Deepstrike the drills and vanguard

Move up infantry with CP and hoplites follow.

The infantry only make it 12 inches across the table turn one before dying, probably without ever making it to combat. I dont see how this could ever work

Its fun but you miss out on our strong shooting id ditch the electropriests they dont do much unless you can get them to the frontline e.g lucious but thst would give you too much DS also why ryza if your not takeing plasma kataphrons. Hoplites are solid but 3 squads of 10.

Despite the fact that they can now have a transport, I remain unconvinced about the Electropriests. I suspect they'll be quickly wiped off the board before you can give them their 3++.

Also you seem to be lacking a bit in anti-tank firepower. You have plasma, but it's short ranged and if you're using the transports for the Electropriests and Hoplites (at least I'm assuming you are), your opponent will have a good couple of turns before the plasma is even in range.

The transports are only holding max 12 models so the plasma goes in there. The strat from Ryza is +1d and +1 to wound on plasma so its s8 -3 3 damage.

The priests run forward with the strat.

Yes we no what ryza does its just not as efficient on vanguard as it is on kataphrons and you can only use it on squad
