That's 56 bodies in 11 drop pods on the field with Pedro and the Sternguards giving me 9 scoring units. This list is built with defensive tactics in mind. The idea behind the list is the drop pods provide LOS blocking and board control. This also gives me good split of drop pods for the first turn and giving me a lot of options in the way of picking my alpha strike. The Devastators take advantage of tank hunters and the flakk missiles for dealing with flyers. The LC and ML are combined in each devastator squad for redundancy. Once all 11 pod are on the they'll be putting out 22 bolter shots per turn.

I adapted this list from a list I saw on Implausible Nature: http://www.implausiblenature.net/1/post/2013/09/defensive-drop-pods-6th-edition-v10.htm

Curious as to how it would work for a Pedro led Sternguard list. Thoughts and critiques please.

I honestly feel that my 1850 list could beat this. Defensive pods are nice but you went a bit overboard.

@dreadnova Replace the combi flamers with plas combis on the sternies and use the leftover 150pts to beef them up. Also considering this is a defensive list, take out their heavy flamers too, the assult marines are meant for that business

@screaming skull With the above suggestions to dreads list, it should be pretty good
