Tactical marines go in storm ravens and drop out to burn. ravens anti tank/AA duty
assault marines and terminators in drop pod disrupt back field
death company and chaplain roll up as do sang guard with sang priest and dante. can deep strike the sang guard if needed for anti tank duties

thanks!

Anyone?

Looks good, just a few recommendations:
-Assault Termies, while cool models, aren't really that good. I would drop them and replace them with another DC unit (also, give them Jump Packs)
-I would also drop your Chaplain, just compensate for the lack of hatred with more blood-crazed lunatics
-Instead of bringing your Tac Squads in Stormravens, consider Razorbacks with Lascannon & TL Plasma Gun turrets. Since BA Razorbacks are fast, you can move up the whole 12" and throw a Lascannon and TL Plasma shot at the enemy.
-With the Tactical squads in Razorbacks, I would still keep one Stormraven, purely for anti-air purposes. With the points used for the other, you can take a couple of fast Vindicators. They can move up 12" and lob a S10, AP2, Ordnance pie plate in your enemy's face.
-In a competitive scenario, you want Jump Packs on your Assault Marines. Drop pods can bring them in closer to their target, but it means that they won't have the mobility to catch up with whatever they may be shooting at or to get away from what may be shooting back at them

Thanks for the reply and tips.
Instead of the chaplain what about a Lvl 2 Librarian w/jump pack? He can go with Dante and friends and beef em up more?
I was originally considering the razorbacks, mainly for the screening of the jump troops.
And whoa no drop pods for the assault marines? Usually everyone swears by them. However because of Dante their drop should be accurate enough I suppose. Would you still leave them as 5 man though?
And I assume you mean vindicators and not fast razorbacks haha
