Got a mini tourny this weekend at local gaming club, it is 750 pts a piece, and you will be paired up randomly with other players so 2 on 2. It is resticted to 1FA 1 elite and 1 HS iirc

I was thinking of

Libby with vortex and gate

2x 10 man tac squads with heavy bolter and plasma gun each

2x attack bikes with either two heavy bolters or HB and multi melta

1x5 man devastator sqaud with 4 plsama cannons

Aim would be to pie plate the danagrous targets with the devs, use gate to jump libby and tacs around to either rapid fire or get to objectives and use attack bikes to either take out tanks if i take the MM or to harress the enemy

Thoughts?,

Im not a huge fan of so much Plasma Yea it can hurt your Oponent but at the same time one bad role and poof there goes a not so cheep Dev Squad.
I would change The Devs to missile launchers, If you need blast then throw out Frag if you need to pop Armored targets then Krak away.
Also I would Drop the Plasma out of the Libbys Tac Squad and replace it with a Melta, 2 Reasons Its cheeper and becouse you are not worrying about range as much seeing you are going to be bliping around the map.
I would also Drop one of the Attack Bikes then with pointes take a full bike squad to support our outher tac bike and give them Upgraides posibly (Dont have dex on me) just my thoughts

one bike squad is the cost of both attack bikes, I cant drop one attack bike at 45points for bike squad at 90 points, plus the combined 3 attack bikes is 3 wounds, 2 attack bikes is 4 wounds

I am leaning towards the plasma for ap2 and pie plate, lascannons can only hit one and krak missiles can only hit one

AS my attack bikers havent arrived its now looking like this


Libby with vortex and gate

2x 10 man tac squads with heavy bolter and flamer each
storm talon, standard load out (not sure on this as I reckon i will be facing a lot of aegis defence lines)
5x man dev squad just because any anti tank will be focused on my one tank if i take any other heavy support

I can have a play and field some bikers but having not used them yet I am not really feeling them?, would have liked to have used the attack bikes but dont feel it is fair to ask to proxy in a mini tourny

Or

Libby with gate and null zone
terminator assault squad x5
2x 10 man tac squads with heavy bolter and plasma gun each
5 man scout squad with snipers

I can play about with the weapons on the tacs to give enough points for a teleport homer, any good?

I like the second one you can always support your libby/Tac Squad with 200pts of non scatering goodness.
Try and Give your scout squad Camo cloaksif you have the spare poits it increases there servivability alot. and try and drop them in that way
in the end its still a 2+5++ beat stick thats showing up somewhere
