My opponent likes Warriors, Carnifexes, Mawlocs and the like. He doesn't crank out large amounts of troops, so I made my battlesuits to deal with heavier units.

This list is made with Mawlocs in mind, as I have the most trouble dealing with them.

Comments, suggestions, typos, criticism?

From the perspective of a tyranid player: This looks scary. I mostly play horde style armies, but I can see the effect this would have on a MC army.

Deploy at two sides of the table so he has to split up. Then use your superior range to shoot everything at one of the splitted parts and move out of the way of the other. If he doesn't split just move away and shoot at whatever you want. Concentrate on the fast and the very shooty stuff first, and don't be afraid to move away somehting that is threatened, even if you loose a bit of shooting, you should be fine.

The mawlock is just another ordonance weapon that can only fire every second turn. If you spread your infantry in lines with about 1.25" coherency and keep your battlesuits a few inches apart it will not do much damage. Compare it to any number of IG tanks that are way scarier.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definately consider splitting my army, but it really depends how deployment goes and how the table is set up.

I was planning on hopefully keeping as many battlesuits in reserve as possible and then deepstriking them to where a Mawloc would burrow. If he got the Deathleaper, I would use them to take him out, which would be fairly easy, so that he does't get an automatic hit with his Mawlocs.
