In the first list the Venerable Dread, the Chapter Master and the assault terminators go in the Stormraven. The Devastators and scouts go on the Skyshield.

In the second list, the master of the forge goes with the 9 man tactical squad. Chapter Master can go in either the droppod w/ the Vanguard or in the Stormraven as the other list. Thinking Rhino scout move 12 inches, then move 12 and pop smoke for a 4+ cover or 6 inch move and deploy out 6 inches preferably into cover and rapid fire range. Go to ground with Stealth if heavy fire comes my way for 2+ or if I go into the reinforced terrain, I won't have to GtG to get 2++! Thinking drop the two dreads on top of 3 scary fast Rhinos and my opponents can't be sure what to deal with first; Especially if my first turn is successful.

Very similar, I think, but I like the first list better. Looks like Scouts, Devastators and Dreadnought will be in the Skyshield start of game unless you can hide them easier to avoid giving up First Blood.

I love Zombimeltas

I left that in there to get your attention! It was super effective!
