent metagame having alot of flankers such as Flayedones,Mandrakes,StrikingScorpions,Genestealers...etc..been commonly used you might need a anti-assault unit as this list looks abit like a 1 trick pony imho.

Since i don't play DA i can't suggest much,but just wanted to point it out.

I don't know if I like the of countering a Brute Rush with mass tacticals.

I would run Sammael in this list. Landspeeder version ofc.

3x Squads of Meltagun / RL or MM tac squads + 3x LS w/ MM + HF and 3x Predators in HS with Autocannons / HB is an awesome combo. Then add some dreads with MM + CCW + HF and you got a sweet army. It's sheps army and Steleks DA army. It works like magic.

Sammael (I don't think you need me to tell you this) is like the shiz. That dude is rediculous. He is near untouchable with the speed and AV and hurts like a mother.

It would help to know what the "brutes" are. Like Vulcan TH/SS termies? Nob Bikers? Seer Councils? In that case mass anti-infantry fire would be great! Meltagun their x-ports and blow through them with mass firepower.

Long Range firepower to cripple the troops would be good. Rifleman dreads (2x TL Autocannons) would probably be good to cripple the infantries x-ports.
