I just completed putting together a list that I could use at my local gaming store. The two armies I will be up against on a regular basis will be SM and TAU. I would appreciate any advice/comments anybody may have...be gentle

HQ:
DP (Mos/Wings/Lash)=150
DP (Mos/Wings/Lash)=150

ELITES:
3xTERMI (3x combi-melta/1x PF)=105

TROOPS:
10x CSM (Icog/2x melta/1x PF/Rhino)=240
10x CSM (Icog/2x flamers/1x PF/Rhino)=230
7x ZERKS (1x PF/Skull Champion)=187
7x ZERKS (1x PF/Skull Champion)=187

HEAVY:
3x OBLITS=225

TOTAL=1,474

The DPs should be 155, not 150.

Split the Obliterators into separate groups since you only have one heavy support. Adds to target saturation and lets you split fire.

The Zerkers NEED rhinos. If you don't have the models, switch the Marines to foot-sloggers.

Use spare points to add combi-meltas to the Zerker rhinos.

**bagtagger**

Have all meltas on your marines. With lash you need as many ways as possible to de-mech your opponent. And yes you absolutely need rhinos for the zerkers. you might have to just take the champ away from the units to get points to add the rhino (zerkers can still do well without a PF).

Thanks for the swift responses!!! I'll make the changes that were proposed and run a few games to guage the success of this list.

**mercer**

Pretty much as others have said really. You need more meltas to de-mech the enemy units so you can lash them. Then get Rhinos for the Berzerkers so they can actually get into the fight and split the Oblits into seperate units, more fire power.
