Forgive my ignorance, but in what sense is this fluffy?

fluffy?
where?

The list looks solid. But you've got 5 points left. Why don't throw in a melta bomb somewhere? Or something else.

maybe random smoke on sentinel?

what's the use of that? You'll only conceal one Sentinal. And besides the scout Sentinals are there to outflank, right? that makes them come in at turn two if you are lucky. why rob one of them another turn of shooting in favor of a cover save?

I'm curious, why is the officer of the fleet in your list? Is your regular opponant using drop troops of any kind? If not, I say drop him. He'll only subsract 1 from the enemies reserve roll. that's basically 30pts down the drain. The astopath might be better if you choose to outflank the sentinals that is.

officers ability also has second effect
that keeps stealers etc. from eating my boxes from behind

sentinels dont outflank
they prob jog at the flanks and take pot shot if they can

oh well kraks on command instead smoke?
not like that 5p has large effect anyway

oke.

But why krak grenades? Melta bomb on Command costs equal points, and Melta bombs are beter

But this is just nitpicking. The list is good. One extra melta bomb won't make a difference with all the melta guns you included.

I'm just saying there are a lot of ways of spending those last five points.

Ha, I mistook your thread title with another. I was wondering what particularly made this list Steel Legion.

er...Maybe the mechanised part? You can't really define a steel legion army other then being mechanised.

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking. I guess a Steel Legion army should also have plenty of templates and pie plates for krump'n' sumuv da boyz.

That's where the Leman Russes come in

Looks lean and mean to me. Good work.

Last 5 I'd go with bolt pistols on the PC's and a searchlight on one of the sents, or a meltabomb on the commander.

Upgrading one melta to a plasma somewhere is another option.
