5 man assault squad 1 flamer- 105 (in pod)
5 man Assault squad 1 flamer- 105 (in pod)
5 man Assault squad 1 flamer- 105 (in pod)

captain goes w/ the combi plasma with chapter banner, ML2 lib goes with melta, ML1 goes with the plasma gun unit.

fist turn, (hopefully going second) the honor guard and 10 man assault unit drop. (I could drop Chaplin for another pod 5 man assault unit, but eh) chappy is with captain for reroll to hits. (yes captain replaced both his CCW and pistol with 2 LCs) hopefully all on one flank for a sweeping advance, (keeping 10 man assault unit in the priests bubbles) the following turn the rest come in on the opposite flank, and or objectives to clear them off with flamers and stuffs.

I made this list for a fun whoo-hoo list. but if you have any ideas that can make it "better" without changing the base of it (the honor guards) let me know! also just let me know your thoughts on the idea and what not!

Keep the Honor guards, it's interesting, just drop the Libbys and Assault Marines for Dante and Sang Guard as troops. You want elite DoA? Go hard or go home.

Hardly think JPs and DPs on the Honor guard is necessary. I'd just go with one or the other. Put them all in a drop pod and lose the Cap's pack or put them all on Packs and give the Chaplain one.

On units like Honor guard, more attacks are always good, so when you take power weapons, take pistols. Always take a banner for the +1 attack to everyone in the unit (including your LC Captain )

Vanguard Vets are awesome in a DoA list. They can tie up things in CC the first turn they come on, which should be your first turn. Take three units. If they have to be min squads with just JPs to "descend" then do it, that's three units of shooting (pathfinders, firewarriors, long fangs, riptides, Wraithknights, screamer stars, these units ringing any bells?) that you don't have to deal with on your opponents next turn before your Honor guard get to charge

hmm. see, I have 4 attacks on the charge with the honor guard load at as is, I just want to make use of the first turn drop in shooting, hence the combi weps. libs cast prescience next turn to reroll all shooting and CC attacks. though I may consider dropping the Captian so I only need 2 troops and replacing one of the HG with a VV.
