**Khaine's Wrath**

Just play tested my sternguard kill team, and over the course of 3 games I've titivated a my team, let me know what you guys think and how it can be improved further?

Sergeant - fleshbane
multi melta vet - relentless
normal vet - ignores cover (Or maybe shrouded)
5 x normal vets
Iron hands chapter tactics.

Its 8 guys in total, and all but one has special issue ammo. Iron hands mean they all have 6+ feel no pain.

Thoughts?

**Arbiter**

looks good enough to me!

**Khaine's Wrath**

So shrouded or ignores cover on the third vet with a normal weapon? Or a different specialty all together? Perhaps something different on the Sgt? But getting those kills on 2+ improves his upgrades!

**Gorgosaurusrex**

The Sergeant is fine with Fleshbane. Ignores Cover isn't the best use as Dragonfire Rounds can already do that. Maybe give him rending or something like that?

I would also go with Imperial Fists over Iron Hands. The 6+ FNP is nice but isn't Bolter Drill nicer?

**Eldarain**

Bolter drill doesn't work with special ammo. Which is lame.

**Desubot**

You can take two heavy or special weapons

Why not change one to perhaps a las cannon. with preferred enemy to help with hitting.

**Arbiter**

Hmm maybe a heavy flamer with rending or shread?

**Khaine's Wrath**

The issue is range seems key, and to take a second heavy weapon I need to drop a vet, and numbers also seem key. I wasnt sure on ignores cover, But it means I can give vengeance rounds ignores cover. and as the best armour save allowed in KT is 3+ I thought that would make a pretty formidable combo!
