hi there, first off, any reason in particular why ur using raven guard CT, then, whats up with the melta/HB tac squads, melta needs close range where as heavy bolter cant move, are you gunna split the squad, and devs with 4 lascannons seems like a nit of overkill, maybe explain to us the general strategy to help us out here

Ok fair enough. The ravenguard CT improve my assault marines as well as Give my rhinos with tacs scout. The Melta guns are to deal with tanks and High AP targets while the HB's allow good volume of fire given snap shots. As far as the las cannons devs go I have been having problems with armour spam and I would prefer not to dwell on individual targets For more than a Single turn.

General strategy is that the tac squad and stern guard pod in turn one while the rhinos scout forward. Assault marines move quickly towArds soft targets while devs and snipers over watch. Later the empty pod comes in wherever and the flyer comes in to handle other flyers or hard armour targets.

ok, makes sense, but uve gotta ask urself, can my list deal with a superheavy?... maybe buuttt idk, and can it deal with a death star centurion unit? tiggy makes em hard core, i think maybe ud be better with droppin the asm and storm raven andadding sum allies, either ig for a vendetta, or greyknights or somin

I am currently playwriting for a GT and while the major death stars are going to be an issue I know there aren't going to be any super heavies as they Aren't allowing escalation.

ok, so thats one prob dealt with, now, the deathstar units can be solved by throwing msu 's at them, massed shooting, or ur own death company death star

I have found generally that quantity of fire is the best solution for most big problems.
