No Meph?

Assault dudes in Rhino's don't seem to work so well anymore.

That's all I got for ya.

Looks incredibly light on troops. Like 40% less fat light.

I agree with Timbo at most you have 3 very small marine squads to score with. I can say with relative safety that at 1500 points most armies wont find that hard to kill.

I also don't get Gabriel Seth, is he good in actual play? I read his special rules and was kinda meh. Especially compared to Mephiston or The Sanguinor.

Mephiston is 250 points..... Sanguinor is 275...
Seth is 160...
And at str 8 hits at init 5 with rending with effective 5 attacks (6 on charge)...
Cheapest special hq angels have.

As for troops, yeah, light on them. Everything too costly for what you get out of them Imo.
Could take death company... But not scoring...
Could shave off rhino and take pod instead for 10 man assault marines. Allows me to place them pretty much anywhere. BAM deal with them! While rest of army advances up on you. Vanguard are nearly a must take now. Too useful not to. Assault off DS with d6 scatter...
Used honor guard a couple times now too with real good success.

I don't know... If the list was more than 1500 I would take a 3rd assault squad...
Could maybe drop the fist from vanguard and the predator to take a jump pack assault squad to ride the raven and be an objective grabber when the turkey flys in... Skys of blood can be real good or be totally not worth it..... Lol, but last time I tried to use it I lost the whole squad as it deepstriked on top my own models even partially.... "of any member cannot be deployed then the whole squad counts as have rolled a 1 on the mishap table"....
