So my ideas were to drop the Stern Vets with a Sanguinary Priest turn 1 near a high priority target and melta it/them to death. The Tac Sqd is there to camp Objectives and just react to the situation at hand. The assault Sqd just a Rush unit to tie something up or pick on squishy things. Tycho a squad of Stern Vets with Corbulo role around in a Storm Raven and either HQ hunt or area denial. Death Company does what they do best, Run in and Break things. The Dreadnought does the same thing but for bigger targets. Scouts are Objective holders and harassers. And finally, after the Storm Ravens drop there payload they just start strafing targets and gaining air superiority.

So please critique and let me know what y’all think.
Thank you

Why the Tac Squad instead of another RAS? RAS has Similar price, same reacting ability, better movement. Is the DC Dread going in a SR? I'd say see if you can get another one in there if you want to go that route, because lone dreads seem to always draw lots of attention. Maybe drop the hurricane bolters on the SR and drop the smaller scout squad? I dunno. I'm intrigued by how effective massed sniper fire would be. I can see that being VERY ugly.

I ran it VS Tau and it was nice pinned 2 Fire warrior Squads down a turn each and killed each Sgt
the only reason I took a Tac Sqd over the Assault Sqd was the missile launcher, I could drop the Tac Sqd bring in anouther Dread/DC Dread and try and flesh out my Assault squad more
and yes he gets airlifted in.
but the only thing with that is that I would have to deploy something else on table...
