I'm looking for any suggestions for my Deep Strike List. I'm taking veterans w/ meltas in deep striking valks and 3 7man squads of storm troopers with aerial assault and 2x plasmaguns. This is going to be an expensive list. I know, I'm doing it more so for giggles than practicality. Any suggestions would be great.

My best advice: Don't listen to anyone who tries to decrease the Stormies, it's a very cool and unusual list.

Stormies are good, but I always find that unless they're backing up, they take out a unit before getting owned (last game, plasma gunned a hive tyrant before getting charged by a T7 carnifex and run down).

Might I suggest that instead of deepstriking (and losing your valkyrie + vet squad on a mishap), that you outflank? It will greatly increase their survivability, and they can dismount and shoot the turn they come in.
Also, use primaris psykers - they can attach to the vets.

10 man stormee squads anything less then max (or at least 10)for anything is blasphemy. Tool out the sgt for hth as well.
Also pray to the Emperor that the green light stays green and not red.

I'm using a similar list at the moment and here is my two cents on the matter:
- Stormies are great, not overpowered but usefull nonetheless. 7 is a good number if you want to keep the squad alive for more than one turn. (though I've found that most people will ignore 2 or 3 Stormtroopers in favor of juicier Vet Squads, wich can be quite handy in some case!)
- Valkyries and Deepstrike = no good. Grimm is right, outflank is way better with them, or just keeping them in reserve for later. In some case though (like vehicle heavy list), you can deploy on the table and make good use of the 24" Scout move to get your meltagun Vets in range.
-Vendetta are also quite good, try splitting your flyer between Valks and Vendetta, it will payoff.
- This king of list lacks two things: Large AI weapon and High strenght blast weapons. My advice are: take some flamers equiped squad, demo charge and/or Marbo (65 pts for a demo charge exactly were you want it that almost never deviates is awesome AND fun!)
That's pretty much what I can come up with at the time. If you can, post a list so that we can have a better look and maybe some pictures of your guys.
Cheers!
P.S.: Oh yeah, Astropath and Medic in CCS are a must!
