1995 pts.

so this is the new list i see the storm troopers being flexable and i will use them to sway the flow of the game more than anything and to deal with problems.
The only thing that is new to me besides the ST is the 4th vet SQ with a HF and DEMO, i see it as being able to deal with troops more than the other vet sq and what do you guys think of its uses and flexability.

About the Stormies: better to take them 3 by 5 and packing meltas. Use them as suicide deep-strikers to scut back-field armor and artillery (especially since you lack the long-range AT that a Vendetta or two would provide).

Don't take a heavy flamer in the 4th vet squad, in a mech list a HF is never far away!

Nice list but a horde army may cause you problems close up, drop some melta for flamers. Other then thats its a strong force that will do great.

for the CCS I'd drop the standard add a 4th plasma

I agree with the 3x5man Storms, if you're deadset on taking them.
Personally I don't like them nor feel them useful in competitive play. I'd take Vendettas.

I would ditch the LRDEMO for a Manticore, and add HB sponsons to your Squadron LRBTs

Flamers don't truly belong on BS4 troops, add in another Melta and I'd drop the demo for points for some aforementioned changes

what would be good to take up the 420 pts if i take out the storm troopers and the demo/HF out of the vet sq i dont hav any vendetas unforunetly

Yeah, I would definitely recommend swapping out that Demo for something more useful, as with two basilisks and that many meltas you don't really need any more AV. Stormies should never be in squads of 10 unless you have a damned good reason, so you could take 15 with the same amount of special weapons and have another 100 points to play with, which could be spent on a few screening chimeras for your main troop body.
