My gaming group has just started a homebrew King of the Hill Campaign and this weekend is my first week entering the fray. I'm relatively new to the game (been playing for almost a year but don't really have the time for a ton of games) and am seeking some insight from more experienced players on my list. Now bear in mind, I'm playing a Dark Angels successor chapter so I'm using their Codex. Not necessarily a great start but here we go:
Warp Sentinels Goreswirl Campaign 2500 pts
Belial - 185 lightning claws, apothecary and banner upgrade
Azreal - 225
Damocles Command Rhino - 60 Advanced Comm, Teleport Homer
Troops

1. 245 A. Cannon, powerfists & s bolters X3, sergeant w/ power sword & s bolter, apothecary
2. 215 Thunder hammer & S. Shields X4, sergeant w/ power sword & s bolter, deathwing banner
3. 250 Heavy flamer, A. Cannon, powerfists & s bolters X3, sergeant with Thunder hammer & S. Shield, apothecary
Tactical Squad - 200 stock w/ Rhino
Tactical Squad - 165 stock
Elites -
Dreadnought - 145 CCW/w Heavy Flamer, Multimelta, Extra Armour,
Venerable Dreadnought - 190 Missile Launcher, Lascannon, Extra Armour,
Dreadnought Tankhunter Spearhead - 60
Heavy Support -
Devastator Squad - 185 Heavy bolter, Missile Launcher, Plasma Cannon, Lascannon
Predator tank - 125 Twin-Linked Lascannon, Pintle-mounted Storm Bolter, Extra armour
Land Raider - 250
2500 Total
My general Strategy is to use the Damocles command rhino (DCR from here on) to control my deathwings entry in hopes of delaying them till late game since they are scoring. The board has a single objective in the middle of the table, where the current king (Chaos Marine Player) starts. I know deepstriking is risky but the teleport homer of the DCR allows me to reroll their teleport scatters. Will use the landraider to transport a Tactical Squad with Azreal so they all get the 4+ invul. to hold the objective while supporting it with the predator. The Dreads will be running around the board popping vehicles with the +1 to pen. from the Spearhead Formation. Belial will be attached to the TH/SS squad and will be the "Alamo" squad, using the 3+ invul from the storm shields to ward themselves after teleporting as close as possible to the objective.
Ok so those were my ideas but anyone with some good thoughts or criticisms please feel free!
Thanks
