Dreads break vehicles, henchmen torrent infantry. Lib keeps everyone alive with shrouding, he and Coteaz hang with the DCA henchmen so they get Hammerhand and become more killy in CC.

Thoughts?

An option on the troops is swapping the storm bolter squads for ---> 4x Psyker, 8x henchmen 72pts. This saves you 24pts altogether, pick up 3 servoskulls for the Lib so those blasts scatter less.

The problem with pyskers is they aren't very reliable, and suck against other GK (thanks to reinforced aegis, good luck rolling psychic tests with ld4 :S)

It's a decent list, but IMO it's not very balanced. Honestly, too many dreadnoughts imbalances your army. I'd ditch 1 vendread for something else, like plasmas/meltas for your henchmen unit. Also, I'd probaby swap out 1 henchmen unit for a mini-deathstar counter-assault unit with deathcults and crusaders.

The army needs dreads to compete, IMO.

Plasmas aren't very point efficient at killing anything, especially with bs3. Meltas aren't needed IMO, as the henchman squads dont wanna get close, and the dreads bring plenty of AT already.

A mini deathstar with DCA's and crusaders isnt any more survivable than the rest of the army against shooting, and with no vehicles to hide in, theyll just get torrented down.

The 7 DCA in the list aren't going to anything, the squads will die to 1 dbl tap boltgun effort. Get rid of them and add acouple of razorbacks with psybolts.

If you are going to make a 1 dimentional army go all the way with it.

If were to face you I would concentrate on killing your tissue paper scoring units and leave the dreads for last, you demek me by turn 3, i kill all your scoring in the same time frame, i win...

Guys, wake up, you gotta cause 216 wounds to kill all of the scoring models...

That's while I'm shooting you with all my stuff.

A Land Raider with a deathstar unit inside is going to ruin your day, none of those henchmen squads are going to be able to stand up and since your Dreads are all TLLC, you have nothing to really counter-assault with. With no meltas on your henchmen your ability to reliable take out AV13+ is greatly diminished. Don't get me wrong, as a space wolves player I think strength 8 weapons are great but they do have their weaknesses.

OFC, because if I'm facing a Land Raider I definitely won't try to immoblize it with my dreads/charge it with henchmen packing Might of titan. Even str 6 hutrs when you've got 2D6 pene backing it up.
