Here's a list I threw together in the last hour... It started as three blocks of Sternguard in Razorbacks, and then I just added more tank. Obviously I dropped one of the Sternguard suqads to put Termies in. Basically cashing in the 40-pt razorbacks. I love that searchlights and smoke launchers are standard now; I always used to take smoke, but you could never take Razorbacks like this!

The multi-meltas could be missile launchers if their razorback keeps the lascannons. There's a good amount of accurate fire coming out of this army, which is wholly mech and still gun-line-able if needed. The obvious thing is lack of troop troops, and the small numbers of infantry in general, but there's also plenty of cover-on-wheels.

...and many many KPs. The Predators are sort of placeholders though. Any suggestions for replacement/improvement/filling points welcome. Obviously.

You can just get full squads and combat squad them into the Razorbacks, you know. That's what I would do instead of 6-man squads.

Really? Woah.

I'm just going to reel from that for a moment.

Obviously this means there will be a couple of free missile launchers sitting back now - cheers.


Hrm...
Don't recall if 5th had any problem with deploying outside of vehicles. The validity of that is in whether or not a 10-man squad could buy a Razorback and never get in it, like a big friggin weapons platform. Seems doubtful. Have you got anything to back up buying a razorback for a combat-squaddable unit?

You CAN just buy it as a gun platform.
I, however, would go 10-man Guard with P-Fist, 4 combi-meltas (these go in the RB), and 2 Lascannons or something. Split them up, and you have some brutal units.

I would give the devastators Las cannons, to provide more AT support

The Devastators are out of place. Take at least two full Tacticals and equip them correctly.

Now that I know I can take full tac squads I'll be working around that. Anti heavier-armour is lacking. This was just meant to be a bit of Razorback spam; I only actually have two.

I've never used Devastators seriously, and once again I don't need to. Nice to know.

Okay, three full tac squads. Tossed in scouts as placeholders for the last 75 points; I'm considering lascannons for the tac squads because there's enough firepower to not need frags.
Snipers - pinning is great, although orks and tyranids have their defenses against it... very few armies want to be pinned in front of this many heavy bolters

Well, looks much better. I'd take a Chapter Master with terminator armour and orbital bombardment.

Something in the back of my head keeps bugging me about combat-squadding into Razorbacks though. It's like the unit, and therefore the list, is illegal until it's deployed and you 'decide' to combat squad. I hate to argue against advantage, and I haven't got my books with me now, but has this been discussed anywhere?

A Tactical unit can buy a Razorback and be combat squadded. That's perfectly legal.
