Pretty solid. I would make a few adjustments.

Your hell blaster Azzy blob could use a dark shroud for -1 to hit.

I suggest removing the vets and HBs from scouts.

I also like giving the lt a jump pack.. Makes him versatile in jumping out and counter attacking and grabbing objectives.

I'm sorry if I'm looking at your dev squads wrong but do they have 5 dudes in them ?

I totally agree with the dark shroud. I just don’t have one and won’t pick one up for a little while. The devs have 6 marines each. I try not to do the minimum with that unit. I should be able to find points for the jump pack. Thought I had already had one on him. If I don’t do a shroud, are vets ok. Tact or intercessors better. My thought was to use there bodyguard ability to protect azzy.

I would ditch the Vets IMHO. They really don't do much for you especially without a transport. I would take a 3 man bike squad over them. They put out more shots and you can add a Plasma or 2 on to them to add to your Plasma saturation.

They are good at being blockers against units wanting to get in CC with your Hellblasters and can grab objectives. They add to your lack of small arms fire as well.

The Devs could still be reduced to 5 and be as effective.. even more with the Cherub. Don't forget to use that Cherub at the first opportunity then the Sgt and the non HW guy can be sacrificed to die first. You really don't need that 6th guy. Ether way... get the Cherub.

One more thing... do you play the LVO Champions missions ? if so, consider reducing your hellblaster squads to 9 instead of 10

Thanks for the help. I think I have the final draft.
