I realise the troops are somewhat in short supply here but with half the tactical squad in the razorback and the other half in a fortified ruin they should have some degree of survivability. Telion lends his added defense to the scout squads lifespan and the vehicles provide maneuverability.

There's a decent amount of AA and anti light/medium vehicles, not much anti AV14 but I havent faced all that much AV14 at this points level

I think I'd want another Tactical Squad at that point level really.

6 marines and 5 scouts is very, very light.

Sorry, Tactical Squad is at 10 men and combat squaded, so its 10 and 5 scouts. I do have asecond tactical squad I could fit in though am at a loss as to what to take out in order to fit them in.

Best option to fit them in would be to lose both predators for the right amount of points, though I have traditionally been disappointed in how little my tactical marines do for me in the average game. Scouts and a storm are less durable but easier to get to an objective (and I have the storm) and traditionally seem to do more point for point for me.

1. Landspeeder storm is garbage. terrible despite all the gimmicky things it can do. if i were you, i'd boot it for a typhoon.
2. thunderfire cannons are really vulnerable to getting ganked. they have respectable range and cool tricks but are made of paper maiche. you know it and so does your opponent.
3. razorbacks can take a lot better armament than heavy bolters. utilize this to your advantage.
4. telion is neat, but in a small game, you need to be looking more at staying mobile, instead of camping in ruins. I'd probably replace the scout squad with another tac squad.
5. its cheesy, but awesome that you can squeeze two flyers in a t 1000 points. good work!

I'd probably go slightly different if I were you with this list:

add decked out rhinos or stronos pattern razorbacks as necessary.

So the typoons would be squadronned right otherwise thats 4 FA?

It seems like a solid list, adding a pair of razorback to the tacs if points allow (will check codex when I get home), I have the spare tac anyway so its not an extra cost.

yea squad the typhoons up. If you had more points to play with, I'd say bring three. they are really useful.
