A scout sniper squad on adl with comms is included for back field scoring, but more importantly, to ensure the speeders and raven make the impact when needed. The tactic becomes more difficult when a wraithknight is plonked down but there should be enough high strength low ap shots to worry it.
The list is all about synergy, directed particulary against serp spam. To breakdown:- If the opponent focuses on the assault squads, there is enough in range melta and ordinance to break their backs, if they don't shoot their shields then there shouldnt be enough shots to prevent the assault squads from wrecking them in combat.
Do you think this will work (even with an over costed dex)?

May give the scout sarge mbs in case a serp flys to my side of the board to escape the assault squads, will probably be overlooked by the opponent for a nasty surprise (what else am I to do with 5pts?)
What could be done to increase the effectiveness without damaging the synergy?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6298241.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6298241.page GMT WS list go axes, and power mauls/axes on your sarge) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6298682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6298682.page GMT
IMO buy drop pods with marines with meltas in them,
drop pod BEHIND the serpents where they can't use shields,
and murder them first turn.

The issues are that 1.) If i fail to take them down I will never catch them. 2.) By arriving piecemeal, it doesnt force my opponents to have to use his shields which is the aim and 3.) With jp that melta will be in range very quickly anyway. This is more of a turn 2 overload rather than an alpha strike.
If I drop the scouts, whos manning the essential comms?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299333.page GMT ig but 4 tl str 7 shots that ignore cover for skimmers is unreal, you could try allying some in?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299341.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565771/6299377.page GMT fmc/or skimmers then they snap fire, the front armour is 12.
