Well, servitors can only have 2 plasma cannons. And that costs 130 points, leaving you with another 40 points.

I would drop the techmarine and add a command squad in drop pod with 3 combi-plasma or 2 plasma guns, whatever you prefer. (exchanging lion roar for regular combi plasma to save 10 points).

so if someone wants to run from you, drop that pod and stick the hot stuff up his a... Yes it's smaller than cannon but for the backdoor entrance its still enough of a pain.
And you can even kill fliers with them

My question is where are the scoring units? I only see 1 tactical squad of 6 with a plasma cannon as a scoring unit. You would need Belial to make the terminators troops. With the list as it stands all the DE would have to do is suicide one squad to kill the tactical squad and then sit behind LoS blocking terrain until turn 5. With their overall mobility it would be easy to stay out of LoS or out of range.

Yeah, I totally missed that. Good call.

actually he has 6 times 5 man tacticals with plasma. I thought about the same thing but when i added points i realized he has already maxed hi troop choice.
Hence the 25 plasma cannons: 12 from devastators, 6 from tactical, 3 from terminator and 4 (actually just 2,m see above) from servitors

ignoring the techmarine i like this kind of armies. For the techmarine, i still think the point cost and setup is illegal.

One chance, if it works, its great, if opponent has counter, well...
better luck next time.
Back in the old days, when i played with greenwing, i had plasma cannons and plasma guns, all modeled on those robed dark angels that used to be pretty rare. Plasma was the trademark of Dark Angels (at least fluff wise). So from this perspective definitely try it out.

Also, bring that army against your local Deathwing player. Even though plasma cannon doesn't bring a lot on the table he will have some serious psychological issues
