The Tactics:
The Assaults combat squad, putting two meltas + 3 guys in the pod hopefully pops a tank turn 1. The rest can camp on the home objective.
Dante and the Sang G. comes in on turn 2, and can deepstrike without scatter anywhere. This means that they can stand 3 inches from the rear armour of almost any tank. And hopefully 2 Infernus pistols can finish the job.
Thanks to the 2+ Save, they can hopefully survive to assault turn 3, when they can tear up pretty much everything if they get 2 swords and 3 axes + Dante. Downside is anything with AP2, but what can you do...
Funny thing is that Dante makes the Sang G scoring, and no scatter. Hello Relic-snatch!

Tacticals and Sternguards can boost up the field in their Rhinos, covered by the predator as they go. Sterns have Meltas vs any tanks and flamers if there are hordes on the move. Tacticals have plasmas vs any terminators etc and a lascannon which can snapfire at any tanks or air. Might be that I combat squad the tacticals and parks the lascannon in cover somewhere. The Whirlwind provides some blasts against hordes and the predator give me a can opener. The Dread is for any fliers that wanna mess up my day, TL autocannons maximize the snap shots that hit.

The baal can either outflank and hopefully support my deep strikers. Or he can scout up and hopefully do some early damage. Given the flamestorm he can hurt both Marines, all kinds of hordes and most importantly Jinked Light Skimmers/Bikes! Heavy Bolters gives some extra punch if that rear armour shot comes in or need to cut down some extra Orks.

The Priest and Librarian can join in whereever the battle requires. They can drop in the pod with the assaults, and positioned good they give FNP to the Dante-squad. The Librarian can go Divination and help boosting things or telepathy and mess with the opponent. Invisibility on Dante would be awesome! Or both Priest and Libby can go backfield with the Tacticals and Sterns, giving a strong and survivable ranged support.

My dilemma is really what to do with my last 10pts. Either a combi-weapon (plasma I think) on Libby or Priest, which then goes with the Tacticals. Or a Powerfist on the Sang. Guard. so they can charge tanks.

Any C&C is welcome!
Thanks and Happy New Years!

Both Dante and Sanguinary Guard are disasters. They are way overcosted.

Sternguard should be 9 X and in a pod with Corbulo.
