Ok so I've never used any variant of the Space Marines.. So any C&C would be appreciated.

I've tried to keep in fluffy-ish too

Total Points at 1998. I've tried to keep it relatively versatile to deal with most things, any hints or help from seasoned White Scars Players?

The fact that it's actually a white scars list is impressive. Many times someone will claim to have a certain list only for me to see that only about half their list fits the claim

Only things I can think of are to take out the command squad for another troop bike unit *more to score with* and also take out the stormraven for a stalker *its cheaper and still accomplishes the skyfire job quite well* and if you really want take two of them for still 50pts cheaper than the raven. That should also leave you with a few extra points.

Another scoring unit probably wouldn't hurt, but depending on the opponent and game type I can combat squad them for more scoring units. The Stalker seems a bit slow.. I want fluffy haha

Stalker might be slow but its only job is AA and target supression, 48" range with those 4 shots is pretty good and for the price of one raven you can take two stalkers or one stalker with another partial bike unit. Without any unit to transport i just feel like you would be wasting points on the raven.

Other than that though i would say its a pretty solid list

And just saying, bikes are hardly fluffy lol. Turbo boost ftw

Althougyh I like it, I feel you're trying to do everything with a few units. Just dropping all the multi melta attack bikes can get you a decent squad of sternguard in a pod.

The command squad are really good with T5 FNP so I wouldn't drop it.

Finally, I also agree that the stormraven will probably be easily outdone by other flyers, and a couple of the anti-air tanks in whichever flavour you like would be better, Also frees up a few more points for those sternguard

I feel like the command squad would be wasting a few points. For just 22 points more you can have an extra troop choice giving himore scoring options and more bodies on the field. *8 bikes with an attack bike in the troop unit versus 5 in the command squad. Both the command squad and the troop bikes are T5 with W1. Also so he can keep it mobile i dont know if he will want to use those sternguard. They will just get bogged down after their first strike as the rest of his army is focused on being agile and fast.

FNP wont matter to much for one squad anyway. An average of 2 guys from it will live one extra round and that still puts the squad at "7" bikes strong versus a troop choice of 8 bikes strong

The command squad adds a good escort for khan and the libby, or else they'll be charging with a unit that isn't capable of doing much at all. He's got storm shields which adds something against low AP stuff too so they don't go on the HQ's.

It's not as though 4 fast and tough troops isn't enough, having the command squad adds more flexibility IMHO.

I just feel like its not necessary as all bikes that are moving *as they should be* have jink saves anyway. And khan already has an inv save anyway. These are just my thoughts though. I just have a hard time justifying the high cost of the command squad since your characters can just join any normal unit to about the same effect.

Plus who doesn't like 10 combat squads of bike troops?

The only thing I'm worried about with the Hunters / Stalkers is that they'll be targeted and destroyed before the opponents Flyer gets on the table. At least with my own flyer I can stay safe in reserves then roll out and try and kill their flyers.

Also, if I were to roll with some Sternguard what would be a good loadout for them? As I've never seen them be used haha.
