Librarian - I use Vortex of doom and smite alot, it's alot easier for my termies to destroy... well, almost anything, when they have a Librarian blowing up particularly nasty things with a Strength 10 ap 1 small blast. Plus with terminator armor he can still assault despite the VOD being heavy 1.
Predators - I like meltas, they're great. In fact I've one games simply becuase I have so many meltas, but seeing as they have a range of 12'' they can't do much until they're within spitting distance of the target. Thats unacceptable for me, I don't want to constantly foot-slog my army, and the tac squads are better at engaging enemy infantry, but with a melta enemy elites aren't as intimidating. So to compensate for these things I have not one but two predators to zap things to oblivion, seeing as if one las cannon doesn't do it the others probably will, and the more the merrier I say.
My dreadnoughts - They've got the extra armor simply because it reduces the frustration of someone glancing my walkers. It's very annoying when someone uses a Plasma cannon on one of em and they glance it, cause a crew shaken result and waste the dreds time. I need the mobile and angry, not standing still.
Devestators - This is simply to deal with heavy infantry seeing as there are so many SM players, and everyone seems to be using elites in abundance in their none SM armies I'm going to blast both with this squad. Sure I have Las cannons in it... but now that I do those landraiders don't look so scary any more and my Preds can focus on more immediate targets.
So any advice on how I should use this army?
Is it ok that I have the points listed on my army?
