So I'm relatively new to the game and have 0 background in tabeltop gaming. I like the idea of playing and want to play more, but most of the time when I ask for a game in my LGS's Discord no one answers me. I have played 7 games and have won 2 of them, I cant get better if I can't play. I feel like this leaves me with TTS being my only way to really play more than once a month. But that opens another question. I've never really messed around with TTS, so how do you get games? Is there a server browser and you just look for people playing 40K? Can you set up games against bots?

New player here, have roughly 6 or 7 games under my belt and am lucky if I get to play more than once a month. I want to play LAG and RCO Blood Angels, but most of the time I play against a Tau player who goes all in on mechs and tanks which makes my list worthless. I wanted to play BA because I wanted a melee army and I love their asthetic and lore, but the amount of armor I have to play against makes me feel like I'm gonna lose the moment I step into my LGS.

Right now, all I have for anti-armor is a Ballistus Dreadnaught, Eradicators, Predator Destructor (dont care about any of the Primaris tanks but thats the lore/model nerd in me talking), and Hellblasters but thats a bit of stretch. The rest of my army is more melee focused. The list I play against is normally Tau with 1 or 2 infantry squads with everything else being mechs and tanks. Half the time my Dreadnought and Predator and die really quick since they normally have 3-4 other mechs or tanks starring right at them. I feel like I'm playing a fighting game while my opponent is playing War Thunder if that makes sense.

So I guess more than anything, how much anti-armor should your average 2K list have? What are some models I could get to help make fighting these kinds of lists a bit easier? What detachments should I use instead?
