Okay, I took the advice I got from the last list and refined it a bit.  The idea is to create an army that can outshoot just about anything at long range.  I took Drop Troops and Close Order Drill because they are free, not because I plan to use them that often.  Let me know what you think.

Not to bad, two big mistakes

1)Command squad has no clear role, it should be either provide ld (you take nothing but a banner and the honrifica) Or a suicide squad with 4 flamers or 4 plasma guns and nothing else.

2)Drop the lascannon off of both vet squads, these guys need to be kept to a points minimum as they are target #1 and with only 6 bodies they die. These guys work best with the three specials and that is it.

3)You need more anti-tank. If you followed my advice you only have 4 lascannons. You need at least 6 at 2000 points.

I appreciate the feedback.

1) The command squad kindof does both roles. It hides and provides leaderhip, and if an enemy units gets close enough, they move out of hiding and rapid-fire.

2) Sorry if it is unclear, but the vet. squads are actually ten strong.

3) I am trying to find the right balance of lascannon and heavy bolter. Currently I have 6 lascannons and 19 heavy bolters. All of the lascannons are buried in ten man squads, so I'm hoping that will be enough.
