Ran this list yesterday against a buddy of mine playing CSM, fortunately for him he brought two hades autocannon drakes which made for an awesome dogfight scenario, but alas it wasn't enough to overcome the Iron Hands

Other than the MOTF and TFC, which stayed in back, along with the TLAC dread, and one 5 man tac squad who hung out in the back to hold an objective and lay down long range hurt, everything else was full speed ahead into the enemy, massive armour saturation.

Dude, it was super fun. Felt like I should be playing panzer general not 40k. Got night fighting turn one also, so cruising speed then pop smoke and I had a 3/4+ cover save against incoming fire, then 2/3 of my reserves came in turn two for close air support.

I had some points left at the end, and I was debating between making some of the troops squads 6 guys each, or adding kit to the razors. As I decided to try the Assault Cannons on the Razors, I figured I'd throw on the blades because if the TLHB one gets stuck, It's still got 36" range, but the AC ones really need to move up due to their 24" range.

I've heard for the points that Las/Plas is better on the razors, but i've got las on the pred, S10 on the vindi, and S8 on the two MM/ML dreads, So I figured i'd go for the massed S6 instead.
