What is the libby doing? Riding shotgun in the razorback?
You have a lot of las, melta and plas going on, which I like but the tri las preds are so expensive. You could field a vindicator in one of the spots and save 50 points.
Or you could drop one attack bike and a pred and field a Storm Raven.
Predators have a special place in my heart, but no longer in my lists. Their cost to benefit ratio is just way off in the current dex.

Yes, libby with sterguard and probably GOI and null zone or something.

True about the predators they cost abit but regardless, they still have alot of presence on the field and can deal to most things.

I'm not so sure about adding in a storm raven as I dont really have anything to make use of its transport capacity. The pred triplets were with the hope that they could deal to fliers reasonably if they turn up and then annihilate anything on the ground. What about loosing a predator for a storm talon? They seem more apt for dog fighting for their cost to me. I can see it working with the talon focussing on fliers if they're around, then if facing a horde army, they can pump a few shots into them rather than lascannoning 'gaunts.
