I have a Battle Company sitting in the wings, so I'm looking to mold the 4000+ point armada down to a usable all-rounder force. Slightly tailor-able depending on the Opponent, but basically the same.

Normally would like to use the Sternhammer Strike Force, but the offer of free transports was too tempting

I would drop the power fist on the first DEV squad no point if someone gets that close to use it your DEVs SGT won't make to much of a difference. Drop the fist and get flak missles for your second DEVs never hurts to have extra skyfire.

Getting a full company list into a 1,850 is tight, and you went for a moderately expensive Aux, which doesn’t help.

Your upgrade points are going to be tight, so you need to weight every option carefully.

The captain is OK. About the minimum I’d like to see him at.

What’s the Dev squad doing? You have a combo of guns that should never move (PCS) and ones that need to rush up to work (MMs) The sarge is massively over equipped. Pick a job and gear for it. A pair of GCs in a rhino could work, or 4xHBs just to sit back and shoot. Lots of options. But the sarge should probably be naked, and the guns should work together.

I don’t see you listing the jump packs for the assault squads, and they have to pay for them. In a full company list, I’d just got 2xFlamers in a pod or razor. Maybe a melta bomb on the sarge. Plasma pistols are overpriced, replace with a sword if you are going to spend points here. For the points spent on the evis, I’d rather upgrade a razor from TLHB to TLLC.

The tacs are just meat to be killed. I know that’s the style of list, but I’d like to see some points spent to give them guns.

Where is the chaplain going? He’s a force multiplier, with no squad to hang with. Stick him bare-bones in with an assault squad.

I like dreads, but he’s a chunk of points that you could spend better IMHO.

Assault squad is over equipped. Grav pistols are not quite as bad as plasma pistols, but still worth nowhere near the points you spend on them. If you do want to take it, pair it with an axe. That way the concussive on the pistol with help mitigate the unwieldy on the axe.

Dev squad’s guns are fine, but they should have a razor for the extra TLHB. The pod would be better filled with a tac squad.

Sormwing is fine. I prefer the TLAsC up top, the the TLLC works.

I’d shave as many points as possible from the list, and spend them upgrading the razors, or giving specials/matched combis to the tac squads.
