There is little in the way of gunlines in my meta, so I have tons of room for experimentation. I am unlikely to ever spam so many identical squads, but just for fun, how do you think this army would do?

Unfortunately not great. Yes you get to infiltrate a few big units. But their basic tactical units. If you want a gun line why infiltrate? When they do infiltrate they are not kitted out for combat and have nothing to pass through any sort of armour save in close combat. Infiltrate near another tactical unit packing a couple of plasma weapons and a power weapon and you'll be overwhelmed.

Predators are good, but if they can be taken out quickly (a couple of deep striking terminator units -DA,CSM or plain SM; flyers; bikes; landspeeders....) your left with very little.

If you want a gun line why not get a double FOC.
A couple of ADLS + Guns
Then you could put three units of havocs and three preadators on the board for very little points and you have a really strong long ranged gun line.
Whack a few helbrutes into the mix to shoot and act as a body guard and then you can concerntrate on the other aspects of the army.

I agree with above except instead of helbrute go for forge fiends because they will wreak anything from hoards to tanks to flyers and love it.

Also i always say this but drop Huron and take a Nurgle wizard because he is so much better.

It is incredibly hard to deal with that sort of body count at 2000pts.

Do it. I would actually drop TLLCs and flamers (with that many bolters, who gives a feth about Flamers) to try and give Icon of Vengeance to as many units as possible.

Huron is hilarious if he rolls Forwarning or something.

Changed the list a bit. Took some icons and better weapons, ditched the predators, swapped in a MoN sorcerer.

If this army faces any heldrakes, the poor CSM will be very sad.

But otherwise this army basically is "Drown the enemy in power armour." tactics wise.

Few can force off 121 models with t4 3+ in a 2000 points game before they are buried under the angry CSM.

What do you say, should I swap out some weapons and take more Icons?

Tactics wise, the icon guys would obviously go in the front, as that makes them the ones most likely to be shot at.

Considering swapping in Fabius, he makes his squad fearless and can make another squad fearless as well. Not bad at all.
