So GW just made the CCS a real weapons platform by adding the option to take five special weapons into the unit... here is my white scar list utilising the bike scouting movement to outflank some bikes and to move forward and get the gravguns into range faster. Also brought some drop pods to deal with hordes

I I don't really get the tacticals again. Plus I'd want someone in Artificier Armour at the front of those command squads.

But those command squads have just made my Devastator Centurions redundant . Also with so many troops choices why not take a 3rd command squad?

Why not ditch the tactical squads and go with Assault Squads in Drop Pods. You can get 5 marines, 2 flamers and the pod for 95 points!

Then, ditch the MM attack bikes for Bikes in the troop section and your solid

I'm not sure the libby is necessary

Libby opens up 2nd command squad. He needs a 2nd HQ if not a 3rd.

hmmm... back to the drawingboard...

If you're using two HQs and tacticals in a drop pod, you could possibly utilise a detachment of salamanders to make those flamers twin linked and the combis master crafted?

One of the command squads would have to go salamanders, but it could make your drop pod punch a little scarier with the twin linked flamers.

Another option that could be used with this would be to make one of those 5-man flamer squads into an assault squad (I believe they would only be 95pts armed with two flamers in a drop pod so could save you some points for elsewhere)

I like this list, although I agree that you should use assault marines as your cheap flamers.

I'm also not sold on the storm raven. With the talon and the amount of grav guns you've got you should be alright without it. Drop the libby and take a captain with SS and artificer armour.

I think you should drop the raven and add 2 thunderfire cannons.

They will really increase the dakka and will help vs hoards.

Probably drop some of the attack bikes and try to get another storm talon or preferabbly 2!

yes, agaisnt nids, orks, gaurd, or any hoard your in trouble. the double TFC would do better than the storm raven
