HQ:
Belial (TH&SS) = 130

Libby (???) = 100

Troops:
10xTacticals (ML, Flamer, Combi-F) = 180
Rhino = 35

10xTacticals (ML, Flamer, Combi-F, LC) = 195
Rhino = 35

5xDW Termies (4xTH&SS, LC, CML, Apoth) = 265*

5xDW (TH&SS, CML) = 235*

Fast:
Storm Talon = 130

MMAB = 50

MMAB = 50

Elites:
Dread (LC,ML) = 145

Heavy:
Vindicator = 115

Vindicator = 115

ACLC Pred = 120

Fort:
Aegis (Quad) = 100

So, Im trying to build a nice somewhat fluffy list that doesnt spam too much. However, I would still like to keep it somewhat competitive. What do you guys think about this?
Vindicators will help deal with Biker Nobz and TWC which are a few of the thing that my TH&SS termies wont like to face in CC.
The Tactical squad without the LC combat squads and uses the Quad gun which along with my lone Stormtalon will do the heavy lifting when it comes to anti air.
The Dread and the Pred should be able to get some nice cover from the aegis as well. While I know that the LC/ML dread isnt the best choice I really like the model so I would like to keep it in the list. Everything else is negoitable.
The Rhinos protects the flanks of the Vindicators (Maybe I should drop the LC for 3 sets of dozers?)
The main problem Im having is to decide what powers to take on my Libby (wish I could take Divination)

I would recommend dropping the attack bikes.

Grey Knights 2500
Orks 1500
High Elves 2000

Ok...why is that and what would you replace them with? Some fast moving melta is always nice IMO, and with T5 they wont get instakilled by MLs anymore. I guess speeders could be nice aswell but what should I cut in order to get some in?

I prefer speeders for my melta delivery, but the ABs work.

Overall, a good solid all-around list.

If your battle plan involves combat squads, buy razorbacks rather then rhinos.

If you don't have a firm idea for the Librarian, why did you take him? I think the need to include one for psychic defense is not nearly as important in 6th as it was in 5th. Yes, you will boost the defense of one or two units, but not the board spanning hoods of old. Putting him in with the combat squad moving forward is probably your best choice, depending on what you roll for powers.

I dislike rolled powers. If I take a librarian he has a job to do, and his powers are integral to that.

Thanks for the comments! I chose the libby becasue I need a mandatory HQ for my main detatchment (Which are the marines) I guess I can go with the Avenger/Null Zone combo which has worked well for me in the past. Even despite the nerfbat hitting the hood with everything it had I still think that the LIbby is the best 100pts choice in the Vanilla codex. Maybe I should try and give him Termie armour and a shield so that he can hang out with the TH&SS termies and Belial...Dropping the bikes and the the LC would give me enough pts to do that as well as get a DA Typhoon...

I would take a librarian with terminator armour and storm shield.

I think 3 vindicators and a couple of razorbacks would work better in your list as the tanks. This becomes a rolling mech wall.

That leaves long range support to the units behind the ADL.

Beyond that I think your fast attack options need to work better together.
The stormtalon would be better with some sort of missiles.
Attack bikes are great melta source.
a DA Typhoon is cheap.
2 or 3 stormtalons seems to work well, this might be the better option?

Good luck, you seem to have some very reasonable ideas
