So the idea with this list is to ruin any gun lines' day and generally fun for me.

How im going to try and win - kill their scoring units, and win by secondarys. but overall have fun

So without further a do.
Heres the List, Codex: BA:

HQ:
Astorath the Grim - 220

Reclusiarch - 160
- Power Fist, Plasma Pistol

Troops:
Death Company x10 - 290
- 3 PS, PA, TH, 5 BP/CCW

DC x10 - 265
- bolters, DP, 2 Infernus pistols

DC x 5 - 250
- Jump packs, 2 Hand Flamer, 2 Infernus Pistols, PF

DC Dread - 135
- HF, Fists

Heavy Support:
Storm Raven - 200
- TL LC, TL MM

Storm Raven - 230
- TL PC, TL MM, Hurricane Bolters

1750 on the dot.


Astorath goes with JP DC, and if rules allow it, into the second raven.

CC DC go with reclusiarch in raven without Hurricane Bolters with the dread aswell ( he may go in other raven to avoid too much collateral damage... )

Other DC go in pod for a distraction

I take second turn with everything in reserve pod come in on my turn and the enemy then cant knock me out from not having any units on the board at the end of the turn ( unless i get unlucky annd mishap with the pod )
Then i Fly in and kill any other flyers with the ravens, move to where i need to be, go into hovermode and charge into whatever needs to die


Now dont tell me to get scoring units as that is not the point of this army, just tell me any improvements you can see to make, without changing the units too drastically eg. 'this weapon would be better than that' etc...
Or should i remove 1 / 2 of the bolter DC and the EA upgrades on the vehicles and add a character to the unit like a libby / chappy / preist with a combi / PW ?
Or take a reclusiarch instead of a chappy ?

Death Company is always fun to play with, but there is a main problem with your list and deployment strategy.
In the main rule book under the rules for Reserves it clearly states that only 50% of your army can be in reserve and the other 50% has to be placed on the table. With your current deployment this is not the case!!

Units on transports that must start in reserve don't count against this. He might be able to tweak the list to take advantage of this.
