I was just mucking about today, and made this list. I was wondering how balanced it actaully is though - I thought it was alright.

Well, what do you think?

Against Tau, the Whirlwinds use Vengance missiles to shred FW, while the Tacticals and Assault Squad to the job on the Crisis Suits/Hammerheads.

Against Assault armies, I run Castellan missiles,and force the enemy into my shooting lines, or make him take hits.

Oh, where I play, there is a mix of EVERYTHING - Marines, Chaos, Tau, Orks, Nids.... A second place I play is full of Marines and Necrons.

It's looks solid enough.  I've got a single whirlwind that's apparently crewed by cross-eyed gunners; I almost never get any love from my scatter dice.  Even with my dice, three whirlwinds sounds like enough staturation to kill something.  My biggest concern would be the single dreadnought drawing the hate of all the enemy's anti-tank weapons.
