230 - Assault Squad (10) 2x MG PS MeltaBombs

200 - StormRaven

125 - Furioso Dreadnought

1000 Points

I would like some feedback on this army list please. This would be a complete army with no more expansion so the units have to be just right

How would it stand up to other space marine armies?

Thanks

I'd drop the Stormraven and take my chances with helldrakes. That's all the Stormraven is really good for, especially one without hurricane bolters. Get a drop pod for the dreadnought and grab some MM attack bikes. And upgrade the dread to a fragnought. I'd probably give one ASM squad flamers as well.

Oh, and give the priest an axe. And the libby an axe. Put them in a squad with a sarge with an axe. Deny all challenges. Still swing with two axes. Profit.

Fragioso in a drop pod= magically delicious. I like storm ravens, but you might get more use out of a Baal Pred at this points value, and in a pinch it can still be used for anti-air.

He needs some kind of anti-tank with a range greater than 6-12". MM attack bikes fill that role magnificently. They can pop weak AV from 24" and kill any AV at 12".

Baal preds never seem to work as advertised for me. I feel like it's just a lame attempt for the BA to be as cool as Eldar war walkers. The side AV 11 is murder.

Ok, but with the stormraven it can hover and the furioso could hop out and assault on the same turn...

That's how I interpreted the rulings anyway...

For the same points as the stormraven and furioso I could have sanguinary guard with chapter banner and two infernus pistols with another priest?

Its generally a really bad idea to have anything in the SR.

I'd either Pod the dread or take him out. SR will do well for AA and AT and has the makings of a solid list at this points level.

If you put anything in a stormraven they will not get into assault until the 3rd round BEST CASE scenario. It also makes the stormraven vunerable in order to drop off it's passengers. If the stormraven gets shot down everything without an invul save is gone. I might put some scouts or a 5 man squad in the stormraven to drop on last minute objectives, but that's about it.
