Death Storm Drop Pods, how to use them

Recommended Posts

Fielding a pair, one missile, one assaultish cannon. What is the most effective way to use these in a Primaris list? I use Dark Angels codex but its nothing I can swap and use Marines if needed. Currently using three squads of intercessors, reivers, a dakka Repulsor, contemptor, redemptor, tri-las pred and two hellblasters plus a couple captains.

 

So far I have been less than impressed with them aside from short ranged distractions. Generally I put them in main avenues of approach and hope to get shots on things.

They are utterly useless. Hitting on 5s when they come down is bad, then add in the common -1 to hit that is EVERYWHERE and they will almost always accomplish absolutely nothing. I'm not sure if the doors still count as part of the model but if so the only thing I can think of is using it to block movement

I field them for fluff purposes as my chapter is known to use them extensively, completely have forgotten the +1 to hit thing every time I have used them for what good it did. Paying 160 points each with their silly point blank ranges in this edition of having to drop 9+ away is ridiculous. Hopefully they will get a points drop in the future.
