So this is pretty my old 7th Edition list ported into the new system, and I'd like some input for updating it to be effective now.

Flamer squad goes in the Rhino, Melta squad goes in the Drop Pod, Death Company and Librarian drop in, Captain and Command Squad drop in, Devastators sit in the back field, and I rely on target saturation to let the Furioso advance on foot.

I think the Command Sqaud hasn't gotten a lot better this edition, but I think the rest will need tweaking to be effective in 8th. So, thoughts?

Flamers are bad, way to expensive. Relic blade is wasted points, to expensive. I dont like drop pods, i think 83 pts can be put to better use. Use JP if you want to deepstrike, its much cheaper, and it gives your models 12" move. Unless you want to deepstrike something that cant use JP. Frag cannons are insanely overpriced. Furioso dread is not worth the points, use it as DC dread, well worth the points.

206 gets you a redemptor dread. Which is pretty nice, really.
