Looking to put together a 1000 point Death company list that can hold it's own ok. Plan is to get everyone down asap and charge in turn 2 with everything.

You are seriously lacking anti-tank. Maybe you only ever see infantry, but a single Death Company Dreadnought in a Drop Pod isn't enough. Even throwing Missile Launchers onto the Scouts will help.

I'd also drop the Power Weapons for Power Fists, you'll get better mileage out of them. And probably the Shotguns for Bolters just for the little extra range, because presumably you're camping objectives with them.

Make two squads of scouts CC scouts and give all scout sergeants meltabombs. Each DC squad needs a powerfist.

So I agree that more anti tank is needed. The issue is points. I can take off the camo cloaks to save some points and change a scout squad to bolters and a missile launcher. However, there aren't enough points to add a power fist to the Death Company squads (I have them in my bigger lists), or melta bombs. Though melta bombs may be easier to add if I drop the cloaks. The only issue then is I'll need to keep the scouts back initially to save their cover saves.

Just not sure what to do here.

I like the idea of the scouts getting in shotgun range t1 and it's easy to do so I'm not worried about the range so much. I'd love to add fists, etc but I don't know where I'd find the points
