I'm trying to be fairly competitive with this list. I normally consider sternguards an auto-include but I figured I'd try Grav-cannon centurions and take them for a spin. The list is a little light on troops but I think there are enough threats on the board to keep them safe. Here goes:

HEADQUARTERS

IF Chapter Master, TDA, TH, Shield Eternal 235
DA Librarian, TDA, PFG, lvl 2 160

TROOPS

IF Tacticals (x10), MG, HB, vet srgt, combi-plasma, rhino 215
IF Tacticals (x10), MG, HB, vet srgt, combi-plasma, rhino 215
DA scouts (x6), cloaks, snipers, vet srgt 94

FAST ATTACK

Stormtalon, TML 145

ELITES

IF Terminators (x10), 1x CF, 2x CML 455

HEAVY SUPPORT

IF Devastators (x10), 2x LCs, 2xML/Flakks, vet srgt 240
IF Centurions (x3), 3x MLs, 3x Grav-Cannons, omniscope 290
TFC 100

FORTIFICATIONS

Aegis Defence Line, quad-gun 100

Total of 2249

The CM will join the termies and deepstrike and tank wounds; they'll also pack a good punch in CC if needed. Alternatively they can walk up the board and fire as they.
The centurions and DA libby will walk and shred with Prescience and hopefully the power that forces saves rerolls.
The tacticals will most likely combat-squad, drop off the heavy-bolters midfield while the rest advance for the forward objectives. I'm thinking if I walk the termies they can form a line in front of the rhinos to provide them cover.
Scouts will objective-camp in a reinforced ruin while the TFC can provide anti-horde support.
Devastators will split, 2 lascannons and srgt on the quadgun, 2 MLs in reinforced ruin to take down flyers (tank-hunting flakks works out decent against flyers). The Stormtalon will also help against flyers or provide fire-support.

Any thoughts on this? I kinda like the idea of the indomitable force marching forward and shredding stuff...

I don't know if my list-building just sucks or if people aren't used to 2250pts but I haven't been getting much feedback lately... For reference, beakycon is 2250 this year , my best friend is going so I build those list with his 'Cron force in mind. Anybody care to throw in their 2 cents?
