I kinda feel short on troops but I don't have anymore bikes at the moment. I'll buy more eventually. Any input would be appreciated.

You are very very short on troops. Get a cheap scout squad or something in there to bolster scoring.

Your dreads are dreadful. I highly recommend a twin linked + a non twin linked heavy flamer for 15pts. In a drop pod that will fry troops turn 1 nicely.


Only need one dread like this as it can drop turn 1 when the enemy is still bunched up.

The storm raven seems out of place, dump it for more scoring units.

So should I just swap out 1 Dread with a Ironclad? Replace stormraven and other dread with scouts/ marines?

1,555/ 195 left

I made a few mods taking out both dreads, and the stormraven and adding a Ironclad w/ HF and a Tac squad w/ drop pod and meltas. I'm stuck with 195 points left. Wonder if I should add another tac w/ a rhino or a razorback, a dev squad, adding 2 twin linked LC to the stormeagle, upgrade the cpt to a CM or just add upgrades to the sgt's in the current squads.

Well I would change the multi melta on the tac squad to a combi melta. Sounds like a really bad down grade, but it's not. Multi melta had to snap fire after coming down in the pod, and the combi melta doesn't. It may only be one shot, but you'll get more damage out of it then a multi melta

Oh and with points I recommend more bikes

I will eventually get more bikes in like 2 weeks or so. I have 18 bikes, all from DV set so I'm able to make three 5 man squads and mod the 3 left over sgt's into a CPT or CM. I could mod the other 2 into independent characters. Too bad SM libs don't have divination anymore.... For now I adjusted to this:

Very cool list. Don't see need for teleport homer on the scouts though

I like the list, mind telling us how it does?

ty Didn't know what to spend the last 10 points on so I put a homer on the scouts for possible infil to get the scouts close to get that non scatter DS for table edges. Wouldnt want my pod falling off the edge lol.

Of course, I'll try to find a game soon.

Well I played an escalation game vs an armor IG list with a baneblade, vanquisher hq guy with beast hunter shells, punisher leman, a regular leman russ, and a vet squad. He also took inquisitor allies in a Landraider.

Map setup: Dawn of War
Game type: Kill Points
I won 11 to 7

Almost a bad match up due to my lack of range compared to his. So I mainly used the bikes to mob ruins and get line breaker while my melta drop popped the Landraider the turn they came in. Sadly I was able to glance the baneblade with my thunderfire cannons to gain a VP there. The stormeagle was almost useless due to the fact the AV was too high for me to glance or pen, so I used it to kill off his vet squad and the inquisitor n henchmen. My other drop mobbed his leman russ and punched it to death. 1 Talon popped his Warlord Vanquisher and the other attempted at the rear armor of the bane but I flubbed the rolls.

I'm still happy with the list though. I might swap the storm eagle for my stormraven. Although I do think the stormeagle would have done much better had there been more infantry on the table.

Yes, i would keep the storm eagle.
#1 because its such a freaking awesome model, and
#2 because yes it decimates infintry.
