looking at building a tank heavy  1500pt  space marine army

HQ:  Chaplin: bike, mantle,melta bombs 165

         Master,:   power weapon, bolt pistol, iron halo 106

TROOPS:  8x marines, laz, plaz 145

                    8x marines, laz, plaz  145

                     8x marines, laz, plaz  145

                    8x marines, melta  130

Fast ATTACK:  3x bikes, plaz, melta, SGT: pow weapon, termi honours, Attack bike, multi melta  206

HEAVY:  3x Predator anhilator, laz, laz, extra armor 450

The plan was to have anti armor, and and anti troop, as well as Anti Zilla.  the local GS has allot of these lists running around.  I may swithc two laz cannons out for three heavy bolters on the squads.  this will play lioke the usual stand and shoot list.  any help or comments are welcome.

you've got a lot of las cannons. like, too many. if you cut all of the marine squads down to 6 men, you could afford to add another 6 man las/plas squad and bump melta men into las/plas land. Given that you'd have 5 las cannons, i'd recomend switching your preds to heavy bolter/auto cannons to give you some anti-horde firepower. another option would be to make said preds into whirlwinds which do all kinds of wonderful things these days. Also, cut the chappy and bikes in favor of more assaulty-ness. as is, you're vulnerable up close.
cheers
p.s. 3 tanks does not tank-heavy make.

If you want tank-heavy, go for the 3 preds and as many razorbacks as you can muster. That, combined with a solid las-plas firing line, can wreak havoc. Try and give whichever HQ you retain a command squad to help counterassault.

As a rule of thumb, the designers do not hide "easter eggs" in the rules. If clever reading is required to unlock some sort of hidden option, then it is most likely the result of wishful thinking.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake;
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
