Our FLGS is changing up its monthly tournament and is doing a GW-style kill team day. What does this sound like for 200 points of Dark Angels?

10 man tactical squad with flamer and missile launcher, Rhino with 2 storm bolters.

Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I like it maybe a plasma cannon over launcher, imo.

Knowing Solo's luck it will overheat initially.

Looks good what spec rules you gonna take

Give the Plasma FNP.

I was going to give the missile launcher relentless. I'm avoiding thr plasma route as that would be 10% of my army risking death. Not sure about other specialists in the group. Probably going to give the sergeant Eternal Warrior.

Why take the plasma cannon? Missile launcher has better range, costs the same, and gives you 3 options for missiles without hurting yourself. A plasma gives you a blast template that scatters and burnt fingers. Is this an inside joke I'm just not getting?

As far as the Rhino goes, it looks good, but this is a question I"ve been having. Why do people take any dedicated transport over the Drop Pod with Deathwind missiles? It costs the same, holds the same, drops in on turn 1 for DA, plus that pie-plate... Am I missing something?

In this kill team game, reserves are not allowed, so drop pods would be effectively useless. for fhe same points, I have a mobile fire platform that my maeines may hide in or behind.

I would go for sniper scouts

I like it, but if your special weapons are knocked out you're relying on bolters. Keep in mind C:SM can throw a 5 man TH/SS unit at you. Flamers have never served me well in Kill Team as its easy to displace models and avoid them.
