for this role, i suggest i bike, instead of jump pack. That, or termintator armour and drop pod.
If you select a bike, youll need a bike squad to occompany him. The reason for bikes, instead of jump packs, is that they are equally good at shooting as they are at assault. Your HQ will be through units off the table, and its important that you be able to not assault, as you cant use Fear of the darkness in CC.
Terminators do the job best, they are hard to kill, and have unmatched firepower. The only down side is that they are termintors, and very expnesive per model. But, with drop pods, you can deploy right in the heart of the enemy, and with fear of the darkness, this is exactly where you want to be. Its also pretty fluffy, since termintors are suppose to deploy where the fighting is thickest.
Alternatively you could take a chaplain, if you want your assault squad to dominate. WIth every model striking at 5 insitive few opponents will last long enough to even strike bike. Any that do, are gonna be nailed by a huge powerfist.
The only downside is that the chappy cant use the bonus of the power, however hes still amazingly good in CC.
If you go with a chaplain, make this squad 10 man, other wise, dont field them.
Use the assault cannon version if your gonna drop pod.
However, you might consider, Twinlinked Lascannon, and Missile Launcher, with venerable, tank hunters. This tank will add a lot of shooty punch to your list. You cant beat TL S10.
Termintors would make an excellent body guard for a fear of the darkness. (the librarain would also need termintator armour. And the whole squad drop pods. OTHERWISE, dont bother fielding termintors.
Tactical squads get heavy weapons for each, as such you should take the best avaiable, IE, lascannon or Plasma cannon. And its best to back them up with a plamsa gun, if things get sticky, its great to have.
something like this: 6 man, 1 holding lascannon, 1 holding plasma gun, 4 holding bolters.
Or 1 holding plasma cannon, 1 holding plasma gun, 4 holding bolters.
6 man is the best, because it requires 4 model be killed to take the squad under 50%, or scoring units. If you field 7, its the same, so your paying 15 points, only for 1 extra bolter, its best to save that for somewhere else. And 8 man is just over kill for a squad that gonna sit and shoot most of the game.
Alright, well this is the worst combination of landspeeder possible. heh
Use the best: Assault cannon, and Heavy bolter. HUGE anti infantry capablity, yet also effective at killing tanks, with the rending assault cannon.
Good except this time you need more men, this squad is vauable, and the enemy wants to kill your heavy weapons, deny them the chance, by taking 4 body gaurds. So an 8 man squad.
IF you select Chaplain HQ, take an aditional trait, such as, honour your wargear, or see but down be seen, these are probably the most helpful for your current list. Of if somethinc catches your eye... For disadvantage, select Apsire to glory, it wont effect your list at all.
IF your select librarain on bike, replace blessid be the warriors with swift as the wind. Another trait might also be useful, such as see but dont be seen, or honour your wargear. Again, aspire to glory wont effect your list.
If you select termintators, with librarain HQ, take honour your wargear. Be careful in selecting a further trait, as it will start effecting your army compostion.
Good Hunting.
