what do people think?

Interesting. Very deadly vs foot lists, but seems weak vs mech.

I hate the Sanguinor in general, but maybe he'll work for this list. I'm a big fan of independent characters in 6th so they can join squads and benefit from LOS.

The Aegis Defense Line doesn't feel like it fits in this list. Your longest range weapon is the Vindicator @ 24", so if you're holding position, all you have is cover and no offense. If your opponent has anything with longer range, he'll just sit back and out shoot you. That forces you to be really aggressive and then you're not using the ADL at all.

Take a peak at this Mech Line and tell me what you think. Its kind of got a similar inspiration, but its geared towards long range and utilizes the ADL for defense (also GK Warp Quake and Servo Skulls to prevent deployment/reserves from closing).

I like your list but feels fairly weak against a mainly infantry force to me ( as I play a lot of '30-70' mainly infantry armies ). I do agree with the sanguinor but just couldn't resist shoving him in for a centrepiece! What would you suggest to replace the aegis defence line (and possibly sanguinor), drop pod for dread?

Armies that mass infantry bodies like that are going to have weapons that will bounce off my armor, and will only begin to be threatening inside 24". That gives me plenty of time to (A) crack their transports and slow them down even further, (B) whittle their numbers significantly at any of my effective volume ranges (@48 = 8 Lascan, 2 Autocan, 1 Quadgun = 16 shots; @36 = + 5 Heavy Bolters = + 15 additional shots; @24 = 2 AssCans, 2 Plasma = + 10 additional shots; not counting the Stormraven), (C) pop out at assault range with some Preferred Enemy Assault Marines. I'm not saying that this list is going to smack down any and all who oppose it. I'm just saying that I'm sitting in a nice defensive position with cover, and having high volume fire and some good low AP fire, and I'm making you do the work of coming to me.

Also it feels like you are over spending points on Sanguinary Priests. Keep the one with the Jump Pack. It should be able to cover both 10 man Assault Squads. Trade ADL, Sanguinor, and two Priests for Jump Libby and Stormraven and a squad of Death Company.
