Never Ever, take a captain. Try upgrading your Chapin into a recluiarch instead, will save you about 150 pts.  Or even a basic librarian for 100 pts. NEVER TAKE A CAPTIAN.

 

 

Isn't brother Corbulo 105 pts total? You might want to recheck your math in a few places

 

 

How many extra pts do you have left?

 

 

Baal predators. You cannot win in this edition with assault alone. SO shoot more. Twin linked assault cannons are awesome. Baal preds shoot great and can outflank or scout as the situation requires.

 

 

Drop pod one of your dreadnaughts they have that rule where half of your drop pods come into play on the first turn. (Half of one is one)

okay i'll ditch the captain and i'll check my points because ive done it using battlescribe and i was thinking of putting my dreadnought and tac squad in the stormraven

[ASSASSINAWOKEN]

I agree to ditch the captain. Curbulo is 105 points. How will Dante be delivered? If he is in the Storm Raven you are missing out on his ability to not scatter when deep striking.

 

I think you need to remove individual point costs, just give what the unit is and has and how and the total cost in points.

[THE-DARK-KNIGHT]

Dante would be on the ground with my assault squads and death company , i wasn't thinking of deep striking them because its quite risky if they all get swallowed into THE VORTEX (mwahahahaha) and okay will do as i said earlier i copied and pasted it off battle scribe (lazy)

[TheSauce]

One of Dante's perks is a no-scatter deep strike.

 

So deep strike him with an assault squad for triple melta goodness (two meltas and Dante's infernus pistol)

[Calnus]

Suggestions- Take Lemartes instead of the Chaplain, cheaper for more killy.  Give the assault squads a pair of specials, i.e. meltaguns.  Pistols are overcosted for what you get on anybody that can take a real gun.  Your Stormraven doesn't need a Locator Beacon (what will you have coming from reserve turn 3+ anyway?) 

 

And particularly, check your math.  Highly reccomend writing out your list from the codex using pencil, paper, and a calculator.  Also helps you learn the book better.
