With this list I absolutely mowed down a tyranic swarm list, but only managed to draw with the objectives..

1 librarian 100

x2 predator auto cannon HB 85x2 170

LR redeemer w/ MM 250

x10 tac squad melta /w RL (sits in LR) 175

x5 tac squad w/ pwr weap 105

x10 assault squad w/ flamer 200

1000 points.. What do you think

I'm guessing; this would be because you have 1.5 troops?

I'd beef up the second crew to a full 10.

What powers?

Again, I'm guessing; These are the reason for your victory, both being very anti-horde and bugs not having great anti-tank. He didn't have a choir (Zoes) did he?

Without a great deal of changes to your list, I'd put the 5 man crew in the LRR as they're more fragile and need the protection. The other crew should be outside where their RocketLauncher *might* so something ... and their greater amount of bolters, too.

The points spent on the 5 man sgt's pwr weap should be here.

I'm betting that the next opponent who has better anti-Tank will take your lunch money.

A savvy opponent will concentrate on the bagging the LRR and subsequently its passengers. The other 5 man troop is a tidbit to swallow. Then you're back to fighting for a Draw.

The second crew needs a rhino ... or to come in Reserve, but the rhino is better. I wouldn't cut anything from your list. I'd add 2 rhinos, and 15 marines, working your way to at least 1250 points games.

Opponent had 2 zoeys, but 1 got shot down before it could launch an attack, and the other failed its first physic test, then missed its attack on the second.

I see what you mean.. yea it was because of a lack of troops that I only drew. I like the idea of maybe removing some assault marines, buffing the 5man to a 10man, and adding a rhino for the other crew. Ill add up the points now
