In Firenze kicking Templar arse.

Get another Vindicator to wipe the smirks off their faces! Also, your first Speeder isn't all that good. Marine armies should take full advantage of their elites choices. Some Assault Termies with TH and SS should do. Captain would be better off with a Relic Blade and Artificer Armour or Termie Armour to lead your termies. Against Tau, the Termies Deep Strike and wipe out Hammerheads or Broadsides. Second Marines should have Drop Pods. And you can only have 4 Troops. Kill the bikes, and the bike for your captain, and get all the stuff I have reccomended. Devastators with only Missiles ain't that strong.

vindicators are a good choice. maybe drop the dev for another vindicator. drop the bikes and give my tactical unit a drop pod and maybe use the other points letf for assault terminators?

I would get Telion instead of the camo cloaks. He is worth the extra 20 points.

Actually I think you lack long ranged attack. So a vindi and dev. squad will not be good. Either 2 preds or 2 dev. squads are needed.

Also at this points range you do need a cc hammer. I would go for command squad with stuff rather than the assault termies that have been suggested.

I would go for mulitmelta attack bike instead of two of your bikes. Then double gun the special weapons, so maybe double plasma. Then I would not go for a powerweapon as it will not help you in cc and you need keep away cc anyway.

Your land speeder would like a partner, but I guess he is a suicide deepstrike unit in general.

I have no idea how good your storm unit will be. I would not go with a powerfist but instead just some meltabombs.

Most of this is useless advice and you shouldnt follow it.

Devastators are usually not worth it if you have models for something else. 4 Missile Launchers are still acceptable, though. Command Squad is never better than Assault Terminators if you keep them at the same price level. If you drop 2 bikes then the squad no longer counts as a troops choice. The CCW scouts are a good choice, I fit a Combi-melta in mine. Do not ever take Melta Bombs over a Powerfist.

Your list looks decent, however I don't know why the Captain instead of a Librarian. The Bike Captain capitalises on using bikes as troops, but you only have 1 squad of that. The second Tactical Squad needs a Rhino. Marines always need their vehicles.
