With that much armor on the board, you are probably hoping it lasts more than 1 turn. so consider swapping the lieutenant for a techmarine, to tinker a few poitns back on something and hop a piece of armor up a critical bracket for return fire, and give another piece of armor (probably the redempter dread) a +1 to hit.

Wow I actually forgot entirely that techmarines were a thing haha thank you I’ll make the changes! Also yeah I’m hoping that they last more than 1 turn which is why I’m glad DA have the extended range so I can set them back for the first turn.

Another trick you could think about, if you can find the points for it, would be to include a Ravenwing Darkshroud to give all those tanks a -1 to be hit. Might keep them on the board a little longer.

I mostly run those models for my ravenwing style of army which I’m hoping comes back again as viable. Back in 7th Deathwing and ravenwing used to be troops with the applicable HQ choices

yea thats not coming back, this being said sammael is also still our best HQ (named that is) which says a lot about the state of our HQ choices.

the darkshroud would be a good call, and the techmarine would be wise or a rhino primaris

I figured it wouldn’t come back would be nice though and our HQ choices need a buff and maybe a new sculpt. Looking at BA I’m hoping our codex doesn’t have any missing pieces and I would prefer to have the +1 plasma damage thing still other wise our lore gets a nerf also.
