I used this list a while back, was just curious on thoughts to one, bring it up to the current state of the game with all these new codex releases, and two, bring it down to 1500 points.

I dont have my codex in front of me right now, I will relook this list whence I get home this evening. I was curious if other SW players are having issues now with flyers, new rules for 6e, what ya'll think!?

Any ideas?

Similar to my footwolves list, but the drop pods make it viable. I like it, what is the plan with the devastators? Hide in cover and plink away at targets, or are you moving them up?

Why the plasma cannon instead of a lascannon? AV14 is not likely but s9 is really handy when you need it.

I'd drop the wolf guard and just take another GH with a plasma gun, more plasma shots for less points. Also if you're going to put a priest with the LF might as well have him drop the TDA take Prescience, and outfit the rest of the LF in that unit with LC or ML.

I like the drop pods, the only issue I see for myself is no real way to assist my landings at this point. I have the new SM Codex and like that they really beefed up the ability, in the way of different war gear, to land DP's with a greater chance of no incidents.
I have a LR that I want to fit in the list at some point but not real sure how that would look at 1500, more for 2K list I would imagine. Missile Launchers already have the 48" range, and that would match the range on a Lascannon. I guess the reason I took the plasma because it already matched the heavy plasma I had in the army, plus, I wanted something to take out blobs of folks if they try to DP or infiltrate into my Long Fang squads. I will more than like place and leave them. With the range they have I don't think I am really concerned with moving them too much. I suppose an ADL would be a good idea as well.

I already had 4 troops choices so, with LDR 8 I wanted to add the LDR 9/10 folks to the squads to make them a little more resilient. After all, they are DP'ing in and are going to be subject to some firepower whence they land. OR, I could drop part of them, and beef the squads to 10, since that is the limit for the SW DPs, different from SM, plus that would give me 2 Plasma-gun shots per squad? I do like the WG w/ Cyclones attached to the LF squad.

Any idea on how to reduce the cost. Maybe drop down to 3 TROOPS?
