Ok, so my friend wants to know what he can do with 600 points for Space marines that is pretty competitive. I've made a biker list, wanted to know what you guys think of it, and whether there are better builds?

HQ:
Captain, Bike, Artificer Armour 130

Troops:
5 Bikes 2 grav-guns 135

5 Bikes 2 grav-guns 135

5 Bikes 2 meltaguns 125

Heavy Support:
Stalker 75

Little modified list. Anti-air is weakness for this list.

HQ:
Captain, Bike, Artificer Armour 130

Troops:
5 Bikes 2 grav-guns 135

5 Bikes 2 grav-guns 135

Heavy Support:
Thunderfire Cannon 100
Thunderfire Cannon 100

Very similar, I know there are some weaknesses like AA with biker lists, that's why I tried to get a stalker in there, would you say it's worth just saying no too AA, and taking the thunderfire cannons?

I'd just ignore flyers and try to out maneuver them. Maybe keep it to one TFC and skim 25 pts off of one of the bike squads

I could change it to this:

HQ
Captain, Bike, Artificer Armour 130

Troops:
5 Bikes, 2 Grav 135 (Captain)

5 Bikes 1 Grav 120

5 Bikes 1 Melta 115

Heavy Support:
Thunderfire cannon 100

Another option would be dropping 2 bikes from the melta squad, taking them as fast attack, leaving me with all 6 sweps and 17 points spare?
