The plan was to get as much flamers in the rhinos as I can, drop the 2 groups at 8", 12 boltguns shots and 6 flamer templates.
The half of the tac squad that got the ML will provide long range support, The Lascannon Preds anti tank and the Dakka pred will be anti infantry.

Look, you're going a little overboard with the flamers. HF razorbacks are a bad idea in itself, but if you want to flame stuff then they're actually counterproductive because they have no hatches so you can't use the flamers without getting out.

And did I mention they suck? You put the small end of the flamer template on the end of the turret (not anywhere like with hatch-fired weapons), so like half the template is lost unless you fire to the sides. But you can't even fire at all if you go faster than 6". Even worse, this is a tank you want in the thick of it, but as long as it's moving that slowly, it's going to be very vulnerable to assault. If you look at real flame tanks (hellhound, baal pred), you'll notice they're Fast, and there's a reason for that.

Also, I didn't even know this but based on your points it looks like they cost 60pts and that is just ridiculous. Keep both rhinos and try to make room for a MMHF speeder if you want more flamers. Or like, some bikers with flamers but that's going to run like 110. You could drop the power swords.

I think white scars and blood angel players like the TL heavy flamer. Even heavy bolter backs if they have meltaguns/plasmaguns inside and lascannons combat squaded at the back then the list would work well.

not quite getting your maths on this one each of your troops should be 265 not 290....

for starters stick with TL HB on your razorbacks (saves you 50pts) drop the PW and MB on your sgts (saves you 40pts) and factor in the 50pt saving from your miscalculation and youve got another 140pts to spend not to mention you should drop the dozer blade on the first pred (145pts saved)

with those points you could get 2 speeders with MM HF

Okay, all good ideas. Are the preds looking good?

Swap the LS weapons out for whatever, but what does 'tornado pattern' do?

those speeders could do with a tweak for a start the second with 2 MM must be stationary to fire both (or only move 6"cant remember) its much more effective if each one has a MM and a heavy flamer then they can move quickly and dual role(i dont normally advocate it but it works on speeders)

also id say the dozer blade on your dakka pred and the meltabombs on your sgts arnt worth it. The dozer blade because the pred shouldnt be trying to go through difficult terain and the meltabombs because you have 4LC 3AC 3MM and a missile launcher for anti tank.

the 15 points are much better spant on giving the libbi a combi melta/plasma that hits on a 2 and will vaporize a marine or possibly a tank either way you get the points back

hope this helps
