This is my idea for relatively fluffy DA list. I do not plan on taking this list into any tournament setting. Any C&C is welcome and appreciated as I am an inexperienced player at best.

HQ: Belial w/SoS/SB 190
Librarian w/PFG 95

Troops:
10x Tac w/PlasG,PlasC 170
10x Tac w/PlasG,PlasC 170
10x Tac w/PlasG,PlasC 170
5x DWT w/CF&CML 250

HS:
7x Dev w/4 Las 178
Vindicator w/dozer/SB 135
Vindicator w/dozer/SB 135

Total: 1,493.

General Plan: Librarian sits in the back and buffs the Devs, who blast away at scary things from cover. The Vindicators advance up one flank and likely draw a ton of fire. Belial and the 5 man termies DWA on turn 2 wherever they are most needed. I may combat squad one of my tactical squads to babysit my home objective while the 25 other tactical marines advance up the middle. If I were to expand this army to 2000 I think I would increase Belial's squad to 10 and potentially add a squad of DW Knights or a few rifleman dreads. Any thoughts?

Concerns of mine: I wonder if I should drop Belial, the extra bitz on the Vindicators and the CF on the terms to get Azrael, but I don't really know what I would do with him. Am I way off the mark with Belial in the first place?

Azrael is only good for big games to make all of your bikes and terms troops without bringing belial or sammael. Belial>azrael in close combat any day of the week. I would take the assault cannon over the CML for eating up infantry as well as hitting the rear of tanks. If you dont use your terms right they will die to 1 round of shooting first turn they arrive. One way you might combat that would be to clear out some points and add rhinos to 2 of your squads to get them across the field faster thus drawing fire from the terms when you deepstrike. Overall not a bad list just watch how you use the terms of you will have wasted 440 points to 2 well placed plasma cannons

What do you think about switching out one tac squad for some scouts with sniper rifles and camo cloaks to stay back on my objective? That would free up some points for the two Rhinos and two more bodies for my dev squad.

a 10 man scout squad with snipers and cloaks is only 30 points less then the tac squad. so you will either get 2 more marines for your dev squad or one rhino. I do like the variety the scout snipers add though.

I was talking about a 5 man scout squad. I apologize for not specifying. That would allow for the additions I mentioned if my math is correct.
