So after reading the newer Flesh Tearers space marine battles novel I am going to start a FT army. Now I am going to build towards a 1500 list and here is what I have. It is all either podding in, riding in the storm raven or the lone speeder chilling by himself lol Here goes:

Flesh Tearers Strike Force:
Libby - lvl2, melta bomb, executioners hood
Sang Priest - auspex, melta bomb, power fist
5 Death Company - 4x bp/ccw and 1 hammer (in raven with priest and libby)
Furioso Dread - magna-grapple, blood talons (melta/heavy flamer) - rides on back of Raven
10 Tactical Squad - pod - heavy flamer, flamer, combi-flamer/hammer vet srg (all srg's will be modeled with eviscerators SO FLESH TEARER-Y)
10 Assault Squad - pod - 2x melta // hammer vet srg w/combat shield
10 Assault squad - pod - 2x plasma // hammer vet srg
Land Speeder - assault cannon/HB (Any suggestions to replace this guy? Maybe a dev squad?)
Storm Raven - assault cannons, multi melta, hurricane bolters

So the theory is that the tac squad and probably melta squad come down turn 1 - with the speeder hugging cover to stay alive. Then the second pod and raven come in turn 2 hopefully and wreck some face. Probably rolling on divination for rerolls - or biomancy to make the squad beefcake. With the boost to all other dreads the furioso will do some work if I can get that charge off the next turn. 6 attacks on the charge rerolling wounds will be nasty at s10ap2

Any and all suggestions are welcome but I would like to keep the same theme of pods/ravens - that is the way the flesh tearers do thing at the end of the day. To make it more fluffy I should have a chaplain with the DC instead of a libby - good swap? thanks for y'all's opinions!

What's an executioner's hood?

Relic for the archangels from the exterminatus book, the same book the flesh tearers strike force is from. It provides immunity to shadow in the warp. Tbh I'm not quite sure why it's in this list, it's situational at best and it's not even a flesh tearers relic, so it's not for fluff reasons.
