So the idea is relatively straightforward; everyone is fast and everyone has flamers and meltabombs. The shrike+VV unit should be able to get a turn 2 assault if not turn 1, the scouts take out units in cover and or vehicles, and the assault squads+landspeeders support and destroy whats needed. Its clearly a bit glass cannon but I think against gunlines it will be in their face too quickly to stop them, and against hordes theres enough flamers to take out large swathes. Either way its so mobile it should be able to dance around almost any other army (DE may be the exception).

The VV's can be trimmed of some of their extras so that I can change out some things, I'm considering dropping a power weapon on them to make the landspeeders all have Typhoon missile launchers, or swap two of the LSS heavy flamers for multi-meltas.

Let me know what y'all think, any criticism/tweaks/advice are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You need to have two troop choices. So either another squad in a LSS or some sniper scouts to sit back on an objective. Also consider running another squad of Vangaurd instead of the Assault sqaud. The 370 points for two assualt squads would get you either
5 scouts in LSS
5 Vanguard vets with 2 plasma pistols

or

5 sniper scouts
5 Vanguard vets with lots of toys

I dig the big ass Shrikebomb you got going though.

He has 4 scout squads so ya. I like it but its simple and has no AA but if he has none in his meta he is fine.

Pretty fluffy list

Yeah its 4 five man scout squads in LSS's. Thanks for the replies though, any thoughts on how to fit in some AA that wouldnt be stationary (ADL)? I could drop an assault squad for a stormtalon, or drop the speeders and some VV upgrades and get two of them, I just worry about losing my early games impact.

Also, any thoughts on switching the landspeeders to typhoons or are the HF/MM's okay?

Thanks again.

Trim down the power weapons on the VV, maybe take out a LSS with scout set and swap it out for the talon
