Hi,

Just a quick list to go with my other force :

HQ
Epistolary (Shield of Sanguinus + Divination)
Infernus Pistol

Elite
Chaplain
Infernus pistol

Troop
Death Company
8 models
2 power weapons
2 thunder hammer
1 infernus pistol

transport
1 Drop pod

575 points

They drop in turn 1, kill a transport / tank, and hopefully survive with FnP and Cover save.
Assault turn 2 if not locked. (I wish i could assault out of the pod :p)

You can't count on killing one tank.
You have three guns for it, each has a range of 6" and effective range of 3".

Also, you can't mix codex powers with the BRB. Your best bet is either to take Shield and Fear of Darkness, or go wtih 2x Divination.

And know that DC isn't effective enough. You pay 600 points for a unit that may or may not destroy a single tank.
After that most of them will die to shooting. 3+ / 5+ cover / 5+ FnP isn't that effective against heavy fire.
Your next turn the enemy has either moved away from charge distance or charged you.

This concept has many flaws. Too many.
If I were you, I would do something like this:

Librarian w/ combi-melta
Brother Corbulo
5x ASM w/ melta and combi-melta

These inside a Drop Pod
+ Furioso Dreadnought with Frag Cannon&Heavy flamer in Drop Pod.
= 515 points

If you wish to take down infantry, drop Fragioso the first turn and take objectives with the ASM later.
If there's a nasty enemy tank, drop the Marines first.
Pop a tank (use Corbulo's single re-roll if you scatter too far away/fail with melta's).
After that, Corbulo will keep most of your guys alive.

That makes sense.
Thank you.

Yeah, DC aren't worth their points. Fragnoughts are a better option.

Wait till 6th edition codex before trying DC.

BTW curbulo won't keep a five man squad alive just because of 4+ FNP. Sorry.
