If I am reading that correctly, you deep strike assault terminators in behind a land raider using a a teleport homer from a mounted tactical squad?

That is a lot of wasted potential. The terminators can't assault the turn they deep strike and the tactical squad makes almost no use of the assault ramp rule that the land raider provides. Altering your tactics there could very well change a game from a loss to a win for you.

I believe Rapture is correct on wasted potential on termies not in raider itself. Except during DOW were you can deploy both your raider and tact squad as your troop unit, and deep strike your termies around them second turn so you get +36 movement boost compared to the +12 you'd get otherwise (deploy 24" move raider forward 12 and deep strike termies at that point (or attempt to anyways).

Also I always had bad experinces with units full of initaitive 1 models (or my foe's have) so I would go with atleast ,2 to 3 or 3 to 2, claw to hammer ratio. Also in your squads (espacially dedicated assault squads) you want atleast 1 fist, so if you see a dred and it charges you you don't poop your pants. In your assault squad why does your sarg have a storm shield? I can see why it might be cool, but you should save the points for elsewheere as 15 points could spent in giving your other assault sarg a fist.

I feel an Assault Cannon would be superior in your list, as you don't lack anti-infentry more so anti-tank.But sense you outflank the Baal the flamer might find more utility through at end of the day I prefer an assault cannon over flamer(of any kind). So if can get a devi squad with lascannon instead of a baal that might be good. In my area most people I know run Stormravens Psuedo-Crusader style w/ assault cannons, hurricane bolters, and multi-melta. You might not have points to do this.

On LRR extra armor should be a must, as what use is a mobile transport if it can't move? (or shoot more then one gun in case of the LR) not much.

pardon any spelling/grammer, and I hope what I wrote here is helpful
