Hi all.

So tinkering of what models to buy and have come up with this list:

Starnhammer formation

Captain: Cataphraci Terminator Armour, Storm Shield, Relic Blade 120.p

5x Tactical Marines: Heavy Bolter 80.p

5x Tactical Marines: Heavy Bolter 80.p

5x Tactical Marines: Heavy Bolter 80.p

5x Assault Marines: 2x Flamers, Melta Bombs 100.p

Contemptor Dreadnought: Kheres Assault Cannon 185.p

3x Devastator Centurion: Lascannons, 1x Missiles 220.p

3x Devastator Centurion: Lascannons, 1x Missiles 220.p

5x Sternguards: Rhino 145.p

5x Sternguards: Rhino 145.p

5x Assault Terminarors: Thunderhammer, Storm Shield 225.p
Landraider Redeemer: Extra Armour 250.p

1850.p

So I think I have a little bit of everything in this list. Some anti tanks, anti infantry, close combat and some range support.
What do you think about the list? Find any tweeks, changes, tactics, weaknesses or strenghts?

I know it looks really cool, but the AssTermies & LR combo just doesn't really play out well for people in 7th ed. One burst of grav shooting and your 500+ pt unit is stuck with an immobilized land raider and having to walk across the board with no shooty weapons. Considering you don't really have any armor, that LR will be a prime target for any AT your opponent brought. I'm still trying to see the big benefit of the Sternhammer formation... stubborn won't help that much, and the "improved bolter drill".. i mean, IF already re-roll 1's... only miss on 2's... so now your 15(!) tacticals reroll those 2's? Doesn't seem great compared with some of the other formation bonuses. I think DevCents with no grav are a bit of a waste.. at least one squad of them need it.. grav is just too good to ignore. Sternguard are great, but they really want to be in drop pods.. especially with a combi-weapon... and doubly so if you're using them as 1st Co.
