I... Dont know what to say. Massed SM vehicles. It would be fun to play against...

Do you really want the Techmarine to be that expensive? I would have thought you would at least want a squad of scouts and a librarian.

Might not be a bad idea. I only gave him a thunder hammer cause it fits the theme. The rest of the stuff was just cause i wasn't sure i could fit a 2 tac squads with rhinos in, but looking at the points, i guess i can.

You might be better off dropping the servitors and replacing them with TFCs.

Turn this into a Fists of Medusa Strike Force and you get the following below. Much better imo.

Also keep in mind that you repair on a 2+ and PotMS lets you move 12" and still fire the DCannon. No need to waste points on Servitors and you could then give your techmarines bikes.

Servitors don’t help a whole lot with survivability.

The are T3, 4+ guys. If there is more then one left in the squad, that makes the average toughness go down. So while you can use them as ablative meatshields, you end up having to make more saves.

Putting him on a bike will give him a 5 toughness, and the option for a jink save. As techmarines don’t normally get an invuln, this can be a big deal.

The bike will also let him keep the range open for a c-beamer, or get to wounded tanks to fix.

I’m not going to say the servitors are completely useless, but they are one of the few units in the codex I actually try to steer people away from.
