Consider that to fire those meltaguns you need to get out putting your 5 man squad at risk. The point of Razorbacks is to not get out as you have fire power. Take Rhinos instead or Razorbacks with combi weap sgt only.

No point in Telion with snipers.

You don't need melta bombs with power fist, 3 attacks power fist or one attack melta bomb I know what I go for..

Terminators in Land Raider cannot fire so cyclone is pointless.

Assault Squads should be in pairs for redundancy.

Tanks come in pairs for redunancy, ditch the Whirlwind.

I'm not sure what you mean by redundancy... As for it's meaning, it means to make another obselete, so it's kind of a stupid thing to say [a redundant one if you will.]

Terminator squad is in two. the first one has a powerfist and CML combo [5 SB/PF, 2 CML]
and then the termie squad remaining is in the LR, ready to pop out and lay down some tank crushing [they had chainfists...]

and, meltas: they're 90 points. if it takes out a land raider, has it not just made up it's points, almost threefold?

the snipers are there to pick off large squads think about it. thats 7 chances to pin, not to mention a large blasts worth of 2+ wounds.

okay, the average is 5 hits with megablasta bolter.
thats about 4 wounds, and no armour save.

the snipers average 5 hits, and do around 4 wounds, and thats a pinning test.

What I mean is what happens when that single Assault Squad gets blown up? It's wasted that's what. But with two you have redundancy because when one becomes obselete you still have another

You still don't have Terminators on foot and ones in a transport which can shoot, wasting fire power. Deep strike them in, get teleporter homers.

What meltas are 90 points?

You don't pin hardly anything with high leadership tests and fearless and you counting on scoring a wound to pin and the game being 7 turns long. Scouts need 4+ to hit then 4+ to wound not very good. And Telion adds nothing, as already mentioned.

What's a megablaster bolter when it's a home? You mean heavy bolter? And if you do then still get armour saves, only wounds on a 2+

How can you average 5 sniper hits when you have 4 sniper rifles? Will never do 4 wounds at all as you don't get all to hit, they need 4+ to and must fail saves. You need to know the rules first and actually how Scouts work, because you'll find they don't.

Redundancy atleast in this instance meens to have more then one of the same unit. Incase one of the units dies you have another one that can do the same thing as the first, it lets you make your stratagey alittle more robust.

This doesnt work the way you think it works. A Land Raider has a maxiumum transport capacity of 16 models, and models in terminator armor count as two models for the purposes of transport capacity. The most you can put into a land raider is 8 models. Assult terminators are better then normal terminators in close combat, consider going to TH/SS instead of chainfists.

And if its destroyed by anything..... It just doesnt fit into this list, thats all the guy before me is trying to say.

Not sure where your getting the large blast from, I'm going to assume your getting it from Hellfire Shells from the heavy bolter? If so, its only a small blast template. When something uses a large template it either says large blast i.e. deathwind launcher or Ordanance.

Im not sure where you are getting no armor saves from, but poisned weapons still allow you to take an armor save...
