I've recently been running into a spat of Helldrakes at 1k. They tend to be the heavy unit, with other units usually just troop choices. I contemplated just going with one Stormraven, as my Aegis hasn't been having luck killing them before being roasted, but figured if they are going to pull a Helldrake that kills my army at 1k, I'd like to make the army a bit harder to kill(and less dependent on getting my Stormraven in the same turn his Helldrake arrives). In short, I'd appreciate comments on this list, especially your thoughts on its matchup against Helldrakes at 1k. We've been doing mostly city maps, hence the Redeemer.

Terminators, including librarian, start in the Land Raider.

HQ
Librarian - Terminator Armor, Storm Shield, Sanguine Sword, Blood Boil - 145 pts

Troops
Tactical Squad - 1x sergeant, 4x marines - 90pts
Tactical Squad - 1x sergeant, 4x marines - 90pts

Elites
Terminator Assault Squad, 5x TH/SS + Dedicated Transport: Land Raider Redeemer - 465pts

Heavy Support
Stormraven Gunship - TLAA, TLMM - 200pts

Total: 990

Ummm. You're only two scoring units have no protection from the Heldrakes. Put an ASM squad in a LR and walk the terminators, who have the 2+ save.

Good thought.
