Ok, so like title says, this is my first go with a non-Chaos army since....late 3rd ed. (ish). So, trying to get a basic TAC list, lemme know what you guys think. Please let me know if there are any improvements i can make or how these combos actually work on tabletop. Like i said, i almost exclusively play Daemons, so this is well out of my comfort zone

So, Stalker there for anti flier, along with the Quad-gun which can pull double duty. Not exactly sure who ill keep back to man the Aegis line, perhaps ill combat-squad the footslogging Tac unit, and have half with the missile launcher manning the gun too. I love the idea of the Dev. Centurions with Tank Hunter and all those anti tank shots, but im unsure how well it will work in practice.

So, questions? Comments? Recommendations?

Well tbh honest I can't really tell what direction you're trying to go in here. You have Kantor so take advantage of scoring sternguard. The tacs look good but I'd drop the combi-grav. It seems out of place and after play tests it's just not good on non-relentless platforms. As for transports I'd either go all pod, all rhinos, or none at all. Those fellers are gunna be picked off easy with your current setup.

I'd also drop the terminators and push those points into more Sternguard. Also, drop heavy weapons on sternguard. Special issue ammo is their strength. Hell, unless you're podding them I'd drop the combis too. Dev cents are expensive but you said you like those so I'll leave them be.
I'm guessing the scouts are there to take advantage of the bolstered terrain?
