I know it uses a named character. Ill rename him an appropriate Ultramarine name though. Im looking for a good Take-on-all-comers list that I can feel confident with even not knowing what my opponent is bringing.

10 Terminators; Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield

5 Space Marine Bikes, Flamer
1 Attack Bike; Multi-melta

2 Land Speeder Squadrons; Heavy Bolter and Typhoon Missile Launcher


Ill hit parking lots with infiltrating Termies and a drop pod Ven Dred, maneuvering with Bikes to the hard-to-get-to places.

Ill thin swarms with TML's and Flamers - though i dont there is enough in here to do it well.

Lascannons, TML's, MM's hit Valkyries, TMC's and transports.

Adjustments and criticisms welcomed.

Got some proper christmas spirits in me but doesn't the shrike+fleet terminators rely pretty heavily on a land raider?

The rule says to deploy more than 18" away when infiltrating (or 12" out of LOS), that's not achievable with 6+d6+6". You need a land raiders' 12" movement to pull off the first turn assault.

Therefore I would drop some terminators for a godhammer or crusader land raider. I would also drop the captain because it's too much points for a single scoring bike squad, especially when you have two tacsquads already.

edit: grammar, spelling

I believe they are meant to act as a meat shield. A meat shield which will have to be killed in the first turn, assuming they have covered the exits. A meat shield which is very hard to kill.

The bikes could get a first turn strike. Also shrike would be able to assault by himself, which would be good if he had melta bombs, I guess.

otherwise your list looks a little all over the place, you are going to have 10 loose marines at the back, then only two tanks, than a bunch of bikes, this isn't working together for me.

Also shrike is a token character. I am not sure what you'll do against DoA BA list or a drop pod army.
