Um question on the tac squads. Melta and Las/plas cannon? And the PF? I don't like the PFs, myself, and I'd rather have tac squads of Melta, MM or Flamer, ML(MM). Doing that would give you enough on the sternguard list, at least, to grab one more Land speeder (HF/MM) and maybe something else cool? Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Stop! Hammer Time!

Someone had to say it

Edit:
But seriously. I like the TH list. Just a thought, but why the odd LR amidst two LRR? You could make all three LRR, EA, MM...

**dkellyj**

The odd LR is because I only have 2 normal and 2 redeemers.
1 of my normals is magnetized but I'm not sure if my bitz-bin has enough stuff to make a passable flamestorm cannon (unless I just cheese an IG heavy flamer bit to the end of Heavybolter mount...hmmm)

**wtwlf123**

Change the Las's on the Tacs for MMs and then use the points to make all the LRs Crusaders. If you do that, either list will be fine.

**xlEternitylx**

Meh. Not a fan of the Crusaders. Since he will be moving 12" every turn to get his THs in play ASAP, he can only fire one gun. Both the LRR and LRC have the Assault cannon, which is the gun that gets used 99% of the time on the go. Then, once you arrive, you are close enough with the LRR that the Str 6 AP 3 template can absolutely lay the hurt down. I'd take Str 6 AP 3 Ignore Cover over 3 bolters any day.
