The overall playing style is to bring in a massive amount of anti-infantry/anti-tank firepower at the beginning of the game.

The list is solid, but by now most people have developed pretty strong anti-drop pod strategies. You'd almost be better off putting all of the tacticals into Rhinos for the same cost.

I've actually never seen anyone go full drop pod, so I don't know what a counter-pod army would look like.
