"Hey Kirby,
So this is the list I've come up with for 2500, mostly as a fun very inyourface list.
HQ: Dante - 225
HQ: Sanguinor - 275
HQ: Honor Guard w/ 4x Meltagun, 4x Lightning Claws, 4x Meltabombs, Jump Packs - 285
HQ: Honor Guard w/ 4x Meltagun, 4x Lightning Claws, 4x Meltabombs, Jump Packs - 285
Troops: Sanguinary Guard w/ 2x Infernus Pistol - 220
Troops: Sanguinary Guard w/ 2x Infernus Pistol - 220
Troops: Sanguinary Guard w/ 2x Infernus Pistol - 220
Elites: 3x Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Packs - 225
Elites: Terminator Assault Squad (6men) w/ 5x THammer + SShield - 265
Transport: Land Raider Redeemer w/ Multimelta - 250
TTL: 2470
One vehicle = bad. Very bad. Even if it is a Land Raider. The Sanguinor also jumps out as blargh but if you're looking for fun he's okay. But even for fun the single vehicle = nono.
So the usual plan is crack open transports with the Honor Guard and massacre the gooey innards with the furious charge angels. The nerf from dante usually makes any other independent character no real issue, and if anything gets bogged down by a dread then it's hammernators or honor guard to the rescue!
An idea im toying with is Swapping out the LR for a Stormraven which after a hurricane bolter upgrade would put me up another 20 points so i would then have 50 left to throw around, maybe power weapons on the Priests?"
Nono to the single Raven as well. If you want to go the Raven route that's cool. You need to take two though and then drop the Sanguinor and add in some Land Speeders for saturation. From there you can put double Terminators in them and take off most of the upgrades on the HG (i.e. only meltaguns). All spare points then buff your troops as 15 scoring SG at 2500 are going to get blasted off the table.
If you wanted to go for a pure Jumpy list however (which is still fun!) I'd simply drop the Terminators/Land Raider and get more Sanguinary Guard. I'd also run some Vanguard Vets with stormshields (dropping the SS form the Honor Guard in the process) but that's moving the list to a more competitively balanced standpoint.
