i was leafing through the new codex and thought it would be neat to add some slightly dark admech marines to my chaosy guard. this is the list:

Master of the Forge
+ Conversion Beamer
+ Bike
155

Ten-man Tactical Squad
+ Rhino + x.armour
220

Ten-man Tactical Squad
+ Rhino + x.armour
220

Six-man Sternguard Squad
+ Melta Bombs
155

Land Raider
250

1000

the MotFoB hangs back to max out the beamer, the sternies go into the raider and depending on the enemy, i either combat squad the tacs or not. also i'm in the lucky position to have enough goons to decide what heavy weapon to give them right before the game.^^
and yes, taking a landraider in 1000 points won't make me nicest gamer on earth, but if i want my opponent to have a good time, i'll let him shoot up my guardsmen.

The Biker HQ can be targeted. I'd take a MotF on foot and let him join the Sternguard equipped with combi-meltas and a Vet Serg with power fist and combi-melta.

the point of the motfob is the mobility provided by the bike. the c-beamer is a heavy weapon, and the range at which it's most useful lets only things like railcannons and lascannons fire at him.
