A buddy of mine wanted me to help him optimize a list for a new army he is thinking of playing. He wanted to go with White Scars so he sent me a list and I made some changes to it. What do you guys think is good about this list, what do you think is bad about it? Any ideas for improvement?

White Scars 1850 list:

Kor'Sarro Khan (160) -205
-Moondrakkan

Command Squad (115) -250
-Bikes
-Champion
-2 Plasma guns

Khan Joins this squad and outflanks to deal with infantry.

1st Bike Squad x5 (90+50) -195

This unit is to hunt MCs and Tanks using outflank

Landspeeder SQDR x2 (100) -140

-2 Heavy Flamer

Fast Anti-tank and Anti-horde firepower.

1st Attack Bike Squadronx2 100pts
-2 Multi-Melta

2nd Attack Bike Squadronx2 100pts

Alternatively I was thinking of Scrapping the Attack Bikes to mount them in the Bike Squads to make those units more resilient.

I'd take 8 men Bike squad plus Attack Bike and drop the Rhino squads as they are out of place; the same holds for Landspeeders. Replace them by Scout Bikers. Leave the Attack Bike squadrons with multimeltas. A full Biker army is harder to deal with than a mixed force.
