Is your plan to deep strike them all ? I looks decent however the 2 five man squads scare me i might try to run them together

Yeah good point. Since there's no Sanguinary Priest, they will not have Feel no Pain. Thx for the suggestion! As for your question, I ain'T sure if I'm going to deep strike them all yet. What would you suggest me?

So combinning the two asault squad into a single one gave me enough point to have a heavy flamer on one of my dreadnought. What do you think of it?

Any other comments?

Astorath, a Reclusiarch, and Lemartes? That's pretty redundant. If you want every squad to re-roll hits, then I would downgrade the Reclusiarch to a Chaplain with a Jump Pack and DS him with the Assault Squad...and then use the extra points to give the Sergeant a Power Weapon/Fist and give the other DC Dreadnought a HF?

And I think you should definitely DS everything. If you don't, your opponent will easily rage-bait your DC into bad situations. That's why I run 5 DC and a DC Dreadnought in a Stormraven so I can drop them where I want them thereby mitigating Rage.

Seems a good idea. I'm going to see what it gives in two sec. Thx for the idea.

Also keep in mind the DP assault rule. If you DS everything one Dread is comming down by itself on the 1st turn. You might be better off taking the JP's off everyone and putting them all into DP's, you loose DoA but it's a better chance of your guys surviving

At 1500 points, i don't think you should really take Lemartes as well, two special characters and another HQ, far to many points stuck in them. You could fit in a few more bodies with the points, I would also be tempted to get a third dread in the place of the Reclusiarch, means you get two drop pods down on the first turn

I made some changes. What do you think of it?

Aewsome but put all the death company together maybe?

Hmmm. Good idea. It would be an extremely scary and resilient squad of 10. Most opponent would run away from a flying bucnh of fearless berserkers with feel no pain and 2 Power fist. So Hows the list now ?
