He plays agressive dropping the giant Farsight Deathstar in the middle of they're deployment, and not scattering. The Riptide takes up shots while dropping blasts.

I'm hoping to bring....

Libby and Terminators in the Land Raider will draw fire making the enemy hopefully have to choose between shooting this squad, the riptide, or the farsight deathstar. Both tacs drive up in the rhinos to cap objectives, scouts stay on an objective in the back either shooting up monstrous creatures, TRYING to cause pinning tests, and TRYING to hit characters, heavy weapons, and sergeants. The preds focus enemy tanks.

I think the lists would do well together, but I would test out a couple games and see how they do.

What I'm trying to ask is, how I would play using my army alone, and how i could synergize with him. I've tried a few games and they were all meh at best.

Make sure you use your las cannons wisely, shooting them before other items to pop all armored things, also communication is KEY
