The general idea is to have a MSU list where each unit can pose sizable threat, be it AP2 bolters or +1 Attack Chainfists. Terminators and the Fire Raptor can Deep-Strike on the Nuncio Voxes to crack hard targets near the Sniper vets, while the Sniper Vets themselves shoot Infantry. Primaris Lightning is there to pop Spartans and the like but I admit it may not come in early enough to make a difference without some.reserve modifications.Was thinking of replacing either the Primaris Lightning, the Seekers or aTerminator squad with the Sicaran Venator since the list currently lacks a good way to disable Superheavies. Criticism and advice welcome.Thank you!

How are you making your Alpha Legion Terminators deepstrike?
All i'd change is making a singular 10 man terminator squad tbh rather than 2 smaller ones.

For a Sicaran Venator i'd be looking at replacing the seekers probably, failing that then the Lightning Fighter.

If he replaces Lightning, he really can't kill heavy armor, unless terminators somehow miracously survive slogging across the field into cc, and no one pays attention to them.

Alpha Legion, he can infiltrate them.

Yes, but that still means at least 1-2 turns of slogging across the field. Because enemy heavy armor can just move from them even if they are 18'' from it.

Dude...he is replacing it with a Sicaran Venator...how the feth is that not capable of taking on heavy armour :S
His Terminators can be in charge range turn 2 with infiltrate, so really only need to survive a singular turn of shooting.
