If you are taking this many Meltas, you should probably take Vulkan. He'll make all these Meltas twin linked!

I like!

Just some advice, when you drop your MM pods, split them 2 MM in 1 group and 2 MM in the other. That way, you can shoot at more thinks. With 4 MM in 1 group, you will garuntee a tank destroyed. With 2 in each group, your reliably taking out 2 tanks.

Vulkan too, that would be great.

That is one way to do it. The idea is to try and not use the pods unless it's dawn of war or I really need to set up shop somewhere specific. If only multimeltas were assault. The ironclads will march up the board beside the predator so they only have pods to give me deployment options. That and the deathwind launchers help with horde control

As for vulkan, I honestly think a librarian is better when I have this many meltas already.

Mostly I'm looking for ideas on the troops section. The terminators are negotiable if you can come up with a better troops setup using razorbacks, but they're useful as a screening unit and can cause a lot of trouble with gate.

The open FA slot is a bother as well. I'd feel better with another squad of bikes there.

Why not Landspeeders. Give you some variety, albeit at a tad more points.

MM/HF can take out tanks and burn swarms, too.

Well like you said, bikes are cheaper. And I don't often find myself needing speeder flamers specifically.

If we could find some way to make room for typhoons though, that'd be cool.
