tactical squad and priest in the razor back to hold objectives

death company in rhino to find something to get into it with

just a fun idea, not looking to win alot of tourneys with it (thats what salamanders are for), just a new army to have fun with.

let me know what you think.

I think the two vehicles will die early fast, I would drop them and the tactical squad. Astorath can't go with the DC if they are in a rhino as well.

Death Masks aren't worth the points, its better to get an infernus and PF instead.

I would run it like this:
HQ
Dante-225
Astorath-220

Troops
Sanguinary Guard(CB,IP,PF)-250
Sanguinary Guard(2xIF,PF)-230
DCx5(IP,PW,JP)-205
RASx10(Melta,Melta,PF)-235
RASx5(Melta,PF)-135

I would put Dante with the CB Guard, Astorath with the DC, and support with the 10-man assault squad, using the five man to hold a backfield objective.

4 scoring units, still themed for the most part, and more melta to deal with Mech and MC's. No random armor for you opponent to blow up. It's not competitive but I think it will put up a better fight than the original list. Hope it helps.

Unless I'm missing something, 10 DC Marines in a Rhino cost 250 points, not 190.

I know this is a fun list, but you have some outright silly choices. A 5 man tac Squad in a Razorback is worse in almost every possible way than a 5 man Assault Squad in a Razorback. If the plan is to objective camp, take an Assault Squad with a Meltagun for targets of opportunity, drop the fist, and save 50 points. If you drop the Death Masks too, you save 50 more. Plus, Dante comes with a mask, and the effect doesn't stack with whatever squad he's with. The biggest problem of all is the total absence of anti-tank. For shooting you have 1 TL-Lascannon and Dante's Infernus Pistol, plus I guess a Meltagun on the DC Dred.

I think Lax's list is a pretty good way to go in the direction you've started with. It will at least be able to give you some decent games.

MrEconomics is right 250 not 190 20 points a model plus 50 for rhino.
This is mind blowing for me how this army is so small like really.
At this level you should have at least 4 melta guns and maybe a las can or 2 (i dont because laz hates me besides the point)
get a power fist or 2 in there possibly 3 they are good. Baal predators are awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they just ya anti tank anti infantry love em.
More priests you are a ba player you should have the opponents cursing the fact that you have feel no pain there is not better way than giving everyone feel no pain muahaha.
Baal preds can outflank that can help your squads a so much.
