The Idea of this list is to hit fast and hard. Every single unit except the Hunter/Stalker has the Scout USR (The IH Chapter Master joins a bike unit, and the Scouts of course already have it, the rest of the army from Khan). I've not played a tournament in years, so I have many questions...

Is it enough AA?
Is it enough AA I could drop a Talon for another Assault squad or more scouts?
Should the Assault Squad maybe be in a Drop Pod? (The Squad gets Scout in the Rhino)
Is the Chapter Master worth it?
What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't it be good to move an AA tank to the Iron Hands section.

Perhaps the assault squad would be better in a Drop Pod?
A lone Rhino seems a huge risk and target priority for first blood

Thanks for the feedback guys. The Hunter and one of the Stormtalons being IH is a great idea, don't know how that got past me. I agree the DP is probably the best thing for the Assault squad. I've updated the list, any other suggestions?
If I were to drop the Assault Squad and the Auspex on the CM or bombs on the scout sergeant I could have another Scout Squad (IH) in a LSS...

Too bad the Chapter Master can't be your warlord...I bet that sucker never dies!

I like it a lot. Only thing I might change would be to add a Command Squad decked out in grav and an Apothecary. With the Chapter Master tanking and the FNP, they'll be a tough nut to crack. Just scoot 'em around gunning down anything you please 'til your ready to send ol' Chapter Master on his merry way to go beat somethings face. If you dropped one of the other grav squads and the Stalker, you'd have the points for it on the nose. That still leaves you with 6 scoring units and good AA.
Overall, solid list

2 Stormtalons is plenty of AA, I have trailed both the hunter and stalker and found both were lacking, I would consider dropping at least 1 of these and scratch up a few points for a thunderfire but otherwise your list is great.

1. You have good AA but no interceptor, and bike heavy lists always suffer from Heldrakes. I would swap out one of the AA tanks for an Aegis w/quad just to get interceptor. Whichever tank shoots the missile, keep that one. I can never remember which is which.

2. Thunderfires are awesome, thats the only thing I'd add.

The Chapter Master is a beatstick, list looks fast and hitty but you will suffer through attrition. Your model count is low, that just goes hand in hand with running bikes. You don't really have anything to babysit a quadgun but rather than lots of AA during your turn I think you need some interceptor.
