The Stormtalons will take on enemy flyers. The Captains join a squad for the 2+ up front. Lots of Relentless Plasma Guns and a whole raft of Melta, too. I have been debating on putting HBs on the Plasma squad Attack Bikes - for added shots over the S8 AP1. Not sure, but its an easy swap and with the extra 30pt it saves me, I can put a Storm Shield on each Captain if needed. Considered Flamers, but with Cover being less of an issue, that seems moot. The naked Sergeants are also odd - think I should at least get a Power Axe for them maybe?

35 T5 3+ models, of which 5 have multiple wounds, and 2 T5 2+ models, with three wounds each.

Seems mobile and shooty. With Combat Tactics they can break off and shoot up the enemy, too.

Thoughts?

It is a very reasonable list. Bikers are hard to play and not very forgiving.

I would be tempted to use combat squads to bring more scoring units.
The other unit you may love is having a command squad, these get expensive but can work very well.

I would not be too sure of the captain set up, I either cheaper or more expensive. I would give them hellfire ammo, as why not.

The second HQ should almost certainly be a librarian. The uncertainty is really over silly ideas using allies or using 2 command squads.

Good luck, I have yet to find a good tactica for 6th edition bikers. 5th edition was very different but the strategy will be the same, essentially hit and run.
