(Not overly shore if this should be in army list or tactics forum?)

Any advise to slap my SM back into form would be a great help.

Anillation Barge

I would start by losing 2 tact squads, you don't need 5 troops at 2k. That will free up some points, I would:

-get a transport for your other tact
-bring some sternguards with combi-weapons and a pod to kill something critical on turn 1
-or bring some th/ss termies to handle the wraiths

Top target priorities:

-annihilation barge, it's got range and can pump out a lot of shots
-wraiths, it has speed and will shred most units in CC
-scarabs, they will tie you up forever

Hope this helps
