Any ideas for the last 75 pts people?

I have considered a powerfist on the Scout Sgt, some extra armor for the Land raider, another land speeder...

chronus the tank dude

Disagree. Chronus costs nearly as much as the two predators - those tanks are good because they are cheap. Chronus is useless on the land raider because its guns are template or twin-linked already.

I'd say, Extra Armour the redeemer, buy some powerfists
OR
Get another speeder

How is 70 almost 170?
For the 70 pts though: Make the LR dedicated for the terminators and get another dakka pred or MM\HF speeder. Also swap a lightning claw guy for another Thundershield

To me the dreadnought and drop pod are, are 2 extra KP, or a small distraction at most. IMO Dreads need to be run double or none due to easy target priority. The scout squad is going to be another easy kill, and easy for target priority. Might be better to invest the points in either a few more speeders or another marine squad. As for the extra points left, I agree with extra armor for the LR and powerfists.

Scouts are hardly easy kill points. I had a game this weds where he spent 4 turns shooting at a 5 man squad until he finished it off.

Don't forget Chronus makes the vehicle immune to stunned and shaken as well.

Still, I would upgrade one of your predators to have Lascannon sponsons and buy a Storm Bolter for the other for more Dakka. This should help give you more ranged anti-tank, most of what you have now needs to be really close to be effective.

You could upgrade the Dreadnugget to be an Ironclad, that would help alot if you're going to go that route.

Drop the speeder storm and scout squad and buy another dreadnought so the one you already have has a buddie. You only have one drop pod, its needs support.

You also never said what weapons on the dread - I presume multimelta?

The Land Raiders w/assault termies is something else that should probably be run in pairs or not at all.

As to the extra points, how about combi-flamer for your tac sgts.
