Death company should have some powerfists and powerweapons as they have rage and only choose their first target.

The Reclus., Death company and stormravens are never effective as you would imagine.

I would deepstrike everything or nothing. That is deepstrike everything if you will with stormraven.

I think you are taking too many toys here, especially for a 1500 list. I think you should either completely commit to the Stormraven theme (in which case you need 2, each fully loaded) or ditch the vehicles.

If you want my thoughts on the former, here they are:

HQ: Mephiston 250
EL: Furioso Dreadnought with Blood Talons 125
TR: 5 Death Company Marines, 1 Power Fist 125
TR: DC Dreadnought with Blood Talons 125
TR: 10 Assault Marines, 2 Meltaguns, Power Fist 235
TR: 10 Assault Marines, 2 Meltaguns, Power Fist 235
HS: Stormraven 200
HS: Stormraven 200

Total: 1495

You should not deep strike with the Stormravens. They have huge footprints, so mishaps are way too likely unless you stay quite far away from the enemy. You'll obviously pop smoke for the 4+ cover, but you're still really likely to end up with a destroyed Stormraven and a stranded, raging DC. You should start them on the table if you go first, reserve them if you go second.

I'd arm them with Multi-meltas and Assault Cannons; you really need extra anti-vehicle firepower, especially anti-transport.

your basement

i echo Mr.eco

but to further add vv on a doa army work in that case ditch the stormraven and dc and put in more asm

vv work best cheap so make them 5 man, 0-2 pf and 0-2 pw.... preferably just them a fist and be done

in that case ditch the fancy chaplain for a libby, hes much more versatile

in the other hand do the stormraven list along with the libby

may i add dropping 600+ points alone in a 1500 is huge sink, you will end up going to 2k easy in a raven list just add your units, dreads and fire support
