Well, the Death Company List will lose or draw 2/3 of it's games because it has no scoring units. Also, three six man squads are going to survive all of 10 seconds against any significant shooting. And only 3 of those guys have invulnerable saves, so close combat against anything with a power weapon will be just as bad.

The Dante List at least has scoring units, though not enough. Switch the Tac Squad out for a full assault squad with 2 melta guns and a fist. Have Dante join them to put 3 meltas right next to the most important target in the opponent's army. This will take some more points, so drop the schizophrenic devastator squad. You'll have some points left over so add a Sanguinary Priest to ride around in the land raider (and never leave it). To give those termies feel no pain and furious charge. Try to keep it near the rest of the army so they get those benefits too. I think assault terminators with a mix of Thunder Hammers and Lightning claws would serve you better than ranged terminators, as you won't be shooting much riding around in the raider.

what are you arming that furioso in the drop pod with out of curiosity?

Because i find that if you go for the combat option it will get shot down the turn after it drops. thats a lot of points for one melta gun shot which will miss more times than it hits.

I armed the furioso with blood talons, its purely a close combat beast.
The death company list is a none scoring list but it does present an interesting fluffy alternative.
2 squads with jump packs flying around creating mayhem and also dont forget the feel no pian save, admittedly not as good as an invulnerable save but not bad.
one squad in the landraider and 2 death company dreads with talons again purely assault based but a lot of fun. Of course it does depend a great deal on what army your opponent fields.
i played the death company list against a guard army and got absolutely whipped, up against orks I kicked some.
The Dante list i tried last night against tau and managed a draw in a seize ground game although I must admit if we hadnt ended in turn 5 I probably would have lost, anyway thanks for the input chaps, juch appreciated
