Very impressive and fluffy list Dante (an infiltrated Blood Angel amongst infiltraitors)!

Chaz,

For my Tank Hunters, I think they are already well armed to do their job in 1500pts fights : 12" with the Phobos, disembark then charge for 10 Melta Bombs attacks.

You're right about some Plasma help against TEQ/MEQ/Low AV and I could give 2 of them to a Veterans Squad in a Rhino to shoot by the hatch while moving protected (even with AV 11, better than nothing).

BTW I have a big question about Snipers : In the BRB, they always wound on 4+ and count as STR 4 against vehicles but how to read this with Plasma which already wounds on 2+ and can glance AV 10 on 3+?

10 Melta bombs should be more than fine, aye. 10 attacks = 6-7 hits, should one shot anything that isn't a Spartan, which isn't unlikely either.

This addresses your plasma query.

I use the Headhunter RoW with Alpharius in 1750+ points games (25% rule)
I use...
Armillis Dynat (All round HQ with a rule that gives you +1 on the vehicle damage chart, allowing you to reliably pop tanks with basic infantry)
Exodus (4 Shot Sniper Rifle? WHY ARENT YOU TAKING THIS!)

2x Headhunter Killteams (A reliable unit that has Power Daggers, dont be afraid to charge them into combat)
2x Recon Squads w/ Power Armoura nd shotguns (soak up some wounds for exodus and dynat)

Alpharius (He hides in units, Has an ID spear with armourbane which makes him DESTROY Mechanicum lists, Plus he buffs your guys with PE everything)

Thats what you need for the basics

sorry dante, in 30k you need a minimum of 2,000 points before you can even bring a LoW :( but that could be resolved with some terminators, or other such troop to give you a durable 'foot hold' of sorts.

Since when did you need 2000 points?
I know about the 25% rule (meaning you would need 1661 points minimum to field him)

from the crusade list red book: "Availability: In a battles in the age of Darkness game of 2,000 points or greater, Lords of War selections will be available to an army based upon the specific Force...." Pg. 8

Well gak, I also did not realise it had to be 2000 points (just thought it had to be 25%).
Also dante, curious how you deal with significant amounts of armour with all that, going to get shot up a fair bit before being close enough to do anything to it in combat.

Well thats just really the base list
when i field it i have a Leviathan and Storm Eagle as well
