Comes out to 1838 total, not sure where to put the rest of those points.

Basically the tactic goes, the Demolishers draw fire and move up while chimeras advance towards objectives. Coteaz sits on the manticore and presciences it, while the Ordo Xenos inq joins the guard blob, sits behind the ADL, presciences blasts away with the conversion beamer at whatever the guardsmen are shooting at.

Melta vets in the Vendettas can pull double duty thanks to the servo skulls, both hopping out to take out high priority enemy vehicles, and grav chuting near servo skulls that are placed near objectives to grab or contest. I would have preferred being able to put the vets in the chimeras and the scoring acolytes in the vendettas, but I can't have my cake and eat it too.

The Storm troopers gain a boost thanks to the servo skulls, with an even more reliable deep strike it becomes less of a gamble to use them to clear/secure objectives for either vets or acolytes to take and hold. If there is a better loadout for the task, please post that up! I love my storm troopers.

Thoughts, suggestions welcome.

It's been awhile, any chance someone could put in their $ 0.02?
