I will be mainly fighting only Orks, Dark Eldar, Chaos Marines, and Demons (maybe). They will be mainly capture and control objectives.

Thank you.

I quite like it...

I'd be tempted to drop the kroot down to 10 (and maybe the flechette dischargers from the railhead) and use the spare points to upgrade a squad of deathrains to fireknives (MP, PR, MT) to give some AP2 for dealing with those pesky marines

As you have no ML support, you could try and squeeze them in as a bodyguard squad for your Shas'El to take advantage of HW-MTs (and then take TAs for the 3rd hardpoint) but I think you're a bit shy on points for that

Edit: Actually, you could shave some points by making a squad of deathrains TL-MP + Flamer, this would work wonders against the horde lists and only be slightly less effective vs the others - not my preference to be honest, as I prefer accurate fire, but it does serve a purpose

[SavageConvoy]

I don't really see the point behind the Targetting Array on the Deathrains, since the BS-3 Twin-linking makes it a fairly accurrate unit.

Looks good enough though.

What can I do with this? I have 54 points remaining. Remember, I mainly fighting versus orks. I have 2 friends who play them, one plays with lots of bikes and the other with lots of mechs (kanz and what not).

[SavageConvoy]

I've heard a lot of good things from the Twinlinked flamer/Missile pod suit. It seems exceptionally good at fighting Orks. I've only faced them a few times and both times got swamped just based on their large mobs. I never worry about the Killer Kanz or Bikes, Missile Pods do a great job of taking them down and the Kanz make great roadblocks for everything else.
