The way i intend to play the army is to use the chaplain, vanguard vets and storm raven to hunt heavy supports. the chaplain would charge first to stop overwatch.
The Sanguinor, and Sanguinary Guard/Ancient will deep strike and go for troops and light vehicles.
The assault squads will be 2 on the field and 1 in deep strike and they will do for objectives.

I recognise that having just the storm raven could leave me in a pretty bad spot once it goes down but I like the idea of a thematic flying list and the only other heavy support i have a preds and they're terrible atm.

anyway your thoughts are very welcome.

cheers.

Not sure you need 5 thunderhammers in the vanguards.

Twin MM is way overcosted on the raven. Use the typhoon launcher, imo.

I believe you have to have half of your army on the table start of turn one in a matched play game, but without the BRB in hand...I am not 100% on this.

You do. No more null deployment.

So does that mean if i deploy the vanguard vets and the chaplain in the storm raven that doesnt count as 3 units on the field?

Yes, it counts as one unit. Which is not 50% of your army.

Oh ok, I can just put all the assault squads on the board so 4 units on the board and 3 in deep strike.
