seams like it would hold up against new marine dex tho
Well, the local scene is roughly as follows:
Necrons: The staple amongst all Necron players is a Destroyer Lord with
MSS in a unit of Wraiths, Deathmarks with a Cryptek with Template of IGoAgainstYourLdButWoundOn2+Anyway in a Transport Flyer (I forget which one), usually another Flyer or two in there, and then a 1-3 squads of footslogging Immortals/Warriors. There's the one guy (well actually there's two, but the second rarely appears) who takes multiple Annihilation Barges and/or
CCBs. And a C'tan shard is always popular.
Space Marines: Quite a few
DA players with the usual Deep-Strike heavy lists. Two Imperial Fists players who like using Lysander. There's a
BA player too. There's two
SW players but one takes really uncompetitive armies, the other is just bad. The rest are just "normal" armies really. I've never had a problem with them, especially with Eldar.
Tau: There's about 2-3 typical gun-line armies. There's one guy who takes multiple Riptides, but he's terrible, so I don't worry about him.
DE: Not Venom-Spam, oddly. One guy takes a mainly
CC army with Wyches/Incubi. The other takes a lot of Trueborn and one or two Venoms, plus a flyer and a Ravager.
IG: Three players, though I imagine one will be using
DA instead. They're mostly just standard gunlines. The two I think will use
IG like tanks.
CSM: One guy likes Nurgle Bikers, the other likes Khorne Beserkers. Not really worried about these guys, all though one does use a Helldrake or two fairly often.
Daemons: A flying circus player. The only guy who's ever beaten me regularly.
Obviously, this is at higher points levels, there's be a lot less at 600pts, but obviously we rarely play that low. It's not a tough local scene really, I'm only really worried about the Necron Players (who are all competent), one
IG player, this one Tau Player (and markerlights concern me in general) and the Flying Circus guy (but I can't imagine it being half as bad at 600).
