My thoughts:

A really hard fought game! Both me and Norto spent alot of time in silence contemplating our next move. It started out very cagey bu then the assaults started happening. Norto was plagued by really bad armour rolls through out the game which really helped me.
But i was really fun to play!

The 2 attacks in BC (but with 4+ to hit) really makes the assault marines a very good air assault formation! I think i got 14 dices (also counting the thunderhawks dice) +1 MW on 4+ when air assaulting! This is a good change from the normal stats since it really makes the assault marines a unit you will want to include in the army. If it's deemed to powerfull after a few more playtest i would only take away the option of adding 1-2 stands to the formation, not change the stats.

The Death company is hard as nails also but can be dealt with because they're a small formation. I was toying with the idea to give them 2 dreadnoughts as upgrades but that would have made them the BTS formation so that idea had to go.

I really like this army and will playtest it more. Didn't get to try out any of the Different predators. But on paper the infernus FF3+ MW looks extremly good to be honest. Will have to try them out to see if its too good...
