My current list is as follows:
HQ: Chaplain w. jump pack
FA: 5 Assault marines (sarge w power fist and combat shield)
LS Storm w. Heavy flamer
El: Dred w. multimelta
Tr: 10 Tacticals (flamer, ml) + Rhino
10 Tacticals (melta, ml) + Rhino
5 Scouts (ccw) - these go in the Storm
5 Scouts (sniper, cloak, ml)
My experience:
My storm with the 5 combat scouts is held in reserve. When it comes on, it outflanks, flames, and the scouts assault. It is quite effective and destroys some pretty meaty squads (the h. flamer whittles the squad down, and the scouts do enough in cc to make the enemy break for a sweeping advance). The storm and/or scouts are usually wiped out after carrying out this tactic.
Dred never seems to do anything.
My rhinos seem to get imobilised/wrecked easily, which leaves my tacticals ineffective.
Sniper scouts can't stop anything.
Chaplain and assault marines get overwhelmed because they are too few.
So, suggestions? New army list or better tactics? Or both?!
Should I ditch the dred for 5 more assault marines (with flamer/plasma pistol). Maybe ditch a 10man tactical + rhino for a vindicator and whirlwind?
I was tempted to try make room for another dred (ironclad?) and put both my dreds in droppods.
Maybe scrap the Chaplain and assualtmarines for a captain + sternguard in a pod?
Thanks for your help.
