Ok, This list is just something that I want to try as being fun and not something I consider competitive just want to try. Has anyone tried a list like this before and how has it turned out? Now its a 2560 point list but the friend that I would play it against said whatever I bring he would bring a list to match point wise and we would be doing purge the alien since I can't hold objectives. He is Playing Grey Knights so it'll be an uphill battle to start with but who knows.

Ok so now for the list

HQ
Astorath

Elite
2x Furioso w/ Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer in a drop pod

Chaplin

Troops
9 Death Co with power mauls in a drop pod

10 Death Co w/ power swords in a Land raider redeemer

3x Death Co Dreadnought w/ Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer in a drop pod

Heavy
3x Dreadnought w/ Missile launcher and a plasma cannon

Now the plan for it is attach Astorath to the DC unit in the land raider and then the chaplain in with the DC unit in the drop pod. Only starting on the board with the 3 Dreadnoughts and the Land raider. Then first turn bring in the 2 Furioso and 1 of the DC dreadnoughts right in his face. Gave them flamers instead of bolters so they can overwatch a little more reliably. The reasoning for the Mauls is I figured it would be better against the Termies I know he is going to bring since I can't bust his armor without going at Int 1. With the Chaplain rerolling missed to hits and to wounds it makes it pretty easy to hit on 3's (or 4's against paladins) and 2's to wound with 45 attacks plus the 4 from the Chaplain. And the ones with a sword since he like to bring purifiers and those could get wiped easily.

Astro boy can not get in the LR nor a DP for that matter ... he can get in a Strom Raven though

Why is he not able? He is an independent character but with jump infantry which just means he takes up 2 spots instead of 1.

He is Jump Infantry. They are not allowed to embark on anything unless given permission, and the Thunder Guppy gives specific permission to embark JI.

Pg. 78 under Transport Capacity second paragraph.

Ah, Well thanks for the heads up on that. I was just looking under the Unit type specifying that it was bulky. I'll Have to change it back to my original with the DC as one unit and give it Dante and Jump packs and that'll bump up the points cost by 25. Or I could lose a Dreadnought and do this...

Stick the DC with Swords and Astorath into the Raven and a furioso and keep the rest the same. this would actually drop the points to 2375.

I would give the Furiosos frag cannons and heavy flamers....

Fragnoughts are one of the BA's best units

Thought about that but was more planning on them being a CC unit that I would throw at him to tie him up since he doesn't run a lot of Str 7 and it can rip through a bunch of his units.
