I run a ravenwing list with a landspeeder, Ven Dread, Preadator Tank , and a Rhino

Is it cool to take a Techmarine with this?

If your looking for the answer in the tactical point of view then you should post this in the tactics forum

I agree this should be in tactics, but I'll try to give you an answer anyways. From what I've seen, no one runs techmarines in any competitive list. I assume you listed the vehicles because you'd want him to repair hull points, but he most likely will not make a big difference in that area. That only really theoretically works in a gunline of vehicles or from inside the vehicle you want to repair. Either he's in the rhino, so he can only repair that (and let's face it, it'll die anyways; it's a rhino) or he's just following the pred or dread around, and the other 2 are nowhere near him. I'd rather just spend the points on another vehicle than a guy who may only repair a hull point or two over the course of a game.

I agree the most common job I see tech marines soon is manning thunder fire cannons, even then they are rarely used
