Axes are +1 Strength and AP2, nothing to smirk at but enough to keep someone honest.

So right now I have the list updated and its 2000pts on the dot if i did my math correct. What seems weak or what could I change around?

I would suggest that you have one of the squadrons of two move up with the horde and you have the other three LRBT in the squadron of one and two to sit back. Thier primary purpose is to pump out pie plates, whilst the other tanks are to protect your infantry... AND shoot. What this means, is that you have the options to shoot at multiple targets even if the Vanguard tanks are destroyed.

Thats what I was thinking as If I sent out the 2 and 1 tank squadrons I would lose fire power in the number of units that the 2 tank squadron behind the line would only be able to fire at 1 target. Once I get another 2 infantry Squads I will probably drop a russ and blob up another squad to run out as well.

I have the quad gun to deal with fliers and I believe I have enough heavy weapons to bring more than 1 down a turn.

I also feel I have enough fire support on the ground that I will just be able to drown my opponents in fire before they get to my line and once they do they will also have to deal with the 2 tanks and blob advancing. not to mention I have the 2 stormy squads to also assist that unit as it advances.

With the amount of lascannons and melta stormies I believe I will be able to deal with AV 14 very well and I think with my autocannons and battle tanks I have horde and light armor also covered as well. Now if my opponent spams fliers which no one does at this store(yet) then I think this list will do fine.

Only weak point that I see is capturing my opponents objectives. I do have 2 chimeras in the list so I could even mount up 2 squads to also fallow the blob and tanks to make and even deadlier push. But that will also weaken my gunline down even more. But once I get 2 more infantry squads then that should be fine.

With how many shots my army has weight of fire and the high strength and melta bombs will take out monstrous creatures very nicely.
The power axes will be great as thats 12 hits from that blob with s5 ap2 weapons which will tear monstrous creatures apart and if dread or tanks come at me those melta bombs will be perfect!
