the Dreads come in on turn one in opponents deployment zone and knock out transports/tanks, will prolly leave the storms in reserve and deepstrike them in order to keep them alive longer, they are my quick scoring unit. the sniper scouts sit on my obj and try to pin units, and the God Squad in the Redeemer go headlong into the belly of the beast. What ya'll think?

I'd use LSS to knock tanks out, if you get turn 1 you can destroy any tank easy. That is more of a Vulkan statement though...

I also don't think you're running enough drop pods to really grant any kind of advantage by it. You can add a drop pod onto the TFC and then put your Tactical squad in a Rhino. I think the sniper scout squad is kind of pointless, as well as splitting the scouts up into two separate choices for two separate Sergeants for two fists for tank busting, if you don't use them for that I think they are kind of pointless. Take it with a grain of salt though.

Peace

Cammo cloaks on scouts in Storms? I assume you will outflank with the Raider? Maybe you can drop EA...
Drop the fist on the tacticals and give them a rhino and the pod to the TFC. Get fists on your alpha striking scouts.

what are the advantages/pros for putting a TFC in a DP, seems like that would only cost me rounds of shooting

the reason for the sniper scouts is that i can place them on my obj, that way i aint wastin a storm squad or a tac squad on sittin on an obj. this one plays more to the strengths of the HQ
