2 Aspect Hosts, completely filled with 6 man Swooping Hawk units.

Yes I own them all, and yes it is fun to 1st Turn charge things like Imperial Knights and Land Raiders, killing them in assault with a couple of ~110 point units.

How my armies would handle that formation:
Dark Angels: Attack Bike or Land Speeder w/Multimelta, Grav Devastators, Bikes with Melta Bombs, possibly Deathwing with Chainfists. Maybe even ally in a Vindicare Assassin for his Turbo-penetrator rounds.
Khorne Daemonkin: D-thirster charges in, possibly murders two or more land raiders in one round since hits carry over against vehicle squadrons. Of course, that D-thirster will then be facing one or more units of rather annoyed terminators. Other options would be the aforementioned double-melta Raptor units, Maulerfiends, or melta bikers, or a Juggerlord with a charged-up Goredrinker.
Tau: Deepstriking Fusion Crisis suits, Stormsurge and its D-missiles, this might even be a job for a Ghostkeel with a Fusion Collider. Of course, there is also a Hammerhead with Longstrike, for whom tank killing is a specialty.

Seriously they sound good, melta on every single basic troop!? But melta range is tiny and the explosion that will happen will most likely kill our lovely t3 5++ troupe.

Also, SoB; multimelta or meltas!

Well, if we're going to be doing some show and tell...





Shas'vre'sep'pukku and his marry men have a long history of fething up tanks, and deep striking mishaps

Lets say they ran out of points equipping everyone else and they're just a standard landraiders, heavy bolters, and lascannons.

I'd just take a couple of blobs of guardsmen, maybe with a few meltaguns thrown in in case you try to get too close. Not much 2 lascannons and a heavy bolter can do against 250 points worth of cannon fodder.

Of the armies I have, probably my Imperial Stars Skyhammer Annihilation Force which includes 2 x 10 man Devastator Squads. Each squad is equipped with one Combi-Melta, two Multi-Meltas, and two Grav Cannons with Grav Amps.

SG

Kataphrons. 12 haywire shots + 54 grav shots.

CSM: Melta Termicide Squad, Oblits, Maulerfiends

Tyranids: Ummm, well, Zoanthropes? Find a way to catch them with Carnifexes? Cripes, I hate this codex

1 Brood, 3x Stone Crusher Carnifex. GG.

For my actual army that I *have* (genestealer cult) I have two lascannons, 2 S8 hammers and a metric fethton of rending claws.
