Ok, so taken some advice on various threads, and I've come up with this list. I know some of you will think the ravenwing units are too small, but I seem to ALWAYS combat squad them, so this way I maximumise special weapons. So now I have a lot more! I've also turned the chapter master into an absolute beat stick (hopefully).

I think this list will be able to take on most things, apart from fliers! But luckily my local meta and regular opponents take little to no fliers what so ever! So it's ok to kinda ignore them.

Some of you will have seen this list evolve, please comment on it!

Thoughts Dakka?

Combi grav is allot of points for a one use weapon.

Why are your command squad naked?

Where are the low cost land speeders?

What is your plan for a Helldrake or AA in general?

You're the first person to suggest combi gravs are a bad idea!

The command squads aren't naked. 1 has an apothecary for FNP, the other a champ to accept challenges. Otherwise it's because they're cheaper than black knights, but the same stat lines!

Low cost land speeders are low cost for a reason - they are toilet! I've play tested them a lot, they don't do anywhere near enough, even as cheap as they are!

As for AA, read the post fully.

Land speeders are make or break. If you don't know how to play them you're right, they're toilet. However if you play them right, they can be a godsend.
Both the standard melta and the typhoons work really well, really up to personal choice.
And on that note; if you don't like them so be it.

List's got a lot of bikes...

Haha it is!
Honestly, I think I'm particularly crap at running speeders! I've ran 2 typhoon patterns for a while, and for me they're terrible. I just can't get them to work for me. So, my solution - take more bikers!!!

Fair enough

I like your list but I'm surprised you don't take Kor'sorro instead of the CM, if you can find 10pts (drop 1 of the combi-grav's) you can field the Khan + a MOTF on a bike. Getting Scout and +1 to Jink and strength to HofW,is great, as is ignoring dangerous terrain and hit and run!.
I just played a game against a blob IG platoon behind tanglewire, 2 bike squads raped them, choosing when to break contact is great, his 3 Leman Russ were impotent while my other 3 bike squads stalked them for rear armour attacks. Even Russ don't like 6 grav gun shots + a multimelta on armour 10, even the other 7 TL boltguns put out 14 re rolls, with glancing on a 6, if that tank is alive after assault then the dice gods hate you.
I strongly suggest the Khan for his rules (the MOTF can be a monster as well ).

As they're allies, I can only take one. All khan grants really is scouts, I gain the rest from white scarf chapter tactics anyway. And my ravenwing all have scouts anyway!

I like it!

Thanks dude! Written any good lists yourself recently?

If there is no other suggestions then I guess I'll start building!,
