ML2 lib on bike w/ PFG- 150
Command squad w/ Banner of fort- 285

5 man tac squad w/ lascannon-90

6 man black knights 1 grenade launcher -252

DW termiantors w/ Heavy flamer 3 LCs 1 TH/SS- 235
DW knights w/ relic-245

this leaves me at 1594

Ideas for points-
DW term 3 TH/SS 1 CML- 255

2 5 man scout squads w/ cloaks and sniper rifles

or, a fire raptor (using nephiliem model)
and a mortis AC dread for decent ground and AA firepower.

which leaves about 60 points left... Thoughts?

Out of curiosity, why the tac squads w/ lascannons? If you wanna keep em, shave 10 points and throw both in a rhino for better durability

because they are there for 1-2 turns of obj. holding, and str 9 ap2 pot shots, possibly more, (and to open up my FOC) I ask you, you have almost 20 black knights in your deployment zone T1, 5 T5 2+/3++ smite mode terminators... and another unit of DW terminators (and possibly another unit of terms! with a drop pod melta force) all T1... are you REALLY gonna shoot at my tac squads?

I'm presuming the command squad is a 5-man Ravenwing Command squad (because of points, and it fits much better)?

I think the tac squads are fine for backfield obj holders, in which case the 2 scout squads would be too many backfield holders - how about the 2 lascannon units, one sniper scout unit and one unit of tacs with a special and a rhino for taking midfield? the bikes and termies will be heavily on your opponent's home obj's.

Some amount of anti-air is needed (well, recommended at least), so I'd go for either two Mortis (for redundancy) or a Mortis and the Raptor (don't know the rules, but I've heard good things).

Two droppods with Deathwind launchers? if you can shave of some points.

I assume you are hoping for ignores cover in divination to increase the talons hitting power.

The bikes are your core the two HTH terminator squads are wont get into combat till turn 2 no matter what you do with them.

What is your meta like? Do you see a lot of AV13? Knights? FMC? CentStar?

no cent star, few knights, knights I am not afraid of though really. FMC are there, but not a lot. get a lot of normal armies haha. overall the local players, save a grey knights player, don't have what dakka call highly competitive forces, and this list wrecked the GK player.
