Ah... you could be in trouble there... Are you allowing apocalypse formations (such as the baneblade)? I don't think you have to, unless you're playing apocalypse, in which case he can use as many as he likes (within the points limit).

The missle launch can only glance Lemans, can you replace it with a las cannon, etc?
the bane wolf will come down fairly easily, and a chimera shouldn't really be a problem.

Hope that helped. ;)

Buy another devestator squad? Make your dread venerable, if it has a twin linked lascannon try to keep it 50% covered from fire. That way it gets a 4+ save and a re-roll. If it has a melta get it into combat with those tanks! s10 in combat remember.
Hell...terminators? Any time I know I'm going to be fighting super tanky shooty armies I put in ten terminators, some with chainfists, and spread them out the whole 2 inches. Even better if you're playing normal marines and put an assault squad with storm shields in front.
You can make another devastator squad with the one you have, 2 lascannons in one, the other lascannon and launcher in the other, you could even take a major ris and put one squad in a rhino (poor mans razorback) and try to use it to get side or back armour.
Chapter master has an orbital bombardment, can't remeber what strength it is however.

:D YAY i won. I used: 1 librarian in terminator armour, captain sicarius, full command squad (melta gun), 2 tac squads, 1 scout squad, 10 terminators (1 assault cannon and 1 missile launcher) , 1 dread, 1 vindicator, 1rhino and one dev squad (3 lascannons and a missile). His list: yarrick, company command squad, 2 vets (each with 3 melta guns,) banedog, chimera, 3 russes (2 demolisher 1 vanquisher) 2 heavy mortars and a BANEBLADE.
After our final turn (3rd) i had lost; 3 termies, 4 devs, 1 scout and a single marine. he lost; 1 chimera (Wrecked), 2 demolishers (both exploded) 1 vanquisher (wrecked) 1 vet squad and half a command squad. im even happier as this was my first win in 4/5 months.
Thanks for all of your help it was really usefull

comparing a captain and a chapter master, they're identical apart from one thing (the OB) with a 25 point difference. i dont think its coincidence ;)
