Need's more scoring, so i'd say another set of tactical marines.

Also, i'd give the razorback a melta/flamer weapon, to go along with the theme of vulkan. Unless they are allready twin linked on there, i'm not sure.

Also, could do the same with the stormtalon.

So yeah, one more tactical squad, and maybe another storm talon. Or even, if you can squeeze the points, get a stormraven.

The flamers are already TL on the razorbacks.
Talon has no melta/template stuff AFAIK.

Hi doktor

First I would swap the RB for DPs.

Lose the second term unit and trade that for a Libby (with null zone and other) to ride with terms in LR.

Add a scout squad (cheap scoring)

Add a second Stormtalon (have both with sky hammer missiles, it's cheaper and you get 3 shots.

Lose the aegis, your Stormtalons are your AA.

If you can, get another DP in there. Either from a third tact unit (instead of scouts) or an ironclad dread. 1600 points is and odd points max. If you are going higher, I can't recommend TFCs enough. Take always 2, as people see them and FF them always.

How do you fit 10 Marines into a Razorback?

If you are combat squadding your tacs, get better heavy weapons. Salamanders work well in rhinos moving the whole squad up though. Or drop pods, if you want to go that route.

a 5 man sniper squad would free up the tacs to do whatever by manning the quad for cheap.

MM/HF speeders are always fun.

If you are kicking your tacs out of the razors in favor of rhinos/pods, you could grab a 6 man unit of sternguard to stick in one. While not the first turn alpha-strike of drop pod sternguard, they make nice troubleshooters.

I would drop the second unit of terminators for another scoring unit (or add one if upping the points) as I recommend a scoring unit for every 500 points. If you go scouts you might put a beacon on them to DS the terminators to counter an enemy flanker/DS unit. If not then some more tacticals can't go wrong to man the quad or home objective.

Well theres your problem, no wonder your having trouble.
