This list is a little odd. I know I only have 1 scoring unit, but the idea here is to play straight denial i.e. (taking out their scoring units or hitting their elite units early on) and or table my opponent. Everything starts out in reserve under normal conditions, the furioso dreads are mounted in the DC Storm Ravens, and Astorath will normally ride with the assault marines. This army is really designed to be used with very specific tactics and a reliance on the Storm ravens seeing more than one turn.... Hopefuly with the dreads psychic powers they will.

Well, the army relies on the three Storm Ravens.
Some armies will have the fire power to take them on (and possibly down) early in the game.

Yes the list is pretty well themed around the Storm Ravens, however I was toying with the idea of dropping the dreads and running 3 LR's instead 2 redeemers and one standard, and then loading out the DC squads and giving the assault squad a melta or 2.

I just love the idea of the storm ravens ha ha.

Well, you possibly overestimate the survivability of the Storm Ravens.
I play mech Eldar and Serpents (with the same armor and energy field) are not too reliable.

I may have read it wrong but cant you only have one squad of death company?

Other then that you have the normal blood angle weaknesses and powers. Ive never had to fight them yet only ally myself with them only twice. So i could be wrong.

silvthril: You can take more DC if you take Astorath he abolishes the 0-1 force allotment for them.

wuestenfux: Oh I know the Storm ravens can fly apart, I just like the idea of the unit. I will see how they play and then make the final judgement based on that.
