Idea is everything besides Land Raiders and Master's of the forge infiltrate in cover. Scouts get between 2+ and 4+ cover saves with camo cloaks and bolster defenses.
Masters can stay at max range to make sure their weapons benefit the most. Land Raiders can have a squad of 5 scouts in each to drive around and control objectives.

It's a very static shooty army however everything is in cover to make shooting/assaulting difficult.

hmm didnt know you could have 2 masters of the forge it looks like it could be a fun army but scouts are kinda weak now so it will be a hard battle.

The army has no counter-strike capabilities.

The Masters sit at maximum range. But watch out for infiltrators.

Why not use some scouts as this:

1 CC Scout Sergent equipped with Melta-Bombs
4 Melee/Bolter Scouts
4 Sniper Scouts
1 Heavy Bolter (or, if you prefer Rocket Launcher scout).

Combat squad them. Use the melee group to melta-bomb a tank on your first turn. Keep your snipers back as firing support.

It's an idea I've been toying with. I don't actually know how effective it is quite yet but it would help with your anti-armour issue.

Personally, I like the hellfire heavy bolter rounds more than the rocket launchers but for your purposes the rocket launcher is probably better.

As far as the rest of the army goes.. I have no bloody idea. I'm not much of a marine player yet though I will definitely go scouts when I get around to the marines I do have. I like the flavor of them and I think they can be quite amazing.

I'm not sure that I'm sold on the idea of taking the land raider with troop transport in mind. Considering you have Infiltrate AND Scout why would you ever need a big bulky transport? Perhaps the points would be better spent in a 'naught or something. (Part of this is also personal bias against land raiders as dey make da waagh less killy!)

Also perhaps add scout bikers?
