Sweet bazinga what is this thing on top of me. Oh those are Servo-arms? Pretty cool. Anyway, here is the 2000pts Codex Space Marine list for fun and profit.

Librarian - Terminator Armour - Null Zone - Machine Curse
Master of the Forge - Conversion Beamer

5x Sternguard - 5 Combi-melta - Drop Pod
5x TH/SS Terminators - Land Raider Redeemer w/ MM

Scout Squad - Camo Cloak - Sgt w/ Shotgun + Sniper Rifle
Tactical squad - 5 man - Razorback LasPlas
Tactical squad - 5 man - Razorback LasPlas
Tactical squad - 5 man - Razorback TL Lascannon

2x Attackbike - MM
Scout Bike Squad - Cluster mine - Combi-melta Melta bomb

Predator - AC LC sponson
Predator - AC LC sponson
Thunderfire cannon

The sternguard are going in unprotected which sounds a little fool hardy.

Scout sgt. could do with a sniper rifle at least as he has BS4, unless you feel the need for combimelta for example.
Telion is probably a good idea.

Bike to make MotF relentless.
Extra armour to keep the raider moving.
More interesting set up for bike scouts.

Having just a single cannon sitting at the back is probably not a good idea. You can not rely on a single cannon do damage when you need it, then it will be lonely and vulnerable.

I don't want MoTF to move anywhere since he will be sitting in terrain with the Thunderfire cannon. This give them both 3+ cover save.

The Scout squad with Camo Cloak will have 2+ cover save in the same ruin. In the case the TFC is wrecked, the MoTF will join the scouts giving him also 2+ cover save.

Of course, I can start him out with the scouts giving him 2+ cover save. I don't think he needs to go anywhere since I have my side of 18" covered with LR and Razorback LasPlas. At 18"+, his shots are all Str 8.

Can you comment more on what you mean by "more interesting set up for the bike scouts"? That setup gives them almost 50% of blowing up a Land Raider on a alpha strike.

I agree that Sternguard will die. But I don't have an Ironclad Dreadnought to help them out yet.

so, two techmarines, one that mans the TF Cannon and the Master of the Forge?

Interesting...

Yup, when the gun die, they both now have 2+ cover save + 2+ armour save when joining into the scout sniper squad with camo cloak.

When the gun hasn't died, the TFC can shoot at a different target from the MoTF conversion beamer.

The rest of the stuff is just the typical setup of Space Marine.

Would the techmarine benefit from the cloaking? I didn't think they did. Also I don't think the normal techmarine can join the scout squad.

Techmarine in tfc is an ic when the gun is destroyed. Motf is an ic. So they can join scouts. Faq already says that units with stealth confers them to squad.

Camo cloaks are wargear. Only Telion would confer stealth to the whole squad (and making the cloaks irrelevant while he is alive).

Also I knew that Motf was an IC I didn't know that the techmarine was as well.

The Techmarine becomes an IC when the cannon dies.

Alright, good to know; I just picked up some tfc's today... So I should probably familiarize myself with them.

Models wearing camo cloak has Stealth special rule. And they give that to the squad they are in.
