Pretty straight forward. I have been evolving to this list since the codex came out, and I think this is probably the best all comers version I have.

Thoughts?

I'd probably vote for las/plas over assault cannons as the assault cannons force you to come closer to utilise them and if they explode 5 marines without fnp are pretty squishy.

Otherwise looks pretty nasty tbh.

Yeah go for Las/Plas. It also extends the shooty life of your razorbacks since they are considered 2 weapons and not just one.

Other then that. Drop the infernus pistols.They are a waste IMO. That frees up 90 points for a priest to toughen up your ASM or maybe a typoon speeder to add to the shooty aspect.

Those infernus are necessary as it sits - a single melta shot is nearly irrelevant, but with the infernus at least I get two shots.

I have 6 scoring units at 1850, I don't care to lose a few. Power armor isn't that easy to kill - They never get shot at (there are 10 tanks that are very dangerous on the board - 5 marines are below low priority - and if you do charge them they usually last long enough to let me shoot you after your sweeping advance.

If I had las/plas turrets, I would consider them, but the assault cannons are nasty on fast razorbacks!

Can you further explain this? Infernus pistols are just more expensive, shorter range meltaguns.

Playtesting has been very good to me - 7-0-2 agains solid armies and generals. One of the draws was my fault and should have been a win and the other was a solid GK player who played well.

I am liking the build.

More power to you on this kind of list. 17 kill points? Really?

Yup. Not as easy to get as you might think, though. It has bad matchups, but I have been fortunate in that all of the kp missions I have played were not these unfavorable builds.

I won KP against GK purifiers and IG hybrid. The rest have been objectives of some number or another...
