Any thought?

Thanks

An issue I see is your target priority is really clear. Enemies have every reason to pour as much fire as they can onto your Land Raider and Knights, because nothing else in the list will make most opponents bat an eyelash.

I assume Ezekiel will be joining the Dev squad to give them TL so they don't just blow themselves up? I've never tried running 4 plasma cannons in a single squad before and it could be pretty rude if prescienced. It means your only real tank-hunting unit is your predator, though, because the multi-meltas in the Rhinos are going to need a turn to not move before they'd be able to pop anything, and that's assuming the Rhino can deliver them before exploding itself.

You also only have a single solitary flak missile to fight air, and that's just a waste of points. I like missile launchers, but one single S7 shot isn't going to do much against even AV10 flyers. You've only got a 66% chance to hit to begin with and still only have a 50% chance to pen.

Final verdict: You'll roll over anyone attempting to win with a horde list and that's about it. You'll struggle against Monstrous Creature spam, armor spam, and Sv2+ units.

And actually not benefit from being DA. A C:SM list could do that kind of stuff better.
