My idea for the drop pod is to be situational depending on the army I face either place the tacticals inside or place the devastators with chaplain support also place an HQ each into the razorbacks. Have the heavy move around as needed and the dreads for some scare/shooty tactics.

This list looks pretty fun! It won't win any tournaments or anything but it would look cool on the table and be fun to play with or against. If you wanted to make it a little bit stronger, you might consider dropping one of the Tac squads and replacing the Captain with Azrael. You might also consider spending a CP to give the Lieutenant the Teeth of Terra relic to make him much more dangerous.

It's cool to see the Firstborn getting some love instead of nothing but Primaris stuff, and this is a fairly classic type of Space Marine list from yesteryear. Since you said you already have the models all painted for this, I bet they look really cool all lined up for battle! I really need to paint more of my own Firstborn guys, although since I tend to play more competitive games my Primaris models are higher priority.

I had actually thought of taking azrael but my captain hasn’t gotten a lot of play since 7th edition so I wanted to bring him out more. Since I’ve been playing so long I have a nice selection of painted models and this is more the list I used to run in 7th since ravenwing and Deathwing could be troops back than. Primaris is also on my painting block but I’m very behind with them besides the HQ choices I have finished. I’m more of a casual player than anything so this list just sounded very fun in my head!

I’d stick an apothecary in it. Heal the plasma devastators when they die.

I was gonna put an apothecary but pound wise I wasn’t to sure cause 50% they may just sit in the backfield so not a lot of weapons would focus on them turn 1 or 2 depending on how the advanced units are handled

Even on backfield you can reliably overcharge knowing apothecary can bring one back every turn.

Will get his points back better than company champion

So here’s a few changes based on feedback to add the apothecary
