Help with games using my list

Hello I keep losing a lot of my troops turn 1-2 and need help as I feel I’m just placing my troops down without a plan

So for example I don’t know if it’s just that I’m bad at deploying or actually that I don’t have a specific plan but my friend just seems to wipe me always it doesn’t even feel like he’s trying, the thing is I’m good at games and don’t understand why I’m just not getting it with 40K I’ve never struggled so much

My friend plays GK and Tau I always think I am worse against tau but then he plays GK and he is just better than me it pisses me off as I don’t even feel like I’ve got a chance

I’ve been playing for over a year now

If there are any guides I can watch to relearn the game from the ground up tbf I feel I need that

What Phobos units are we using

I’ve thought about using more niche Phobos units like reiver squads and eliminators as I absolutely love the models

but the more I think about it the more I feel like they are absolutely out classed by the infiltrators/ Incursors

I feel Phobos in particular reivers and eliminators fit our vibe IMHO and makes me feel like I’m going in the hunt for some fallen the reiver mask in particular is incredibly cool to me

Do I buy reivers and use them as infiltrators and Incursors ?

What are your thoughts on them any good way to use them or better just left alone

Proxying Hellblasters as sternguard

I don’t want to have to buy sternguard

I would like to see if anyone has found anything to make hellblasters look more like sternguard such as adding a tabard or loincloth and hooded helmets to hellblasters

I do love sternguard but I like the idea of them all holding plasma hence why I didn’t just buy them in the first place

So my question is would you swap out

ICC x6 - 2x5 JPI

Liberian - Techmarine

Ballistus - Lancer
