Adrax, Shield LT, and Bladeguard ride in the Redeemer acting as somewhat tough melee distraction. Vulkan rides with the Infernus in a Repulsor to hopefully abuse Immolation Protocols and Emergency Combat Embarkation. Hellblasters in the Impulsor to utilize Burning Vengeance and that firing deck.The Eradicator brick in the other Repulsor to help flatten things as required. Infiltrators as objective campers and reserve disruption. 2x Combi LTs to act as objective monkeys, that wound reroll, and possibly skirmish trash mobs.

Between all these units almost everything will be rerolling wounds. Overall, I feel I’ve got enough here to deal with hordes, monsters, and machines while being tanky(pun intended?) enough to grind through opposition while my objective monkeys camp or scoot around causing general mayhem.

Any thoughts?

There is a trick you can do with the Drop Pod, you run 9 Infernus instead of 10 and Vulkan, then you can Deep Strike them turn one on to anything you need and let loose with those flamers. I costs you one Infernus model to do since the transport capacity is only 10, but completely removes the risk of the Transport getting destroyed before you get it where it needs to go.

Thats an interesting thought for a suicide unit
