This list is meant to be fairly competitive and slightly anti-daemon (mainly MCs), I did not take sternguards as they tend to die after turn 1, I've noticed that while they can easily kill a MC upon drop-podding, the daemon player just assaults them turn 2 and the Hellfire rounds are then useless.

So, here we go:

Headquarters:

Chaplain, bolt pistol, warlord, 100pts
Librarian (lvl1), PP, force axe, null zone , avenger, 115pts

Troops:

Tactical, flamer, HB, srgt with chainsword/BP and MBs in rhino, 210pts
Full scout squad, all snipers, HB, cloaks, 180pts
Tactical (x5), srgt with chainsword/BP, razorback, TLLC, 130pts

Elites:

Assault Termies (x5), in LR with MM, SB, 470pts
Dreadnought, TLLC, ML, 145pts

Fast Attack:

Stormtalon Gunship, TML, 135pts
Attack bikes (x2), MM, 90pts

Heavy Support:

TFC, 100pts
Contemptor Mortis, dual Kheres ACs, CML, 215pts

Fortifications:

ADL, quad-gun 100pts

Total: 2000pts

Overall tactics:

The TFC will go in a reinforced ruin with the scout squad, most likely camping an objective.
The 5 man tactical will sit at the quad-gun and both dreads and the TLLC razorback will sit in cover shooting from a distance and implementing a no-fly zone.
The LR will carry the termies/chaplain/libby and create a moving Null Zone until it's time to hammer some MCs; I will also most likely use the flashlight on turn 1 to utilize the longer range of my other guns. I'm hoping to bait the MCs into the open with the LR since he won't have the firepower to pop it from distance and then use the lascannons, snipers and MLs to take them out or at least weaken them for the hammers.
The full tact in rhino will be on troop-killing duty, supported by the bikes, TFC and Stormtalon.

Thoughts?

Nothing?

Howdy.

Only new to the game so don't wanna critique your list .
However, your points are off on the razorback squad and the stormtalon typhoon.

Cheers

I'll check, thanks.

You were right about the razorback: I forgot the points for the TLLC upgrade, the stormtalon is correct however (as per the updated DFTS book).

I like the list you have made here. It has a good amoint of threats. One thing I do not prefer however is the ML on the dread. Its a solid choice but I have found that its almost a wasteof points for me as it is still onoy one shot. If you keep the fist instead you can have a hybrid unit that can deter an area with the lc but also deter for DS assault and other shenanigans. Of course it truly matters for the area you play, but in my area there is a large amount of distraction units and having 2 gns at one shot each always screwed me over. I do really like the list though.
