I love the Shrike model, and want to do a small army with and some assault terminators to take advantage of his fleet and infiltrator rules. With 6 models eating up nearly 400 points there isn't much room left for good stuff, but I am not trying to make the absolutely most competitive list out there.

Shrike - 195

5 TH/SS Terminators - 200

2x 10 Tactical Marines, Flamer, Missile Launcher, Power Fist - 390

2x Razorback with lascannons - 150

Landspeeder with MM and HF - 70

That puts me at 1005, close enough for government work.

The plan is to combat squad the two tactical squads, with the missile launcher halves staying back to babysit a home objective. The flamers/fists go ahead with in the razorbacks, either at combat or cruising speed depending on whether I need lascannon fire or quick aid to the terminators. The landspeeder outflanks to clean up tanks or hoards as necessary. Seems like an alright plan.

The big question is whether the lascannons are worth it at all. If I ditch the lascannons and the speeder, I have enough room for two dakka preds or a shooty dread. What do you think I should do with the flexible ~150 points I have in this list?

As your only other AT is the speeder (and termies once they reach combat) I'd say keep the lasbacks, or maybe keep one of them. One thing I'd do is drop the powerfist, really not worth its points and with the lascannons you shouldn't need to face off against enemy walkers with your squads. Use a power weapon or nothing at all and save the points. I will say that infiltrating fleet capable termies will give anyone the creeps so expect a good deal of shooting at this unit.

Drop the Power Fists (-50)

Take Power Swords (+30)

and Melta Bombs (+10)

and spend the 5pts on something nice, like, a melta gun, or something.
