so, a bunch of guys just want to get together and have a "tourney" with the winner getting a meal from the rest lol. 500 pts

here is my intended list as I am a huge fan of herohammer.

I was thinking Iron Hands CT, thoughts?

Chapter master w/ bike, BB, Shield Eternal, digital weapons, artificer armor, Primarch wrath- 305
Tac squad w/ missile launcher w/ vet Sgt- 95
Tac squad w/ flamer, combi flamer w/ vet Sgt- 95

If you're not taking bike troops, why bother with the bike on the CM? With Shield Eternal and Artificer (along with their other stats) it seems a waste of points. T5 is the only real benefit to him that I can see.

Instead I'd put the tac (flamer/combi flamer) into a Rhino. I'd also consider dropping the vet upgrades for special/combi weapons instead.

What are you facing for opponents?

he is on a bike so he can be mobile! (also he can orbital bombard, move, and charge now)

1 tac sits in the back with the ML to hold an obj (if thats the mission)

the other moves up, (albiet a tad slow :/) one is for anti-mc/tank

the other is kitted for anti horde lol


and a mix of everything, I am putting money on them not being able to handle my Chapter master at 500pts, (at least, not easily enough till T4-5 lol)

With 6+ FnP, T5 for the FnP vs power klaws/fists and Lascannons, and IWND I would say he is a hard nut to crack at 500pts.

The only worry I have is hordes of gribblies w/ toxin sacs :/

Drop the Vet Sgt Upgrades. That Chap Master will destroy.

inspired by your post I built a simlar list that you may want to consider. Using the Clan Raukaan supplement

CM: Bike, Gorgons chain, TH, AA- 245pts (yes, about half the army)

Troops:
Tac squad-MM-DP-melta bomb- 120pts (drop in close to high value target or far objective)
Scout squad- snipers-camo cloaks- 70 pts (sit behind cover, on home obj if there is one)

FA:
Bike squad: 63 pts (go with CM to murder things)

Total: 498pts

May want to consider the supplement since it will give you some help with the eternal warrior bit by allowing you to take the gorgon chain, it is cheaper and i think better. Was it ever resolved that you could take more than one chapter relic on a single model?

If you drop the Burning blade to a plain old Thunder Hammer and dropped the unnecessary Primarchs Wrath you CM costs just 260 points and is just as killy and survivable. But now doesn't have a sword that can kill him but is cheap enough to support with 2 Bike squads.

CM: TH, SE, AA, bike 250
5 Bikes: 2 meltas 125
5 Bikes: 2 meltas 125

Or you could switch it up:

CM: TH, SE, AA, bike 250
5 Bikes: 2 gravguns 135
5 Bikes: 2 flamers 115

Same bodies as your list but now all T5 somewhere for you CM to hide if your worried about him getting torrented down. An entire modile army and far more killing power.

Take flingitnow's advice he is spot on as usual pal, a pure biker list at 500 points will do very well and gives your beat stick commander some much needed ablative wounds. Relentless grav guns are also ace.

A storm raven in 500pts would be cool, maybe storm raven, x2 5 man tact squads with ML and a librarian tiggy would be hilarious.
