So I've been working on a list for 1000pts and thought some feedback/suggestions on where to go for that next 500pts would be good.

So far I was looking at:

Belial

Dreadnought w/ TL Lascannon/Missle Launcher

x5 Deathwing, Assault Cannon, Chainfist
x5 Tactical, Plasmagun, TL Heavy Bolter Razorback, Hunter-Killer Missle
x5 Tactical, Plasmagun, TL Heavy Bolter Razorback, Hunter Killer Missle

x3 Ravenwing Bikers, Plasmagun. Sgt w/Meltabombs

Not opposed to swapping Belial for a PA Librarian, might be good to buff some plasma shooting. Though i do like having a Third Troop choice at the 1000pt mark.But I will be moving this list up to 1500 soln and was curious what I could throw in to make it solid. Not playing in any tourneys and fun suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Good list overall, but leave the HK missiles at home. Ten points single shot? Not worth it.
Your Troops seem solid (DSing the Termies?)

The biggest problem I see is the Dreadnought. It simply seems a little out of place, being the slowest unit in the army.

Other than that, the list seems fine. Little light on AT so that must be tought at 1500. A good addition would be to have a 5 Tac marines with Las/Plasmacannon to hold objective and give valuable support to your troops.

P.S. Am I nothing the Dark Vengeance here?

I was thinking about using the Terminators/ Belial to catch things between them and the Tacticals/Dread. I know he's a little slow, but he does have the 48" ranged weapons to keep active.

With the exception of Belial and the Razorbacks, its all DV models haha I don't actually have any of them, but figured they'd be cheap to purchase, and fill in the bulk of the 1000pts. I wasn't super sure what to throw in for next 500pts, if I drop the HK missles, that leaves the Dread and Meltabombs on the RW Sgt. so I'd need something Las or Melta, or I do have 3 empty Heavy Support slots haha

How about those LS Vengeance with their Plasma Pie? Lol they seem cool/fun but just as likely to melt themselves as the enemy. I would like to stay as DA themed as possible as I already have a bit over 2200pts of Salamanders which are kind of geared towards a gunline set up, sonsome new/different elements ( deathwing or ravenwing, special characters etc.) would be preferred.

Thanks for the reply!

If you go to bump up a few more points a little combo i enjoy using is a Librarian with the lions roar artifact and the shield generator with a plasma cannon squad of devastators behind a aegis defense line. its a nice little fire support option and the re rolls along with the invul save helps mitigate gets hot. Also the quad cannon will do a little for AA.

If you drop the two HK's you could upgrade the heavy bolters on one of the razorbacks (Twin Las or perhaps Las/Plas), better than a one-shot in my opinion :-)

I would stay away from LS Vengeance. After all it's still a Land Speeder with AV10 so it dies to bolterfire. Even quicker than the normal ones who seem innocent enough to survive a couple of turns.

Darkshroud instead can work as a good supporting unit if you have Ravenwing.

Not a bad list. I'd say pull those HKs off of the vehicles though, adn spend the points elsewhere. And I agree with using it to Lascannon one of the Razorbacks.
