Automatically Appended Next Post:
Actually started to think, the burning blade is a bit too much points, that could be used elsewhere in the list, so removed it, gave a combi-grav to my captain and threw a bunch of MBs into the list to give a bit more weapons against AV14 spam or other mech heavy lists just in case my gravguns don't do the job.

Solid List. Not sure I like the 5 man drop pods for a white scars chapter. I prefer them in a rhino where they can use their scout move. But that might be a preference thing than anything

Not taking Khan just so that i can scout, as my list really doesn't need the scout move. The pods are there to bring pressure on the enemy on many sides and make it a hard choise, what to remove as well as give me a good alpha strike option for though targets like landriders etc.

You say you dont need scout now, but you havent been in a tournament where someone plops down a screamerstar list, and going first with scout would mean the difference of reaching a hidden fateweaver and wipeing him before he can fly/use silly psychic powers, and not doing that.

I know how to play against a screamerstar, i do play it myself as my first army Yeah, scout would be useful, but then again, i don't have room in my list for Khan. Well we will see, if anyone brings a screamerstar into the tournament. I know hardly anyone plays daemons in my area minus me, so not that concerned.
