*************** 1 HQ ***************
Librarian with Prescience
- Force Sword
- Boltgun
- Power Field Generator
Command Squad
- 3 Bolters
- 2 Combi-Plasmaguns
- Dakka Banner
- 1 Apothecary
*************** 2 Troops ***************
Tactical Squad
10 Bolters
Tactical Squad
10 Bolters
*************** 1 Fast Attack ***************
1 Land Speeder w. 2 Multi Meltas
*************** 1 Fortification ***************
Aegis Defence Line
- Icarus-Lascannon
Total : 750
So what do you think?
At 750 points level, a dual MM Land Speeder deep striking next to the enemy's main battle tank should suffice for AT duty. Plus I always have the Icarus Lascannon which can also swat down Flyers.
I got a gun line that spews forth 104 S4 shots due to the Banner of Devastation at 24" and BS4, 40 of which are twin-linked due to Prescience; the Command Squad has 3+/4++ save and a 5+ FNP.
I even have 2 Combi-Plasmas to threaten a deep striking terminator squad.
This list has 2 weaknesses: it is static and short ranged. But I think given the circumstance of an assault oriented army, it will do just great.

I was in a 1k point game the other day, went up vs 2 maulerfiends.... what would you do vs THAT. even 1 at 750 is scary. though the amount of melta fails was... ridiculous. Vs assault armies it may well shred some guys. I have like 30 bodies in my 750 BA army AT BEST. That being said. a tau/eldar would love this list  or anything with a range > 24" really lol.

Land Speeder can't shoot the turn it arrives (via deep strike).
A single one of them is rarely good, especially with effective range of 12"
And your tacticals need special weapons. I mean really NEED them to be anywhere near effective.
This works well against hordes, but what will you do against T6+ MC's? Two combi-gun isn't nearly enough.

Yes it can. In fact, it can fire both Multi-meltas and at normal BS, to boot.

I actually used something very similar to this as part of a 2000 Point army against tyranids.
Created a 24" box of no-go zone for my opponent.
When he did get into range, everything was shredded to bits. Even his Trygon lost a couple life-points.
Only difference was: Instead of a land speeder, I had a whirlwind. Also all my stuff camped out on a Skyshield and behind an Aegis.
PS: I didn't know you played Dark Angels. Are you proxying some of your BTs?
Cheers,
Chris

Nah, I was just taking a look through the DA codex and wondering how to paint the Space Marines in my Dark Vengeance box when I came across the banners. Guardians of the Covenant make for a great scheme if I decided to take some DA allies, but they also make for good BTs with their robes and everything.
Welcome to Dakka, by the way, seeing this is your first post. Head on over to the introductory forum and tell us about yourself

Nope. Page 36 of the BRB, last paragraph on the left half of the page. Vehicles count as having moved at cruising speed. Page 83, shooting with Fast vehicles: Fast vehicles can fire 2 main weapons at crusing speed (unlike 5th)
