1500pts is a squeeze for this list. So some choices will look odd. Shout them out, and I'll see if I can address them. This is also very aggressive, which I don't play often. So tips on strategies would be great too.

Also I appreciate all criticism. Even people who say it won't work, as long as they specify why.

This list is about a turn 2 alpha strike, so I guess a beta strike. Temping my opponent to go full out due to my lack of models on the board on turn one. This should be difficult. I can hide the Griffons out of LoS, hide the 3 wolf guard (a counter assault unit) with them out of LoS, and only poke the lascannon out to take a pot shot on turn one from the CCS.

The empty drop pod is so I can decide if I want my melta in on turn one or not. It can also be used to LoS block something scary, or if I can save it until turn 2, to block enemy movement.

The RP can break off and kill a tank, hopfully glancing its rear armour (I assume its from the direction I'm aiming at - I normally take divination) with living lightning and assaulting it with melta-bombs. Or he can stick with the plasma squad and force initiative tests with JotWW. A very aggressive role.

The wolf guard are there to "tank" incoming fire with 2+ 3++. It works effectively in my experience.

Major concerns: Will the turn 2 alpha strike be effective? Have I got enough to kill enemies who come towards me? Have I got enough for opponents who sit back in cover? Have I got enough AP2, anti-tank and anti-horde? I tend to neglect anti-horde since I rarely come across it in my meta, but when I have it's been overwhelming.

Star Trek taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female...
