Hey all, I posted this list a few weeks ago and got a ton of help with some CC. I just wanted to throw it up one more time and get some more feedback before I started making purchases for it. Thanks all!

I've never been fond of single LR lists. There is too much melta/shooty floating around in late 5th edition that presenting that huge bulls-eye means it's probably going to make it 12" onto the table and then get immobilized or wrecked.

The core of the list sounds good to me, assuming you are combat squading the troops so the ML is in the backfield while the melta/flamer hunters are in the rhino.

I have definitely thought of dropping the Termies and LR in favor of a 3rd dual tl auto dread and another pred or 2, however I like having something AV 14 on the table to draw some fire. I also like having the termies being able to either load up in the LR as a counter assault unit, or be able to deep strike depending on the list I'm going against. against lists with a lot of melta though, you are right, it won't last too long, but if I keep in in back, perhaps it will entice them to play a bit too aggressively.

This is nearly identical to most tournament lists I run when playing SM... I generally do fairly well. This list should be fine.

My only change would be to drop the MM speeder, cut one of the tac squads to 5 man in a razorback, and take another auto/las predator.

I run similar Vanilla lists and while 1850 makes fitting in a LR with Termies difficult, it is not a deal breaker. You just have to correctly identify in each game whether to use it as a gunboat with counter assault elements or a main assault vehicle.

Personally, I am not a fan of double MM LS or meltas on Tact squads ( heresy... I know). I find that if I need melta power, speeders or attack bikes are the way to go. I use flamers on my Tacticals and focus them on anti-infantry.

I would drop the MM landspeeder and Termie armor for the librarian which would give you 120 points to play with. That equals 2 MM ABs and extra armor for the LR (which is huge) plus 5 points that you can upgrade a flamer to a MG. Now you have solid stand off capabilities and can hide 2 MMs behind your LR to jump out and hit targets.

I do like the idea of squeezing in another predator. Would you stick with a 2nd ac/lc or do you think a TL LC / hb's would be a better set up on the 2nd one?
