Nearly 600 points tied up in one transport? Any opponent who has any sense will bring that down on the first turn. Given its the only Raven in the list too there's nothing else to take priority. You'd be better off trying to trim that down a little, maybe drop the ven dread altogether, they really aren't worth the points. You could then use those points to up your troops...26 T3 models at 1750 isn't enough, you need some more. Other than that the list looks alright to me.

I totally agree that 600 points in 1 model is way to much thats why it deepstrike with help of 1 servo-skull and Phsycic Communion. And yes the inv dreadnought is a bit messy but could be good anti tank and also good in cc against stronger opponents like terminators and it has also strong survivbility. The biggest reason why I have it is because of the lack of strong anti tank and a so called strong unit. I have also idea by taking 5 man purifiers into the rhino which alrdy have some purifiers in it If i do so im probably gonna swap the dread into something more usefull.

Hmm, deepstriking may not be a bad idea, just be careful where you do it as it will be sitting duck to melta fire if you get too close. Remember it can't fire (apart from one gun thanks to POTMS) and nothing can get out the turn it comes in.

If you're worried about heavy AT then I've heard the Vindicare assassin works well. Never used him before but 4D6+3+rending on each of the 4 dice you roll is certainly going to hurt most armour I'd imagine. Other than that get lots of psycannons. With my purifiers I usually run a 10 man unit and take 4 psycannons, then I combat squad, leave the 4 cannon guys and another dude behind in a building and send the 5 CC guys off in a razorback. I will vouch that 4 psycannons will chew most tanks, 16 S7 shots with rending is nice.

Hi Lynx nice to hear from you!

Gunship are immun to the extra D6 roll so i think meltas wont be a big problem for me . And yes The Vindicare is awesome but in fact you only roll 4D6 you dont get the extra 3 so my point is its actually kinda hard to get a penetration hit. If you roll 4D6 the avergae is 14 which is only a glancing hit so i think he is too unpredictable for its cost and he is also a huge kill point with only 36 " range.
And may i ask how the 4 Psycannons guy can leave the squad?

Combat squading, just about any 10 man marine unit can do it. When you split you choose who goes in which squads. I see a lot of people running 5 man units with 2 weapons in it and I think... 'why put big guns in a unit that is going to charge?' You're loosing power weapon attacks and normally the psy/incin guys are the first removed. That's only my opinion though, so its just a suggestion.

Hi Lynx
Sorry I missunderstood you

Cheers
