While having a think I have chose to do it slightly differently as I dont really fancy spending another 300quid on more models, as much I would like another drop pods its a bit overkill...

Right so I am now going with

Chaplain (joins DC)

2x Furioso dreads with searchlight and drop pods, one with magna grapple both with blood talons HF and melta
1x furioso dread with blood fists searchlight magna grapple and HF melta (anti armour guy)

troops

8x DC with bolters (for rapid fire then charge on turn after deploying, thanks relentless...) in drop pod
1 10x assault marines in drop pod with meltas in drop pod
3 10x assault marines with JP and either dual flamers, meltas or plasma guns/pistols

FA

x2 Attack bikes with MM

I would have to deploy my Attack bikes (of course) and two assault marine units on the board, of course in cover hiding and ready to go to ground, first turn will see 3 drop pods come in, either all 3 furioso's or 2 furiosos and the DC or assault marines depending on who I am facing and what mission, with locator beacons on all 3 dread drop pods I can choose which one needs help on my second go, as the assault marines have descent of angels they should really go second (the drop pod ones) the JP ones should also make it second turn with rerolls, they can then deepstrike right next to a juicy target or something that needs help and shoot, same with the DC they can deepstrike right in and rapid fire any infantry targets and get ready to rapid fire again then charge the next turn.

Still i have no anti air, I would look to ignore them, for anti tank I have the blood fist dread and another grapple and metla bomb on the chappy and two MM attack bikes, For any lower armour it would have to be krak nades really.

For objectives, both of the starting assault marines would go for a objective near my deployment on my second turn, the other JP deepstriking marines would be put either near enemy targets I need to take out or within reach of other objectives, attack bikes will help one of the furioso go for first blood and with this many deepstriking I should get line breaker and depending on my opponent I will go after their warlord.

Against other deepstriking opponents this is where I would suffer I think if I dont go second, i.e demons.... and deathwing.

Well bit more happier with this list as it isnt going to cost me so much and I think I have enough bodies in PA to be able to last until the end and have the mobility to get to objectives and get those two important points, first blood and line breaker

Opinions now?

I would have to buy 10 death company and 2 pods and a few assault marines to get this ready my other list with 9 pods and 4 dreads and same amount of assault marines would have just cost too much considering what else I have bought and intended to buy so it isnt 100% what i wanted but its cheaper...
