The MotF and inquisitor hang at the back with the devastators.
Melta marines start on the board, with flamer.marines following in subsequent turns.
Speeders deep strike near to the melta marines drop pods, taking advantage of no scatter.
The flagellants etc al grabv chute in, preparing to charge hordes, hugging cover on arrival. 36 s5 attacks plus later bonuses from the priest and anything given by the psykers? Yes please.

Thoughts?

Any thoughts at all?

I'll probably never play it, though I do like to theory-hammer lists out!

1. I don't think the Gorgon's Chain is worth it on a MOTF since they've only got 2 wounds.
2. Drop the lascannon devs and speeders for preds or dreads to capitalize on IWND.
3. I'd personally keep the 3 drop pod tactical squads with meltas and go for 3 plasma tac squads in assault cannon razorbacks.
4. There's still probably too much infantry in there for my taste, I can't say much about the inquisition and assassin bits but it needs more SM amour units.

Marine armour units? I'm surprised tbh, I thought they were largely overcosted for what they do?

Depends which ones really. Rifleman dreads and tri las preds are generally recognized as being good, especially with IWND. Razorbacks are a matter of taste, Raiders are definitely over priced though.

i would perhaps be worried that the drop pod marines would be a little too small to have any effect. Also a single meltagun is not as good as 2
