So i'm not sure if i should include a third tactical squad or a scout squad plus dreadnought. What do you think dakka?

I'd personally go for the scout squad and Dread, but 30 Tac marines in rhinos is pretty tough.

But if your considering other changes, I think the Razorback should have a Las/Plas, because you already have your Vindicator and AC/HB pred as ranged anti-infantry, with only 1 Dread and 1 Predator for ranged anti-tank (and the MLs), just take a look at your own list, lots of mech... You obviously need the ability to kill troops that come out of the tanks you blow up, but i'm not sure you have enough ranged anti-tank. But I could be wrong.

I would go with the extra tactical squad.
On the definite dreadnought, is the combo of an extreme long range shooting weapon and extreme close range shooting weapon.

Alright, how does this look. I added the Typhoon for some more MLs. I actually love the TLLC/heavy flamer dreadnought. He packs a good punch from far away and up close, I usually use him to guard a home objective, and he does it pretty well.

Maybe drop the Predator and take the scout squad anyway. This way they can sit on an objective and snipe, allowing the rest of the tac squads to scoot across the field and seize ground.

Which predator do you suggest dropping?

The one with AC and HBs. Just take them bare minimum, they are there to just hold an objective and be a harrassing unit. They aren't terribly effective against anything other than some GEQ, but they make it up by freeing up your other tac squads to move.
