Aux
Ravenwing Support: 3 speeders with typhoon / heavy bolter, + darkshroud 305

Command squad and multimelta dread pod in on Turn 1. Razorbacks sit behind/in cover in my dep zone, with the speeder squad sitting behind them.

Lots of Obsec but very little damage out put really. Would do my best to get AssCans and LasPlas on the razorbacks instead of the almost useless HBs

Would do great against certain enemies but lacks heavy hitting power. Would be a tyranid players worst nightmare. I do like the fact you put the melta users in the rhinos so you can flat out 12 and get near whatever you want to pop.

Not a bad thought -- maybe get rid of one dread, and pod in the assault squad instead of rhino-ing them (so as to still have 3 pods), and use the leftover points to upgrade to las-plas.

Instead of just pointing out each thing I would fix here is what I would do, now its not perfect and it lacks plenty of mobile objective grabbing but it has some damage output for sure. It has 10 las cannons(4 are twin linked) 2 dreads with MM for that one high value target and powerfists(should they survive), 4 pods with deathwind launchers to come down and deal with any massed infantry(not definitive but it will do something being large blast str5) also the 4 pods can blocks movement or force your opponent to shoot them, 6 razorbacks to create a parking lot of targets, and 2 semi beatstick characters. the plas cannons on the dev squads are because more las would be silly and plasma is just utility.

So you've got the sacred standard command with Grav which is great but why haven't you paired that with Grav devastators for relentless shenanigans.

Other than that the whole thing seems unfocused. If you want tank spam just go all razors but get them weapon upgrades. Rhinos are useless here so should never be taken. The other viable option is all pod.

Not convinced that rhinos are useless in 7th. I tend to play missions with at least some element of Maelstrom of War. Protection for and mobility for my obsec power armour dudes is frequently a game-changer.

Rhinos are useless in this detachment, not in 7th. You get everything you get from a Rhino but also a bigger gun for the same points by taking a Razorback. It's not like you have the firepower in the marine squads to get value out of the hatch.

Oh yeah, that's a fair point. I think I'd initially thought about combi-meltas in those squads. Still vaguely in 6th ed (no free transports) mode, mentally. Fortunately all my rhinos can be used as razorbacks too, modelling-wise!

fire ports do have value, but prolly not 20 points
