Hey everyone. I haven't played in 6th edition yet, but was trying to build up a roster for an upcoming tournament, and would appreciate any feedback you would have. So without further ado:

HQ
Tycho (Warlord)- 175

Elites
Sternguard squad - 285
7 Sternguard, 5x combi-meltas
Sarge w/ Power fist
Drop Pod

Sang. Priest Corbulo - 105

Troops
Assault Squad - 202
8 Assault troops, 1x Infernus pistol
Sarge w/ Power sword
Drop Pod instead of JP

Scout Squad - 157
6 Scouts w/ Sniper Rifles, Camo Cloaks
Sarge w/ Sniper Rifle, Locator Beacon

Death Company - 325
5 Death Company
Lemartes

Death Company Dreadnought - 150
Dread w/ Blood Talons, HF, Melta, Magna Grapple

Heavy
Stormraven Gunship - 230
TL MM, TL Plasma Cannon, Hurricane Bolters

Fast
Bike Squad - 220
4 Bikes, Melta, Flamer
Attack Bike w/ MM
Sarge w/ Power Sword

Total Points: 1849
Total Models: 42

Tycho will join the Sternguard in their Drop Pod
Corbulo will join the Assault squad in their Drop Pod
Lemartes and DC, DC Dread will board the Stormraven
Scouts will hopefully be hiding somewhere on the middle of the table with the Locator Beacon to help with Deep Striking units
Bikes will hide in my deployment zone and flank

hi, mate !

tycho is not worth the points, take a libby or recclusiarch.

you´re quite low on scoring units and also drop pod them in, so when they´re gone (1 to 2 turns after deployment) what have you got left? a few sneaking scouts isn´t much.

running only one sang.priest in a 1850 army is not enough.

consider a solid devy squad with 4 ML for 130 points.

the stormraven is awesome but the hurricane bolters are crap, drop it and save the points. of course by using it as transport for your DC and the scary DC dread you´re offering a very tempting target with 705 points !

only one drop pod goes in on gt1 due to drop pod assault so that unit will get a serious pounding.

can´t say much about bikes, I sometimes run 3 attack bikes with MM.

Well, this is certainly not a tournament worthy army.
Tycho, Sternguard, small DC, no fire support. This can hardly work.
I'd take a Librarian, Assault Termies in a Storm Raven, Assault Marines, Predators (auto/las and Baal), Vindicator.
