I have posted to many lists already but whatever

So after I played in a LGS tournament I have decided to go in a different direction. The problem with my lists was that I was putting a lot of points into Razorbacks, but I only had 3. I also used Terminators in a Land Raider which has finally proven to be more of a point sink than anything else. Leave the death star at home for 2000 point games. I managed to ask a few people what they thought I was missing. We all agreed about dropping the Termies. So I figured I'd ask around for opinions.

Librarian - X pts

20 points left, What should I do with them?

Tactics are sit back and shoot. Librarian can lay down a template or put some hurt on anything relying on invul saves. Turboboost the speeders then use them to crack AV14 or Flame groups of infantry. If they die at least they stopped the enemy from firing at my other stuff. Sternguard can tackle just about anything whether that is gunning down MCs with hellfire rounds and Meltas or denying cover saves from hordes with Flamers and kraken bolts. Predators can crack most any vehicle with maximum shots for minimum price. The Thunderfire cannon can seriously damage hordes or slow foot slogging assault troops by forcing difficult terrain checks, and after his cannon wrecks, the Techmarine can run around backfield fixing weapon destroyed or immobilized vehicles on a 4+. He can also bolster a ruin. Meaning I can place an objective in a ruin, put the scouts in there and get a 2+ cover save. I can also place the Cannon in that ruin for a 3+ cover save. Scouts can either assist in MC hunting with sniper rifles or Shoot a BS6 rocket because of Telion, and they can hold a home objective.

what do you guys think?

More LasPlas Razorback, less Dozerblade but that is just me.

For 165 you can get a tactical squad with Razorback LasPlas. That gives you more long range weapons than your 210 pts Rhino Tac combination.

Telion with less than 10 sniper scouts is a waste of his points IMHO.

I would swap a rhino with your razorback. Sternguard can shoot from a rhino. and 5 man ML combat squad can sit with the cannon.

I would go melta guns with your tac. squads and combimeltas for your sternguard.

It all looks very reasonable to me.

The list looks good for an all comers list, You have enough fast moving meltas to get rid of a land raider and you have enough mobility for your troops so you can get to an objective and sit. I wouldn't take razor backs on your Tactical squads, if you needed to move them in a hurry you would be screwed with a large squad. Where as a rhino you can shoot from in side and move a whole unit up if need be. Telion seems like a suicide unit with that many scouts, but i have seen him tear things up with a low number in the squad, Over all i think the list is actually pretty good, you should be able to take on everything that comes your way.

With your 20 points, put extra armor on the stern guard razor back to keep it moving, so you can get into that all important rapid fire range. Other than that, I would say put a plasma pistol on your libbie maybe, Or more scouts to bulk out that unit a little.
