its only imo... but most walkers are naff in 6th ed... a general 5 up cover save is far worse than the 5th ed 4+ cover that was more easily available... not sure if GK can take heavy transport but it seems a better option both for 1st/2nd turn survivability and for mobility... the rhino is like a ww2 sherman, a disaster waiting to happen, a standard marine army with half a dozen can 'smoke screen' themeselves ... but three are hard to hide !

My plan was to flat out turn 1 and dump the strike squads on centre objectives or push forward or use the rhino for cover.

Have the dreads at the back behind the aegis line with maybe coteaz on the gun and giving prescience to one of the dreads.

Have the death cult in one of the storm raven to assault from there.

And the acolytes in reserve to come on and hold objectives.

Grey knights can take LR but they are just as prone to that lucky penning shot, granted they need higher strength weapons to do it.

I read some posts with people talking about taking the terminators instead of strike squads but I think bodies are better than the expensive armour for the moment at least in my experience.
