So, I'm building this with only what I've got right now, and have included my immediate plans for the future build of it. Here we go, the Sternhammer strike force.

Demi Company
HQ
Chaplain

Troops
3x Tact Squads(x5 models for now, Meltaguns)

Fast Attack
Bike Squad(x3 models, using some yellow DV bikes for now, plasma gun, Sgt with chain sword, twin linked bolters)

Heavy Support
Dev Squad(x5 models, missile launchers)

Elite
Command Squad(X1 Apothecary, 4x Veterans)

Auxiliary
"Siege Ancients"
Contemptor Dreadnought(Multi Melta, Power fist)

Plans for future:
Rhinos x3
Expand the tacts to 10 man
Add Dev of Lascannons or Multi Melta
Add Dread or Preds

What does "Sternhammer" do for you?

And what are you trying to accomplish with this current list?

Bike squad will be a nice counter punch or late objective grab, but without other mobility your list lacks some umph - even at 1k.

Warlord gives everyone stubborn, and allows bolters to reroll all failed to hit rolls. My goal is to have a rounded army with what I have right now, and add to it. My first choice in purchase is rhinos, then probably a bike squad or some heavy support.

What you outing in command squad? Get two drop pods if you ever find on sale.

I was thinking combi-Melta or Combi-flamer for the command squad. I also have added the Librarius Conclave, so 5x Librarians as my command option for the force. Also, I have a Cataphractii Captain, should I use him or keep the Chaplain?

Here is the revised list with everything I currently own built into it. I have some dark angels terminators and tactical marines left over, but they're pretty obviously not IF. I'm not sure if I should do the Strike Force Command or the Librarius?
