1500 on the dot!

Go the Legion of the damned! Nice use too!

Dislike two drop pods, very vulnerable elements all alone. Maybe combimelta on sternguatd? Keep fist there.

I think replace drop pods w rhinos, replace ironclad with some devastators or predator destructor and you have a good shooty force balanced with some good hand to hand capabilities.

I like it,

Glad you like it! The Legion of the Damned I don't think are used a lot and I love their fluff and their stats I couldn't pass them up!
I made edits on the list from what you suggested. I wasn't sure if I wanted just one Predator with TL lascannon turret and lascannon sponsons or 2 dakka preds.

Reckon you could find the points to have one bare? And one with Auto/Las sponsons? Tends to be the best variant

Drop one or the other, and take some TH SS termies, to benifit with Vulkan's bonus. You have stuck with the theme of flame weps here but i just think it is a little to far away from the idea salamanders.

Dispite this, its good

With the tactical squads you only need one flamer tactical squad. The others would better with combimelta and melta to be better tank killers.

I think you only need 2 scoring units. So maybe go for one flamer tactical rhino for antiifantry, one melta rhino for antitank, the sternguard rhino for antitank. This would be to save points to buy more interesting buys.

I know your current sternguard are good tank hunters, can I say I quite like the combo of 2 heavy flamers and 4 combimeltas for the 6 so the rhino can shoot out flames or go searching for tanks.

Legion of the damned look damn pretty. Apart from coming to the field too late, having silly saves-if you enemy notices, and costing too much even with TL weapons are a fun choice.

I think your list would need two lascannon, autocannon preds: two so not be alone and lascannons to shoot things like StormRavens which need to be shot down early, this would still give a number of shots to take out infantry if you need to target some longfangs, let's say.

4 rhinos going forward, 2 preds supporting then one fun deepstriker sounds ok to me
