Corbulo, you're thinking of, right?

ah yes! thank you

no worries. I dunno if I'd go with grapple, although it's an interesting idea on the dread, I guess I'll just have to try it sometime just to see for myself.

I would get rid of the snipers, to be honest. It doesn't really click from my observation.

I'm not really a big fan of the idea of running a priest behind a rhino in a jump pack if you're using a rhino, it just seems like he's begging to get blasted.

I might drop some of the more expensive stuff and get your hands on a librarian. Given the right application, they are badass.

Definitely take the magna-grapple on the DC dreadnought. It shores up their only weakness - rage-kiting with cheap vehicles.

Scout snipers are awesome objectivesitters. Camo cloaks are absolutely necessary for it though. You can trim them down to 5 (4 snipers + ML) with camo cloaks to shave points.

Drop two of the DC and run 10 of them with a bit of wargear. A PFist and a PW will cover the cost of 2 DC marines and go a lot further toward making the unit harder hitting.

Consider the assault cannon in place of the plasma cannons on the stormraven. It'll outperform the plasma cannon in just about every single way.

Death masks are ridiculously overcosted and pretty terrible. Drop those.

So maybe something like this?

hmm

I like Corbulo, but since he's an independent character, once you get him into an assault he will be a prime target, but 2+ FNP is pretty sweet if you can maintain it when it's most critical.

Also, making a furioso walk can be slow, even when you make it run as it'll fall behind all the other fast fellas in this build. I'd recommend making room to give it a drop pod

and it shouldn't be forgotten that if you make it walk, it will be a major target for lascannons and the like.

Corbulo can't take a JP. He would be so much better if he could.
