I wanted to make a themed list on the crimson fists and use the chapter tactics of Bolter Drill and Siege masters to full effect, which means lots of bolters and lots of devastators.. Also using Pedro means (amont other things) that the Sternguard also are scoring. The 10-man tacs would combat squad, leaving me with 3
Tac squads with
HB to hold my own objectives and drill those bolters.. two counter-assault scoring units with flame weapons in razors. 5 Scoring units at 1250 should be pretty good! By deploying in refused flank I should be able to maximize Pedros 12" bonus as well.. the idea is basically a gunline as you probably understand.
What do you think?

Good, bad, ugly? Viable? I do feel I lack
CC power, so for 1500 I'd probably add termies. But at this level, I can't justify it. A dread perhaps?
