I did try this with a aegis defense line in there minus storm trooper squad 1. Flyers just avoided for the most part. I have found out the manticores are great a punching armor up pretty good. The snipers are pretty good for holding the backfield objective.

Well as you dont really have any anti air that will probably be your greatest threat, but you probably already know that so I wont beat a dead horse. Your manticores will do great but if your opponent does have a flier and they do come one your manticores will be prime targets and if theres night fight 1st turn your manticores might do very little. But all that could happen if your opponent has fliers. If they dont run fliers you should dominate most armies. Your list just lacks longer range ap1-2 weappons, plasma got there range but for all your melta they have to be up close. And your manticores lack any real ap killing power as basic marines can make the saves.

I have played this and do well enough with it. I did swap out Marbo with Harker, and added a hunter killer missile to the scout sentinel. I think Harker is more helpfully than arbo in this list.

Which squad did you put harker in and how effective was he?

Harker went into the sniper squad. He did well enough. The snipers, missile launcher, and Harker had a good spot to infiltrate and just harrassed three or four blood angel tactical squads (5 each).
