i have thought about posting my tactics for my tournament army the thunder barons chapter for a while and as i have just shown my army list here are a few ideas i have conceived for getting the most out of them
my chaplain will stay with my assault squad and move from cover to cover were need be waiting to strike on an unwery unit or vehicle, you have to love melta bombs, my two elite devastator squads will infiltrate into some nice cover to annoy/destroy the enemy whilst my armourd colunm will move forwards at a safe speed, the annihilator and vindicator too either side of my rhino colunm.
once in range i will attack in strengh one part of my opponents army prefereble a flank but the centre is just as good and use my rhinos to block line of site to rest of my opponents force, at the same time i will turn my rocket launchers on the infantry squads and try to attack a different part with my chaplin and his assault squad, this will hopefully have the desired effect of giving my opponent to much to deal with at once.
once the rhino column has achieved its mission they will either mount up and move to a different target or if rhinos are no more they will use the two tanks as a mobile cover and move onto a new target, whilst my fearless assault squad will attempt to move onto the most threatening unit they can, i no that all good plans never last the the first shots and people start to panis gut if i keep up concentration of fire and attack then things should hopefully work out as planned
