This list is built to try and get a fair amount of armor on the board without sacrificing scoring units and killing power. My worry is that it might be too hybrid to really be effective.

Ironclad Dreadnought (HF, Melta), Pod - 180

On change I might make to this list are changing the Ironclads to regular Dreadnoughts and using the extra points to go from Rhinos to AC Razorbacks.

I would go all TH/SS on the assalt guys I would not take any lightning claws.

I' supprised you are taking the master of the Forge if you arent taking more dreads.

I went with claws for the extra attack, and the ability to strike before hidden fists. The MotF is there mainly for the extra dread in the HS slot so I can have two of them for saturation.

You could always take the Terminators as a squad of 10 and combat squad them each game, that way you can take your two Ironclads without needing the MOTF. You'd be better off taking a Librarian instead for the psychic hood and nullzone.

Yeah, good point, I never actually thought of doing that though my tac squads were meant to do it.

Yah I agree with above no need to for the MoTF and go all thunder hammers. But I would take a drop pod with the Thunderfire Cannon not the Tactical. Not to actually put the cannon in just so you can drop the two ironclads at the same time and drop an empty pod later. Looks like you plan on combat squading your tacticals (i.e. rocket launchers) if not take multi-meltas. If so take some razorbacks for all three tacticals to add some more firepower. Your a little light on anti-tank I would take standard Godhammer pattern Land Raiders with a multi-meltas

If you lose the MotF and second iron clad thats a lot of points that could get you a nice tank and some more speeders.

More Twin-linked Multimelta on Fast Vehicles is ALWAYS Good!!

I think your squad points are a little bit out a squad in rhino and a combi weapon and power sword should be 230 not 220 but an easy mistake to make.

Put scout in reserves to walk to clain any objectives later in the game, put vulkan in half of the Terminators and the wizard in the other both in redeemers.
Can even have 3 units of 2 MM attack bikes your preference.

or

drop the lv 2 on the wizard and the scouts and take 3 more MM attack bikes.

I like the list, it's what I was going for, but unlike my first look at the idea it's focused on a goal. The only change I might make is go from 2 squads of three MM Attack bikes to a regular bike squad with 2 flamers and an MM Attack Bike. However I'd need to play test before making that change.

To be honest, upgrading to level 2 isn't worth it in this edition. I think you'd be better off taking a Land Speeder Storm for your scouts.

Drop a fist in one of the Tacticals, and the upgrade to your Librarian, then you can take a LSS with a MM. First turn assaults and vehicle destruction!

Only thing I feel a bit iffy about is your single Rhino, I just think it is going to get broken, fast.

The single rhino would stay in reserve and roll on later or try to stay out of LoS. As for the LSS and first turn assaults, I like the idea, give them all shotties and have them try to smash a tank, or ruin a heavy weapon team's day.

Yeah, give the Sgt. a Combi-Melta too, it's guaranteed then.
