Only thing ill probly change around is the lascannon in the tactical squads to a plasma cannon so I can take advantage of the inq allies ability to nuke deep strikers. That is unless you think I don't have enough anti tank.

So what do you all think I could use the 100 points for and is this a good list?

Looks solid, like you have all your bases covered

An idea i came up with was adding this guy:
Elites - techmarine - servo-harness, 1 servitor, combi-melta - 100

He will simply support your cause, and there will likely be many instances that his repairing skills will be appreciable.
And he's conveniantly exactly 100 points

very nice I look forward to testing the power of the emperor's minions in the tournament if I face you hehe.

Ah hey callum tournys at 1850 now terry changed it. And I do like the idea of the techmarine. Dont know how often he will get used but I already have one painted up so I suppose he will do nicely.

Ill decided after a few more posts. Any one else have some comments on this list?

Sweet I am glad Terry changed it that gives me some extra points to use on heavy support and what not, epic!

Drop Machine Curze for Avenger.

Drop the Power Fists from the tacticals, sorry dude but your dreaming if you think a PF will save the other 4 marines if they get assaulted by anything in CC that thing would be useful against.

Instead, give the squad a Meltagun and the Sergeant a combi-flamer and meltabombs.

Get another Squad of these tac marines and drop the scouts.

DH inquisitor is OK but you only need 2 Mystics and don't need sancuary and he doesn't need a plasma pistol. Stick him in a rhino if you can or chim. but w/e.

Drop the terminators and with the points upgrade the AB --> LS w/ MM/HF and drop the Assault Squad for Dreadnoughts w/ MM/HF/DCCW.

Something like that would get you a decent gunlinesk army.

So your saying drop something which is fairly long range for something which is shorter ranged and make a gunline out of it?

Well, Just in my opinion, I based my suggestion out of your troops. Scouts really just don't cut it in most competitive lists and the rest of your army was very foot based.

What was fairly long range? The Assault Squad was kinda and take my advise, DS terminators in the open don't last long (I play deathwing). So yes I am suggesting go gunline out of what you have.

an assualt cannon for a hf dread.... well... And at anyrate a ls is not qiet as good as an attack bike imo. plus it costs more points wise.

Well it's a MM / HF / DCCW dread lol. You could put an assault cannon on it truthfully but the MM is just nastier vs. tanks.

LS is actually better than an AB. For 65 or 70 points w/e you get a Skimmer with a Heavy Flamer AND a Multi-Melta, immune to small arms fire and can pass over terrain without penalty, and can't be ID'd.

It is preference though.

by small arms fire you mean anything lower then a bolter right? Theres far to many str 4+ guns out there for my liking specially when the new puppies codex is out. I was thinking about the id for my attack bikes and I belive ive solved the problem. Why not tak on 3 bikers onto each. Id have to drop something somewhere but it would keep them alive alot longer.

Do you think its a points sink or a viable tactic?

Lascannons on the razorbacks are over priced and makes your semi weak transport a more of a target.

Two attack bike with multimeltas? Prime targets. Add number with bikes to give bigger units. Speeders are good too.

5 assault marines won't last long unfortunately.
