Playing an 1850 point tournament, and it's my first. I was wondering what Dakka can find to hate about my list.

So the plan is to drop the dreads in on enemy armor / biggest threats and infiltrate the scouts to hopefully snipe an HQ. I'm linking the librarians up with 2 of the foot-slogging squads, and dropping the meltagun squad on a target of opportunity. I also want to just drop the LotD squad on a point and pitch a tent. If they kill something cool. If not... meh


So waddaya guys think, for a first timer?

You need to decide exactly what the purpose of each squad is going to be and what strategy you are looking to use. I would trade the dreadnoughts for thunderfire canons. Drop the hunters for sterngaurd and put everyone in a drop pod.
