Thought I would post my current list for review, I am trying to put together a 1500 point core that is fun and competitive that can be expanded or reduced based on game size so any suggestions are welcome.

Edit: the list might help, duh.

Looks good. Very interesting way to field those Tac squads.

I would try diversifying those Razorbacks. Give two of them TL Lascannons.

I agree with diversifying, when I was playing with build I had 8 and just deleted the bottom 3 it should be 2las/plas 2 ass can and 1 tl/lc.

Thanks.

Dunno about Fun but looks effective. Only thing I would try to do is add some combi weapons to help cover a lack of anti-tank.

I thought about that, but if I am close enough to use combi I am already proper f@@@ed.

This whole list, with the exception of the speeders, uses an armored crescent formation to cover the board with interlocking lanes of fire and then moves to objectives after softening anything that can capture/contest.

fun is relative when playing sm, if we dont bring our a game then we lose the game, I would like to make mech IG or MC spam work for the win as lately Ive been getting the proverbial mud hole stomped in me by both of those lists, and both of those players would rather work for it as it improves their game/lists and they play as team in any doubles tourney.
