I made this to take best advantage of the Raptors Tactics and the rules for Lias Issodon.

I feel I have a good mix of anti armor and anti infantry. My number one weakness would be against flyers. I left out anti air because most of the people I play against feel that taking a lot of airpower makes you a dick. So I rarely find myself facing more than a single flyer. I just don't know what to do with my last 25 points without just wasting them. Any suggestions?

Update; decided to drop the Armorium Cherub from the Devs and replace the flamer weapons with gravs and combi gravs to make up those last 25 points. The plan (which I left out of the original post) is to infiltrate the Tactical Squads using Issodon's Master of ambush rule, and have them either make up a stationary gunline to take advantage of Heavy 1 Rending bolters,. Or I can combat squad them and use the special weapons to move up the field. Issodon will go with the Dev squad in cover, lending them his Shrouded cover bonus. The combination of Issodon, the Damocles Rhino and the LotD reserve and deep strike modifiers all add up to me being able to get my Legion on target in a fairly reliable fashion.

Hi, I sometimes run a similar list @1850pts, Lias, 3 full Tactical squads with all grav and 7 lotd squads of 5 (4 squads from the LOTD codex detachment), each with a multi melta, melta gun & combi grav. Lots of fun, struggles with objectives sometimes due to lacking mobility.

So i'd suggest trading out the heavy bolters for Grav Cannons in the tactical squads, use small squads of 5 LOTD, I really like the melta route & combi grav, hits hard vs tanks and does okay vs most other heavy stuff. The combi melta instead of the combi grav has some merits though.

Id definitely trade in the dev squad, for some scout squads in landspeeder storms, gives you more infiltrators and mobility for objective taking. Finally, an Inquisitor, with servo skulls really helps stop enemy infiltrators!

LOTD imo, are a really underestimated part of the SM codex, Lias fits perfectly with them.
