how do you deal with alpha strike sternguard ?

Try use that against him.  If he wants to spend 300+ points to kill your 250 point raider- awesome.  The counter charge should wipe him out.  

Use that fact against him.  Use it as bait. Expensive bait, but tough times call for tough measures. 

Rather than try protect the raider, offer it to him. But put it in a situation where your DC can be used later.  His tactic is predictable, as a result you can use it to help shape your strategy .

All this talk about sternguards has made me order 10 of em.,.! Thanks guys..! :P

How do you put them together? like they come out of the box, seeing as they are resin, or do you equip them with more combi weapons?
