The Idea is to put everything in the Skyshield landing pad except for the squad of cultist without the Autoguns (which will go for objectives and probably get shot to bits,) and the heldrake, which will fly around burning stuff. Here's the list:

HQ
Naked Sorcerer

Troops
10 Cultists
Mark of Tzeench
Autoguns

10 Cultists
Mark of Tzeench

Fast Attack
Heldrake with Baleflamer

Heavy Support
5 Havocs
4 Lascannons
Mark of Tzeench

Fortification
Skyshield Landing Pad

Unless I am mistaken this will give the Cultists and Havocs a 3+ invun, so will be very hard to kill.

I haven't decided what to go for with the sorcerer, maybe some blessings.

I don't own Stronghold Assault, so may be missing out on some rules but I think this is right.

What do you think?

MoT only improves you Inv save by one so it's wasted on anything that doesn't have Inv save already. It simply gives them 6+ Invunerable.
Fortifications are not that useful in small point games, so it should be ditched (or switched to ADL).

Those are my two cents. If you get some extra points left, try to get MoN to everything you can. T4 on your weak troops can make your game. Speaking of which, you truly need stronger troops. A single Drop Pod will wipe 50% of your scoring units.

The Skysheild landing pad confers a a 4+ Inv if I'm not mistaken, so the MoT would make that a 3+ Inv. Point taken with the small points limit and lack of troops though.

3++ still dies to bolter fire just as easily (or lasgun fire even.) So the skyshield probably isn't worth the points (unless you were defending a massive unit of something expensive, like 9 obliterators or something.)

Yeah, I guess so, and that's a nice idea for a bigger game!

I'd much rather take Marines in rhino's than cultists

That's quite surprising to me, because I've never really had more success with marines than cultist, and they're about 3 times the points. They still just end up dying, nothing accomplished. Maybe I just need to read some tactica.
