Good Day!

Looking for some C&C on a "take all comers" Vulkan list I dreamed up for 6th edition. Any criticism is welcome! Thanks

vulkan and
5 sternguard: sgt PF and C-M, 2X HF, 2X C-M
in a Razorback (barebones)

10 tactical marines: sgt PF and C-F, flamer, MM, Rhino

1 barebones techmarine with a
devastator squad (5 man): 2X PC, 2X ML...
Squatting in an Aegis Defence line with Quad Gun

It makes a lot of sense to me, but I've been wrong before lol. Thanks dakkites!

This looks like a fairly solid list to me and seems pretty well rounded to take on mist thing. I do not know what your local game scene looks like but when I am list building I try and take that into consideration.

How well do you think it will do against a 2000 point 2 x FOC list though?

For instance does it have enough to hold up against Space Wolves with MSU in Razorbacks and 6x Long Fang spam? If luck goes even a little bit against you I think losing 6 or more vehicles a turn could be a possibility against that type list in this edition.

I am not aware of anyone running that list yet but I would think it will show up eventually. The other thing to consider is perhaps the renewed viability of Terminators in the new edition. I am not sure your list could hold up too well against a Deathwing type army or possibly Grey Knights.

Of course I am not sure how you would change your list to deal with those type lists and still retain its all around feel.

Are you assuming the enemy may be 2FoCs as they can be very mean to you.

I think Vulkan is a little too many points for you, I am not sure you are making enough of him.

I would give the sternguard a rhino.
Then drop the fist on the tactical squads, then go combimelta+melta, as they are more important in general. Maybe have one squad with flamer.

The vindi gives you short ranged antitank and antiinfantry. I feel there are better ways to do this in a Vulkanised list.
I would go for las/auto preds for long range cover, though this is dependent on changing the fast section which does this right now. Then something like more sternguard or a dread will be better for the vindi contribution.
Keep the vindis if you lose Vulkan.

Not really liking your fast section at all.
Stormtalons probably need to come in numbers to work well, otherwise it is a lots of points in something weak, which you need to survive to shoot down other flyers.
Personally I would run MM attack bikes, these will be supplier of reasonable antiflyer and of general awesomeness.

Otherwise probably 3 stormtalons if you want them.
Maybe 3 tlautocannon dread will do the longrange fire power and antiflyer.
Or maybe just heavy bolter+typhoon landspeeders. These are cheaper and can stay way back and fire all their guns whilst supply enough shots to try at flyers, this will not be enough antiflyer so I would add a quad gun with an ADL and probably sniper scouts with Telion, to use the quad gun.
