Its an out of the box list. Semi-competitive. The army lacks focus. I hate those Tacticals, they can be split but the 5 men with the special weapon are unprotected.

swap out your thunderfire cannon and attack bikes for a unit of sternguards with droppod and hammer things down nice and easy

i personally like heavy bolter over ML to go with sniper scouts

I dissagree with SKurk3n. If your going to drop, go all the way, if not, then don't do it. I think that the termies should be given either heavy flamers, or assault cannons, then put in the LR. The flamer squad would be one of the few squads that I can think of that would benefit from a multi melta.

Lose the thunderfire cannon. Take instead 2 rhinos, put your flamer squad, and melta squad in the rhinos, and you have a small armored column, lead by a LR, supported by a Dread, a whirlwind, Snipers, and a tac squad. hiding behind your tanks, ready to rush out and assault, are your assault squad, and biker squads, which should be given at least 1 more guy a piece.

ok, thanks. I will try to make a new list.

What do you think of this?

I still don't like the thuderfire. I think that it's just too much dakka at the expense of objective capturing units. However, If your absolutely sold on it, I would get rid of the assault squad, or Land speeders, and make your Tac sqads better.

Give your sergeants in your primary objective capturing squads some candy, like PW.

Its starting to become a really good list though

Thanks
