So I played a game today vs this list(sorry I don't know names):
2 land raider crusaders with 5 termies with smash hammers and one with Ezekiel.
Belial with 5 term with hammers and those shields which came in turn one.
3 bikes with two plasma.

Purge the alien

My list was tactical heavy and with squad of snipers, lascannons and missle launcher squad.
And stern squad which popped a land raider. Then they were smashed by Term
My talons came in to late with sky hammer

So I don't want to buy ton of new models like bikes but I have my own land raider and other models but how would you play this list as a straight codex list? If it wasn't purge the alien I think I would of been ok?

Basically lots of cheap guns and Value armor.

Assault cannon backs, green marines, scouts, just drown him in bodies and use your numbers to overwhelm him.

Thundernators even knights are simply incapable of handling focused efforts.

The land raide. Is basically going to be glanced to death sorry only way its going to die

Ezekiel is a push over he only has 2+ armor

Belial is overpriced he costs as much as a chapter master with an equivalent loadout to his own but has the statline of a captain. He rolls over as soon as he faces a better raw statline to his.

Always deny him equal trades when he attacks something, make his expensive units kill piles of units before theyve made even trades.

To handle deepstrikes have units simply sitting there waiting for them anticipate the deepstrike and counter.

If he assaults from a raider the counter is simple feed him the unit and then surround him and shoot him.

Your army really shouldn't be over the halfway mark of the field unit his army has blown its load, and once it's spent run roughshod over whatever's left.

assault marines are a great counter unit for terminators and I'll explain why, if he deepstrike charge them in and stall, Gank him once the assault marines are dead, if he charges a Weakend unit charge in and slow him down to again setup.

also las or plas devestators in a heavy fortifications like bastions or the fortres. Because he can't hurt them until he's cracked the building and he he will make a real dogs dinner out of it. All the while he's losing very expensive men to lascannons and plasma cannons.

I had 30 tacticals, 7 scouts, 20 devs. It fells like I had a ton on the table. We called game early as it was a learning game for us both. So maybe if kept going I'd be ok. I just felt like she was about to smash all my faces in. 2 land raiders threw me off too.
