I think the list is almost perfect as it is.

BTW, if you read the new Q&A's on the GW bulletin, Pete Haines says that DA chaplains don't have to pay for stubborn because they are already fearless.

So the chaplain costs 122 pts rather than 127.

I would use those 5 points to upgrade the scout heavy bolter to a missile launcher.

Yeah, that too. If you're not playing in a GW tournament, just stick to this.

Yeah, I would replace 2 plasma cannons with lascannons.

You should have 15 pts leftover, enough to throw a multi-melta on a speeder or add another scout to the missile (heavy bolter) squad.

Das arent a very good assaulty list.. beisdes that, youve got to many scouts.
With cup of retribution, book of salvation, SoS and hunting the fallen rule, it is a good idea to give DA some assault power that they also excel at it.

BTW, DA have potential for the most devastating unit in CC (though it's not a great idea in <3,000 pt games).

Basically, you need 2 FOCs
Chaplain with termiantor armour
A librarian with book of salvation (I used Ezekiel)
7 man Deathwing terminator squad, furious charge and lightning claws
A Chaplain on bike with cup of retribution

You run up the Lightning claw termies and chaplain in a LRC, and boost up the biker chaplain (artificer armour, 2+ invul boost save). One of the chaplains should have a telehomer, to teleport in a Librarian (book of salvation).

When it's all together (not hard for me as it was a 4,500 pt game), charge the Lightning claw termies and chaplains. Use Librarian and biker chaplains to reveal their holy relics. The Lightning claw termies will get 6 S5 power weapon attacks that re-roll to hit and wound each. So that's 42 Lightning claw attacks.

When I successfully did this against Necrons (who blew up the crusader but everyone else was alive), I wiped out exactly 800 points of warriors plus the Nightbringer. It was well worth it, and executed perfectly.

Just wanted to share a DA assault experience...

Cheers,
Ezekiel1990
