How's this?
It is meant to be fun to play, not competitive. I play my brother a lot. If it is of any importance, I have experience with necrons, and grey knights.

If you don't care about being competitive, it doesn't matter what you field as long as its legal.

ok, is it viable though? Will it stand some sort of chance against plague marines+helldrake. I don't want auto-win, but I do want something from my army before it dies.

i love how hipster the player base has become. /sarcasm The double speak is deafening.

Don't ever take a Typhoon on the Stormraven. Ever. Keep the MM.

If you have more Sang Guard, I would run them instead of the Tac Marines.

Well, if you roll a 1 or 2 for the Stormraven reserve roll, you probably lost the game right there.

Putting the STormraven into hover mode will probably be the last turn it does anything.

Blood talons suck against plague marines, and sanguinary guard aren't much better.

The helldrakes can easily barbeque your tactical squads and then you lose if you don't table him.

unfortunately I have no more sanguinary guard.

Also, doublespeak? I meant fun to play, but not in a way that guarantees that I automatically lose. Like death company. They are fun with their rage, and killy aspects, but they tend to kill a couple things before they go. I have no experience with sanguinary guard, dante, or much about tac squads either. I never stated that I wanted to lose - only have fun.

Martel732, what kind of list do you propose then?

Well. If you are going to run Dante, I'd put him with a regular ASM squad. That way, you can get 5 melta shots from an accurate deep strike on a scoring unit that Dante can tank for. He's not the best tank, but he can suck up a lot of plasma if he's got FNP. LoS the S8+ stuff so he doesn't instagib. The squad can also have triple power axes with a SP, and you can deny all challenges.

This lets you put a powerfist or two in those sanguinary guard squads that can't be challenged. POwer fists kill plague marines MUCH better than power weapons.

I'd run the Stormraven with a MM and probably empty.

For anti-tank, maybe some MM attack bikes are in order. They also benefit from SP.

I personally don't consider DC fun, because good players neuter them with shooting or movment or both. Being able to be easily neutered is not fun for me.
