This list is for a friend's campaign army and he is just starting out. His original list was illegal (only one troops choice) so I helped him out. I think the anti-tank is adequate, but I'm a little worried about the single dread being a fire-magnet and the possibility of a hoard army (even though there are 4 assault cannons and 2 flamers)

Any suggestions?

-i would drop one term, a unit of 6 in a 1000 points is a point sink
-also tank hunters isn't really needed for them, furious charge might be better to allow the power weapons attacks to be effective and would allow plenty of s9 attacks on vehicles
-dread would be fire magnet maybe a drop pod would help
-assault squad is fine but watch out making the squad too flexible, should be made for anti-tank, meq or anti infantry
-so drop either the flamers or the melta bombs, plas pistols also agood idea but pistols+bombs gets expensive, i recommend only 1 upgrade
-land speeder and tact's are fine
-what other models are available?
-dropping dread, 1 term (tank hunters as well)and melta bombs would free up considerable room (195 pts)to add another las/plas and tornado
