Drop a chaplain for 3 sangpriest w/ JPs. You will benefit more with that as your assault marines will be a lot more durable and they and the chaplains will gain FC. Try and fit in a PF or TH on your DC, maybe even 2 since their rage will bring them close to enemy armour. Other then that it seems playable.

Well, given the restriction you're operating under, there isn't too much you could do differently. I would suggest not mixing meltaguns and flamers, take squads that are all one or the other. You should also drop a DC Marine or two to get some Power Fists in that squad. As it is, you have a lot of points that could be tied up for a long time by a walker.

By the way, are you going to start on the table most of the time? Those Chaplains will be expensive sergeants if your opponent is charging you, which they should if you deep strike.

So maybe 3 Squads of 2 Meltaguns and Infernus pistol, then 2 squads with Flamers and Hand Flamers?

You could drop the DC down, pick up 2 honor guard squads so you will have more special weapons and 2 built in priests which IMO you NEED if you are going DoA.

But to echo others, it is unwise to mix and match the weapons. You should go one way or the other.

Infernus pistols and hand flamers suck. Um pf in the assault squads is a must add priests you need them. For the love of humanity and the love of your units put the dc into a transport those guys will rage all over and jump packs cost too much for them

Why you got a army of Chaplains for? You only really need one for the Death Co and you've taken Lemartes. Get Sanguinary Priests for elites they will help your army much better. You want to re-roll hits get Librarian with unleash rage as you can cast it in any assault phase and the Librarian costs cheaper than a Reclusiarch.

All the squads should have the same special weapons not a mix as meltagun is anti tank and flamer anti troop so when firing a meltagun at a tank you only get one chance, I prefer to double my chances and take two meltas and have better weapon synergy.

For 2,500 points this isn't a lot and a jump infantry list I wrote at 2,000 points will out number this. Seriously consider the Death Co as they're costing a packet of points.

Just love the chaplain fluff so I'm keeping it that way

Good luck then without Priests

Hey Riddick, as I mentioned, if you drop down the Death Company and pick up 2 honor guards you can still keep with the theme of chaplains while picking up special weapons and priests who cannot be singled out. You would be able to put a chaplain in every unit but the honor guards, but they should not be seeking combat if they have special weapons.
