Master of the Forge deploys with the Sternguard and likely drops in an initial wave of three Ironclads, providing them with a 12'' bubble of 4+ IWND. Each having a meltagun and heavy flamer allows them to do both jobs of clearing out a horde or shooting through a transport. Sternguard do what Sternguard do, and I have 30 points to throw at them for meltabombs or combi-weapons. Second wave of pods are the techmarines and tac squads, each pod being able to unleash a withering storm of plasma fire (Sergeant combi + Squad Plasma + Techmarine Harness + Techmarine Combi). Hopefully the dreadnoughts aren't all dead at this point and a few get into CC, but if not a fourth hits the dirt along with the tac marines. Variable, of course, on reserve rolls.

If they hover when they enter, they're easily addressed.

Drop Sternguard, add a third techmarine, add a third tac squad, both kitted as above.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6677699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6677699.page GMT
Also, 15 scoring bodes is way too low even if they weren't going to be part of the initial assault. I like the idea of a plasma squad with the techmarine for a nice 6 shot, 6 model plasma pod though... neat concept.

Also, to comment on the flier situation, keep in mind that they can come on the board from any part of the board edge, at any angle... so they can pick the far corner and make a very sharp angle (almost parallel to their board edge) and will be able to at least get side armor, if not rear. Fliers are just nasty ha.

Honestly, the part I like best about the list is the min tac squads in the pod with the character with plama... it would be a neat idea if you could use Ultra marines tactics to re-roll 1's on the turn they come in... but that's a whole different idea I guess...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6681848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6681848.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6683378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587307/6683378.page GMT
