leaves me with 85 pts spare, thoughts? i think i am lacking anti vehicle and long ranged weaponry, also are the priests neccessary as astorath can provide more consistent red thirst rolls.

An aegis defense line may come in handy as you have no anti flyer capabilities. Also if you could get a chaplain to join your DC it would be a boost as re rolling failed hits and wounds is pretty nice. I'd recommend taking him with the bolter drop squad.

**roflcakez**

Remove the jumping DC I'd say, they're good, but not really worth all those points, take them in a dp instead. Dont remove the SP 's, you want fnp.

And.. Am I the only one that thinks the furioso dread > DC dread? Yes, you get.. 1 more attack (2 on charge) for 1 less AV & WS... And I do love AV 13, so much harder to glance him to death.

You points were a little off. You'd only have 75 points remaining. Death Dreads with Grapples are 140pt.

Anyways, not a big deal. JP DC are better now that rage is a buff instead of a nerf. I'd say keep them and play test them to see if you can make them worth their points.

Roflcakez, I like the Furioso but I like the Death Dread more. The extra attacks and None Shall Stay My Wrath make up for the loss of AV. The one less WS is extremely minor as WS only plays a big part if they are different by large amounts.

Now, for your list CMJS123, The only thing I could recommend is to drop one DC from the drop pod unit and add a Chaplain. Also, drop a PF from one Assault Squad and give him a PW and MB instead.

That gives you a clean 1850.
