Hi guys,
I love the Death Company and am trting to make them comp/tourney playable and have been fiddling and tooling around trying to get a decent workable set-up. Opinions anybody.
Basically it is a CC heavy force with some anti-tank. List is as follows:

HQ
Astorath

Troops
Assault Squad with JP x10
2 with Meltaguns
Sergeant with Infernus Pistol, Power Fist and Melta Bombs

Death Company Dreadnought with Blood Talons with Meltagun and Heavy Flamer mounted in Drop Pod

Death Company x5
All with power weapons
Lemartes
Mounted in Stormraven Gunship with Twin-Linked Assault Cannon, Typhoon Missile Launcher, Hurricane Sponson

Death Company x5
1x Thunder Hammer
1x Infernus Pistol and Power Weapon
1x Power Weapon
2x Bolt Pistol and Chainsword
mounted in Rhino

Death Company x6
2x Power Weapon
4x Bolt Pistol and Chainsword
mounted in Rhino

Land Speeder with Multi-melta and Typhoon Missile Launcher

Total 1750 points

Way too much gear on them. No matter how you play the DC, it's still a bunch of units full of one-shot weapons.

Ok so you suggest drop the variation and stick to bolt pistols and chainswords? Not sure why you say they are squads of one-weapons...

In a squad of 5 DC, take a power fist and a power weapon or two. There's no need for the rest of it.

Ok will check it out. Thanks dude

I agree with just sticking with PFs and PWs, don't need to mess with TH and definitely no Infernus pistols.

Remove all the gear from your Assault Sgt (even the meltas are optional, but only dump them if you really need points), as these are your only scoring troops. You don't want them near combat, especially with no priest.

I'd run the list as you have it with 2 rhinos and 1 SR but if you have trouble getting into combat, try dropping the SR for a 3rd rhino and Librarian with shield.

Looks like a fun list!
