As the title says, been fine tuning this list as a general take all comers list: hold objectives, destroy heavy infantry, take out vehicles, but does it lean to heavily one way or the other? Advice welcome:

Seekers might be a better choice then veterans because they have bs5

That’s a good point, since vets don’t have the machine killer specialization anymore.
Any other thoughts?

the lack of line units, I'm assuming grey stalkers are line?

#

and normal drop pods don't have a Assault ramping so a good player can pick off all your grey hunters and now you have no scoring units

#

probably swap out the leviathan for something else. Leman russ is more then enough to kill things

You need an Praetor or Delegatus to use a RoW

waxen raven

He has Leman Russ

Yeah, I just think half of your army relies on Russ, his bodyguard and the leviathan, and a good player will just focus down your line units when they drop leaving you with no scoring units.

What changes do you suggest?

#

I have two anvillus pods I can use, but their cost and lack of assault kept them out of first draft

waxen raven
#

probably remove the leviathan and get some despoilers with drop pods to help sit on objectives

sharp locust
#

The other thing I’m thinking, are stalkers and slayers required for SW?
Might go for cheaper tact squads, and go for sitting on objectives

Personally I think you just suck it up. It's a different game now and any DPA list will just need to play the long game rather than just drop and charge. Drop pods aren't just a delivery system anymore. You should absolutely have a Support Squad I think. I think Wolves to a DPA pretty well due to thier advanced reaction FWIW. But if that deep strike + charge playstyle is what you're after then you should be checking out jump packs.
