This list is similar to some recently successful builds, although I eschew spamming more Sanguinary Guard for Invictor Tactical Warsuits, which I think combined with their flat 3 damage fist and flat 2 damage gun, along with shock assault/savage echoes/red thirst makes them incredibly potent at a pretty cheap cost. That they pair well with the 30 scouts to cover the mid-board in deployment is a Nice bonus. If you can play some what cagey during turns 1 and 2 your turn 3 should be quite devastating, even with suffering expected casualties during the first two turns.

Looks interesting, although I don't like Scouts.

How do you play it?
Deployment of Scouts and Dreads/Warsuits from the very start, with Warsuits close to the enemy.
Deep striking of DC and SG in round 2.
However, attacking the enemy in waves (Warsuits in round 1 and deep strikers in round 2) is questionable.
