I was reading over the codex, and I was thinking about using the Armageddon Fleet list in the imperial fleets pdf. Its the mixed imperial and Space marine army list, although I am just using pure space marines (1 BB and 7 SC).

The reason I am doing this is because all fleet commanders, including master of the fleet get a free reroll. The space marine list does not get a free reroll. The only drawback I see is that you are attack rating 2 instead of 3.

Is there any other drawbacks with this? Is this legal? Am I missing anything?

Space Marine list Master of the fleet does get a free re-roll iirc..
Plus the additional re-rolls are cheaper.

Your approach is legal.

I can't find the wording that says he gets a free reroll.

Huh...by golly, I think you are right steve. A close reading of the Adeptus Astartes list reveals that there is no automatic provision for a Master of the Fleet re-roll. Based on the fact that it says "Buy 1 re-roll" vs. "Buy 1 extra re-roll" seems to indicate this was not an accident. I never noticed that!

Anyway, as for your approach, it is a rather novel idea! If you only want 1 or 2 re-rolls, this could save you 25 points (although it is no difference points-wise at 3). Also, you could use this idea to give the SM commander 4 re-rolls, where the Astartes list normally limits him to 3.
