First, go through and edit out the points cost. We don't need it; Dakka could get sued for violating GW's Intellectual Property Rights.

That's an awful lot of anti-T meltaguns for a low points game. I'd mix things up with half the special weeps as flamers, and an AC instead of the TL-LasCan.

Nice spread of low point units though.

Only weakness is your troops are weak and if you were playing a objective game could become an issue. But for such a small point game that is a lot of fire power.

Can't you see we have been abandoned? Forget matters of duty and honor to the emperor this is now a matter of pride.

I'd swap the Chapter Master out for another HQ, maybe a libby, or captain, I dont see the chapter master as being worth the extra points.

Agree with removing some melta stuff to have more anti inf, you probably arent going to come up against anything with more than 11 front armor at 500pt, and ACs will be plenty for that.

No big deal, lots of people make the same mistake. To be honest I'm not even sure their standing is legal (at least in the US) but when it comes to corporate lawyers vs poor dude running a free website we know who'd win. You can show totaled points, just not individual item points.

As another option on your list, you could take one of your troops as scouts and throw them in a storm landspeeder.

How about

HQ (100)
Librarian
Troops (260)
Tac squad, 10 man with flamer, ML, power weapon sgt
Scout squad, 5 man with snipers and ML
Transports (40)
Razorback with HB
Fast Attack (100)
Landspeeder Storm (HB)
Landspeeder (Hvy Flamer)

Basically you trade a razorback for 5 marines with a missile launcher but keep mobility with the Speeder Storm. Weaker against armor, but you won't see much at this points level. Better all comers list and you now have 3 scoring units.

4300 points 3750 points 2900 points 1050 points 4000 points
Cygnar 73 points, Khador 44 points, Menoth 46 points, Mercenary 25 points

The total of your original list is 600, not 500.

Try this instead:

Captain
Troop = 5 Marines
Troop = 5 Marines
Transport = Razorback Heavy bolter
Transport = Razorback Heavy Bolter
Fast Attack = Landspeeder MM + HF
Fast Attack = Landspeeder MM + HF

=500

edit: Btw I think this is great for 500 pts. I would definitely run this.

Yeah, a Nude Captain isn't going to do gak. Instead, take a Librarian. Gate of Infinity can be really nice, as you can Jump your Libby, and any Squad to which he's attached, back and forth across the board, allowing them to rapidly re-position, even escape CQC, if it's not tipped in your favour. If you're playing at 500 Points, then sometimes the Minimum is only 1 Troops Choice, so whoever you're playing against, you should clear that up. If it is that way, then you can change those 2 Tacticals for 1 Tactical, and gain some free Heavy and Special Weapons. Combat Squad them, and put the Special Weapon and Sergeant in the Razorback. Keep the Heavy Weapon outside, and static, so he can keep firing whilst his buddies advance in the Razorback. I don't think both of those Landspeeders are necessary, so instead, you should consider - once you also consider the Points you gain from only having 1 Razorback, not 2 - either a Scout Squad, or an Assault Squad. You might even be able to squeeze a Dreadnought, and they can be real fun; remember, Walkers can Move, Shoot and Assault every turn.
